Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
Can I eat honey now?
I saw related information online saying that you shouldn't eat honey in the early stages of pregnancy. What are the factors or underlying causes for this?
Thank you, Doctor!

Doctor's answer:

Hello; Honey water, generally, is most suitable to be consumed 1-2 hours before meals or 2-3 hours after meals. Pregnant women are suitable to drink honey. It not only promotes beauty but also moisturizes the intestines and promotes bowel movement. Drinking a large glass of warm honey immediately after getting up in the morning is very effective for constipation. However, it is not advisable to exceed one teaspoon per day. Generally, doctors recommend that women with signs of pregnancy complicated with hepatitis should rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
