Patient's question:
I might be pregnant for 2 months (my last period was on November 3rd). I haven't taken folic acid. I haven't registered at the relevant unit yet, and there are no symptoms. What should I pay attention to now? Do I need to supplement nutrition? When do the usual symptoms usually appear?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Pregnancy symptoms can appear as early as 12 weeks. The symptoms vary from person to person, mostly including nausea and vomiting. What you need to do now is to prevent viral and bacterial infections, especially rubella, hepatitis B, measles, influenza, shingles, etc. Since the nutritional and mineral needs of the fetus's growth and development must be provided by the pregnant woman, you can eat more eggs, fish, meat, animal liver, fresh vegetables, fruits, etc. However, avoid excessive tonics and herbal supplements to prevent the pregnant woman from becoming overly obese and the fetus from being too large, which may lead to difficult labor.
