Can pregnant women eat chestnuts?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can pregnant women eat chestnuts?

Doctor's answer:

After pregnancy, pay attention to the balance of nutrition. Eat more nutritious vegetables and fruits, but avoid the following foods: hawthorn, coix seed, longan, almond, black fungus, purslane, stored potatoes, crabs, softshell turtle, kelp, and hot spices, etc. These foods often have active softening properties, and consuming them may cause bleeding or miscarriage in early pregnancy. Therefore, do not eat them.
