What to pay attention to in diet at seven weeks of pregnancy

Patient's question:

It is said that the first 8 weeks of pregnancy are the teratogenic sensitive period, and it is best to avoid taking supplements as much as possible. However, I started taking some comprehensive trace element tablets and DHA fish oil at week 7. Will this have any negative effects on the baby's health?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this is okay. It is recommended to eat low-glycemic index vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, greens, celery, etc. Fruits like grapefruits, kiwis, and protein should be chosen from high-quality sources such as lean meat and fish. Grains are best chosen as whole grains. But attention should be paid to the quantity.
