Patient's question:
21-year-old female, I and my husband started trying to conceive from the beginning of our marriage, and now I'm pregnant. I'm just very worried. Could you please tell me what foods should be avoided during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, it is advisable to eat foods that are light yet nutritious, while avoiding extremely cold, greasy, and spicy, irritating foods. Foods like crabs, soft-shell turtles, hawthorns, and Job's tears are prone to causing miscarriage, so it's best to avoid them as much as possible during pregnancy. Additionally, many canned foods and pickled vegetables lack nutrition and can easily affect the brain development of the fetus, so attention should be paid to these. Do not have any psychological stress, maintain a cheerful mood, and pay attention to getting plenty of rest during this period. At the same time, maintain a light diet, avoiding greasiness and spiciness, which will be beneficial for both you and the fetus in your womb.
