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. Can pregnant women eat fennel sprouts?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is appropriate to consume in moderation. It is recommended to pay attention to a balanced diet during pregnancy, eat more vegetables and fruits, and ensure adequate intake of nutrients such as protein. You can also take some vitamins and minerals as supplements, which are beneficial for the health of the fetus and the mother.Many people believe that it is necessary to consume more tonics, but excessive supplementation for the mother can lead to an excess of nutrients, making delivery more difficult. Especially during pregnancy, it is not suitable to take warming-tonic medications. The most typical and easily misused ones are ginseng and longan.
Ginseng is a tonic that replenishes qi, but during pregnancy, the mother's body is in a state of relatively deficient yin and blood while having relatively excessive yang. Warming-tonic supplements like deer antler velvet and deer horn glue are not recommended for pregnant women.
You can consume more goji berries during winter.
