Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
It's okay to eat fruits that are in season as much as you like. In the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus is still settling in the uterus, and if you consume overly cold, greasy, or blood-activating fruits like watermelon, muskmelon, or hawthorn, it can easily cause diarrhea in pregnant women, trigger uterine contractions, and lead to miscarriage. This is particularly important for women with a weak constitution, a history of miscarriage, or other such conditions. In the middle and later stages of pregnancy, pregnant women often have a tendency towards heat and insufficient yin-blood, and consuming too many warm-natured fruits like lychees, mangoes, or longans can easily cause symptoms like constipation, sore throat, or eczema, and even lead to restlessness in fetal movement. Therefore, it's best to avoid fruits that are too cold or too hot. Too cold fruits can easily cause uterine contractions, while too hot fruits can easily lead to constipation in pregnant women. Apples are a typical example of fruits with a balanced nature, rich in iron, vitamins, and fine fiber, which have a good regulating effect on the gastrointestinal tract. They can alleviate diarrhea and promote bowel movement. However, no matter what kind of fruit, it's important not to overeat.
