Is it okay for pregnant women to eat potatoes?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is it okay for pregnant women to eat potatoes?

Doctor's answer:

Certainly, it can be said that pregnant women consuming some potatoes and other tuberous foods in moderation is beneficial to their health. Since potatoes are high-starch foods, their carbohydrates can replenish the energy that pregnant women lack due to supporting the fetus (sugar). However, it must be consumed in moderation, as excessive intake can also cause high blood sugar during pregnancy.
Hello, based on your description, starting sexual activity three days after insertion of the intrauterine device (IUD) is a bit too early. It is advisable to wait for one week of rest before considering intercourse. The insertion of an IUD itself may cause abdominal discomfort, which can last for several days. For your specific situation, it is recommended to consult a gynecologist for a check-up and not to take it lightly.
