What foods are suitable for pregnant women who are lacking progesterone?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, a lack of progesterone in pregnant women is mainly prone to cause threatened miscarriage. However, there are no specific foods that can supplement progesterone. Generally, progesterone injections are used to prevent miscarriage. Different syndromes require different dietary approaches.
For qi deficiency, it is recommended to consume more foods that tonify qi and stabilize the fetus, such as ginseng soup, chicken soup, and millet porridge.
For blood deficiency, it is advisable to nourish blood and calm the fetus, with foods like glutinous rice porridge, longan, black fungus, jujubes, lychee, lamb, lamb spine, lamb kidney, winter worm, and black beans.
For blood heat, it is recommended to clear heat and nourish blood, with foods such as loofah, reed root, pears, yam, and pumpkin.
