Patient's question:
The other day in the morning, while using the restroom, I noticed brown discharge again on my underwear. I was already 10 weeks pregnant. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was preterm labor. I want to know what I should pay attention to, and also whether I can eat shrimp?Doctor's answer:
Women who are experiencing preterm labor can consume shrimp. Pregnant women at 10 weeks should pay attention to digestion. Symptoms such as weakness in limbs, dizziness, anemia, and gestational hypertension are all caused by calcium deficiency, which can interfere with fetal development. Due to being pregnant at 10 weeks, a pregnant woman should consume 800 milliliters of calcium daily. Therefore, pregnant women can drink calcium-fortified milk or milk, or take calcium supplements prescribed by a doctor to digest calcium. Tofu, bone broth, and shrimp skin also contain rich calcium, which can help pregnant women supplement calcium. Pregnant women at 10 weeks should drink more to purify the body, soften the stool, and improve gastrointestinal function, which can also prevent constipation.
