What should not be eaten during threatened miscarriage?

In case of threatened abortion, you should strengthen your diet in time and do a good job of preserving the fetus. You must go to the hospital for diagnosis and examination in time. You should not eat spicy or greasy food. In addition, try not to eat high-calorie food. Eat more easily digestible food and food that can easily improve immunity. It is best to eat light food.

1. Greasy, cold, and hairy bamboo shoots and other foods that are difficult to digest

For patients with weak constitution or a history of miscarriage, threatened miscarriage after pregnancy is often caused by insufficient organ function. Therefore, patients should eat nutritious and easily digestible foods, and avoid fried foods, fatty meat, cold drinks, bamboo shoots and other indigestible foods, so as to avoid damage to the spleen and stomach, indigestion, and even diarrhea, which can lead to insufficient qi and blood, malnutrition of the fetus, and threatened abortion.

2. Spicy food

Spicy foods (such as chili peppers, ginger, garlic, etc.) can help generate heat and fire, causing heat to accumulate in the blood vessels, forcing blood to flow abnormally, causing the blood sea to be unstable, and causing fetal movement disorders. Moreover, spicy and hot things consume Qi and mobilize blood, making Qi even weaker and unable to be consolidated, resulting in the fetus being unstable and causing miscarriage. In addition, heat damages kidney yin and affects fetal growth; spicy food damages body fluids and can easily cause constipation. Defecation is laborious and requires increased abdominal pressure, which is not conducive to preserving the fetus.

3. Raw, cold and blood-activating foods

Such as coix seed, cinnamon, dried ginger, peach kernel, crab, hawthorn, okra seeds, etc. Avoid raw, cold and cool foods. Such as raw and cold fruits and vegetables, cold vegetables, frozen drinks, and ice products.

4. Do not use strong laxatives

During pregnancy, intestinal motility and intestinal tension weaken, and the amount of exercise decreases, making constipation more likely to occur. At the same time, due to the pressure of the uterus and fetus, defecation may also be difficult. In addition to developing the habit of regular bowel movements, patients with this disease should also eat more vegetables and fruits rich in fiber. If necessary, laxatives can be taken orally, such as 5-10 mg of bisacetylcholine or 1-2 tablets of fruit laxative tablets before bedtime. However, strong laxatives such as senna and mannitol are prohibited to avoid causing miscarriage.

Expectant mothers with threatened miscarriage should eat a light diet and eat foods that are easier to digest and nutritious. For example, you can eat more foods containing vitamin E, such as soy products, walnuts, etc. Because vitamin E can play a role in preserving pregnancy, it is important to supplement enough vitamin E.
