NoDoctor's answer:
Pregnant women can eat ginger. Pregnant women can eat ginger, and in the early stages of pregnancy, ginger can alleviate morning sickness. However, pregnant women should not eat too much ginger at once. Ginger extracts can stimulate the gastric mucosa, causing reflexive excitation of the vasomotor center and sympathetic nerves, promoting blood circulation, invigorating stomach function, and achieving effects such as strengthening the stomach, relieving pain, inducing sweating, and reducing fever. Ginger's volatile oil can enhance the secretion of gastric juice and the peristalsis of the intestinal wall, thereby aiding digestion; the mixture of gingerene and gingerone isolated from ginger has a significant antiemetic effect.
