Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for over two months now. My mother-in-law keeps saying she won't give me this or that to eat, claiming that it could cause a miscarriage. I don't really believe that what she says will lead to a miscarriage. Could you please tell me what foods pregnant women should avoid to prevent miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
There is a certain toxicity to it. Consuming aloe vera during pregnancy can easily cause pelvic bleeding, leading to miscarriage. Haws, on the other hand, can stimulate uterine contractions in women. Excessive consumption of haws in the early stages of pregnancy can easily lead to miscarriage. There are also longans and lychees, which are both classified as "hot" fruits. After a woman becomes pregnant, her yin blood tends to be deficient, and excessive consumption of these fruits can lead to restlessness in the fetus, abdominal pain with vaginal bleeding. In addition to these precautions, a pregnant woman's diet should be rich and varied, and she should avoid being overly picky about food.
