Patient's question:
I used to love cold drinks very much, but now that I'm pregnant, I still can't resist eating ice cream. It's even harder to resist cold drinks when the weather gets hotter. My mom always says it's not good for the child. Please ask, will drinking cold drinks cause fetal malformation?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, especially in the early stages, consuming cold drinks can easily lead to fetal malformations. For example, taking cold and hot medications in the early stages can more easily cause fetal malformations or miscarriage. During pregnancy, we should eat more vegetables and fruits, eat fewer healthy meals, engage in appropriate activities, and consume fewer raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods, especially junk food, and try to avoid them as much as possible. We should also regularly visit the hospital for prenatal check-ups to rule out fetal malformations.
