Patient's question:
My wife recently got pregnant, but she has been craving duck wings lately. I heard from others that eating duck wings during pregnancy can lead to birth defects in the child, so I'm very worried. I want to know if it's really easy for children to have birth defects when eating duck wings during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy is safe to eat duck wings, and it is not easily associated with deformities. It will not cause any harm to the fetus, so there is no need to worry. After pregnancy, it is essential to eat more fruits and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods. It is also necessary to take folic acid tablets orally to prevent neural tube defects in the embryo. During this period, it is crucial to undergo every check-up, such as the four-week ultrasound and the heart ultrasound.
