Just pregnant, can eat black fungus and carrots?

Patient's question:

I just got pregnant. Can I eat black fungus and carrots? Thank you for your answer.

Doctor's answer:

Most expectant mothers in the early stages of pregnancy are troubled by pregnancy symptoms and poor appetite. During this stage, expectant mothers don't need to force themselves to eat more. Instead of worrying about chicken, duck, and fish every day, it's better to choose foods they enjoy to boost their appetite. There's no need to force themselves to eat greasy or appetite-suppressing foods.
The early stages of pregnancy are when the fetus's main organs are primarily formed, especially the development of the nervous system and major internal organs. During this period, the fetus's organ development requires a significant amount of vitamins and minerals, particularly folic acid, iron, and zinc. However, expectant mothers often find it difficult to determine when they are pregnant. Therefore, it's essential to start taking additional vitamins and minerals as soon as they begin planning to conceive.
