Can pregnant women eat pigeon soup?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women can eat pigeon soup. The meat of pigeons is warm in nature, and consuming it can help tonify the kidneys, replenish qi, and nourish blood. It is very nutritious, but it is prone to causing internal heat. Some mothers who drink it while breastfeeding their babies notice that their little ones have excessive eye discharge, so it should not be consumed too frequently.
