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 I drink Coke during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is best not to drink cola during pregnancy. Most cola drinks contain caffeine and other alkaloids such as theobromine. Caffeine can easily pass through the placenta into the fetus's body, not only affecting the fetal skeletal development but also potentially endangering vital organs such as the brain and heart. In normal pregnancies, fetal heart monitoring should be done once a week starting from the 37th week of pregnancy. If there are complications or complications, it can begin from the 28th to 30th week of pregnancy. Attention should be paid to whether the fetal heartbeat rhythm is suddenly fast or slow. The normal fetal heartbeat rate is 120-160 beats per minute. If the fetal heartbeat rate is above 160 beats per minute or persists at 100 beats per minute, it indicates fetal hypoxia in the uterus and should be treated promptly.
