Patient's question:
I am four and a half months pregnant. Previously, my appetite wasn't very good, and I always experienced morning sickness. I felt like vomiting no matter what I ate. But recently, things have improved a bit. I don't know why, but I've been craving fish. I've heard that fish is beneficial for pregnant women. I would like to ask if pregnant women can eat Qingjiang fish?Doctor's answer:
Qingjiang fish has a very high protein content, and its vitamin content is also relatively high, making it a nutritious food product. The meat is tender and thick, with a high fat content. The fish eggs are particularly abundant, and when fresh, they are silver-white in color. After drying, they become a precious fish belly. It was once hailed as a tribute during the Tang Dynasty. It is rich in nutrients needed during pregnancy, and pregnant women can eat Qingjiang fish. Eating more fish during pregnancy can also add DHA to the baby's brain development.
