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. Is it good for pregnant women to eat bitter greens?Doctor's answer:
Lettuce has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and it is safe for pregnant women to consume. During pregnancy, it is recommended to add more nutritionally balanced foods and avoid picky eating. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Regular prenatal examinations should be conducted for antenatal check-ups.Between weeks 22-26 of pregnancy, you can have a 4D color Doppler ultrasound for prenatal screening to detect abnormalities. The 4D color Doppler ultrasound can provide a three-dimensional display of the fetus's color, face, and the development of various organs. It can even observe the fetus's condition inside the mother's body. It can also help in the early diagnosis of fetal abnormalities, such as cleft lip, cleft palate, skeletal development abnormalities, and cardiovascular malformations.
