Patient's question:
I might be pregnant for 2 months (my last period was on November 3rd). I haven't taken folic acid. I haven't registered at the relevant unit yet, and there are no symptoms. What should I pay attention to now? Do I need to supplement nutrition? When do the general symptoms usually appear?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Pregnancy symptoms can appear as early as 12 weeks. The symptoms vary from person to person, mostly including nausea and vomiting. What you need to do now is to prevent viral and bacterial infections, especially rubella, hepatitis B, measles, influenza, and shingles. Since the nutritional and mineral needs of the fetus must be provided by the pregnant woman, you can eat more eggs, fish, meat, animal liver, fresh vegetables, fruits, etc. However, avoid excessive consumption of tonics and herbal supplements to prevent excessive weight gain in the pregnant woman and a large fetus that may lead to difficult labor.
