Some people think that watercress is a cold food. Some research reports point out that because watercress has a menstrual effect and can interfere with egg implantation and prevent pregnancy, it is not recommended after pregnancy. You can drink watercress soup to prevent miscarriage or premature birth. Note: People with weak cold should take it with caution.
However, some people believe that watercress is a green leafy vegetable and is rich in vitamins B, C and other nutrients, so it is suitable for pregnant women to eat, and it is recommended that pregnant women consume 400-500 grams of vegetables every day. In fact, during pregnancy, you should be particularly careful whether you are eating or taking medicines. Do not eat or drink indiscriminately to prevent accidents.
As for whether you can eat watercress, the key depends on your physical fitness. Some pregnant women can eat it, while others may need to consult a doctor due to physical reasons. But generally speaking, it is still edible.
