For many female friends, the happiest time is when they are pregnant and think about the little baby growing inside their belly. We often hear pregnant women say, "Painful but happy." Although the process can be uncomfortable, many people do not have a clear concept of what they cannot eat during pregnancy. Do you know that eating certain foods can increase the risk of miscarriage for pregnant women?
1. Crab
Crabs are delicious, but they have a cold nature and the ability to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Therefore, they are not beneficial for pregnant women, especially crab claws, which have a significant abortion effect;
2. Softshell Turtle
Although softshell turtles have the effect of nourishing yin and tonifying the kidneys, they have a salty and cold nature and strong abilities to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and disperse blood clots. Therefore, they have a certain risk of causing abortion, especially the abortion power of softshell turtle shell is stronger than that of softshell turtle meat. Both crabs and softshell turtles are particularly cold foods and should not be consumed during the first three months of pregnancy.
4. Portulaca Oleracea
Portulaca oleracea can be used as both a medicinal herb and a vegetable. It has a cool and slippery nature. Experiments have shown that portulaca oleracea juice has a significant excitement effect on the uterus, increasing the frequency and intensity of uterine contractions, which can easily lead to miscarriage.
5. Coix Seed, Hawthorn
Both of these foods have the effect of contracting the uterus, which can easily induce miscarriage.
6. Pickled Foods
Pickled vegetables and cured foods contain a large amount of nitrite. In addition, some cured meats are smoked and contain a large amount of benzo[a]pyrene. They are not good for pregnant women and babies!
7. Avoid taking medicine if possible
If pregnant women get sick, they should try to avoid taking Western medicine and use Chinese medicine instead. Taking Western medicine indiscriminately can easily cause fetal malformation. For minor colds, it is best to overcome them on your own.
Pregnant women need a lot of nutrition during pregnancy, so family members must pay attention to nutrition misconceptions in their diet. Pregnant women should also try to learn more about pregnancy knowledge.
