Patient's question:
I'm almost three months pregnant. I feel very sleepy during the day, my appetite has improved a lot, and I don't vomit much anymore. Recently, I've been craving bitter melon. I cooked some bitter melon for lunch yesterday and it felt good. I slept well last night. Today, I was thinking of eating a bit more, but I'm afraid it might affect the baby.What kind of help do I need: Can pregnant women eat bitter melon?
Doctor's answer:
Hypothesis of the issue: Women need a diversified diet with a balanced combination of meat and vegetables during pregnancy to ensure the health of their bodies and the growth and development of the baby. Therefore, it is considered that you can consume bitter melon in sufficient quantities. It is recommended that you always maintain a cheerful mood, pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, exercise appropriately, enhance friendship and physical health, and undergo prenatal check-ups on time. Intercourse is strictly prohibited in the early and late stages of pregnancy. Eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as fresh fish, meat, eggs, milk, soy products, fruits, etc. Missing out on the nutritional digestion in the early stages of pregnancy will have adverse effects on the growth and development of the baby in the future.
