Will eating watermelon cause miscarriage?

Watermelon is one of our essential fruits in summer. Watermelon not only tastes sweet, but also is very thirst-quenching and can greatly help relieve internal heat. Watermelon also contains many trace elements needed by our human body, and it is also very effective in relieving constipation and moisturizing dryness. It’s just that watermelon is cold in nature, so people who are menstruating or pregnant may be reluctant to eat it. So will eating watermelon cause miscarriage? Let’s take a look.

In addition to water, watermelon also contains carotene, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, ascorbic acid, protein, sugar, crude fiber, inorganic salts, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other substances.

Pregnant women often eat watermelon during pregnancy, which can not only replenish the body's nutritional consumption, but also better meet the fetus's nutritional intake. Eating some watermelon in the early stages of pregnancy can promote salivation and quench thirst, eliminate greasiness and relieve restlessness, and it is also effective in stopping vomiting. In the late stages of pregnancy, pregnant women often experience varying degrees of edema and high blood pressure. Eating watermelon regularly can not only help with diuresis and reduce swelling, but also lower blood pressure, which is also beneficial to the health of pregnant women. Watermelon can also increase the secretion of milk, so it is good for pregnant women to eat some watermelon.

Eat watermelon in moderation. If you eat too much watermelon, you will consume too much sugar. Due to physiological changes in the female endocrine system during pregnancy, the body's insulin is relatively insufficient, and the stabilizing effect on blood sugar decreases, resulting in high sugar concentrations in the blood. Gestational diabetes will occur, and gestational diabetes is an important cause of miscarriage and premature birth. Therefore, pregnant women should not eat too much watermelon. Eating fruit without moderation is the cause of gestational diabetes.

Through the above introduction, I believe many friends have already understood that even when pregnant, eating a moderate amount of watermelon will not cause miscarriage, so friends who are already pregnant do not need to worry too much about this. However, watermelon is indeed a cool food. In order to avoid diarrhea, even healthy people should not eat too much.
