Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What should I pay attention to in the early stages of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is best not to take supplements indiscriminately in the early stages of pregnancy to avoid adverse reactions and affect the development of the embryo. During the three months before pregnancy and the three months after pregnancy, taking 0.4 milligrams of folic acid supplements daily can prevent most neural tube defects in the fetus. Women taking folic acid should do so under the guidance of a doctor. Sexual activity should be avoided during the first three months of pregnancy to prevent miscarriage. After pregnancy, attention should be paid to nutritional balance, eating more nutritious vegetables and fruits, but the following foods should not be consumed: hawthorn, coix seed, longan, almond, black fungus, purslane, stored potatoes, crabs, softshell turtle, kelp, and hot spices, etc. These foods often have active properties that soften and harden, and consuming them can lead to bleeding and miscarriage in early pregnancy. Therefore, they should not be eaten.
