What cannot be eaten during pregnancy

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What should I avoid eating during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women consuming too much vitamin A can lead to premature birth and fetal developmental abnormalities. Therefore, they should only take 400-1250 micrograms of vitamin A per day. Pork liver is extremely rich in vitamin A, so pregnant women must avoid excessive consumption.
Excessive caffeine intake can affect fetal bone growth, potentially causing finger and toe deformities, as well as increasing the risk of miscarriage, premature birth, and low birth weight. It is best to avoid beverages containing caffeine. If it is necessary to consume them, no more than 2 cups of coffee or 3.5 cups of strong tea should be consumed daily.
