Extended data

Dietary precautions:

First, you should not drink too much tea.

Pregnant women should not drink too much or too much tea, because theophylline (caffeine) in tea has an exciting effect, which will increase fetal movement and even endanger fetal growth and development.

Second, it is not advisable to drink too much drinks and alcohol.

Because some drinks contain caffeine, clonine and other alkaloids, pregnant women will have poisoning symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, headache and rapid heartbeat after drinking, which will affect the normal development of fetal brain, heart and liver and cause congenital diseases after birth. Alcohol contains alcohol, which is toxic to human brain, liver and heart. It can enter the fetus through the placenta, making the baby mentally retarded, with a special face and short stature after birth, which can lead to mental retardation in severe cases.

Third, it is not advisable to be jealous.

About half a month before pregnancy, a large number of acidic foods will reduce the alkalinity in the body, thus causing fatigue and weakness. Long-term acidic constitution not only makes the mother suffer from some diseases, but also affects the normal growth and development of the fetus, and even leads to fetal malformation.

Fourth, it is not advisable to eat more hawthorn.

Modern medical research has confirmed that hawthorn has contractive effect on female uterus. If pregnant women eat hawthorn and its products in large quantities, it will stimulate uterine contraction and seriously lead to abortion.

Fifth, it is not advisable to eat spicy condiments.

After pregnancy, eating fennel, aniseed, pepper, cinnamon, pepper, spiced powder and other spicy condiments, as well as fried and fried spicy foods, is easy to consume intestinal water, reduce the secretion of gastrointestinal glands and cause constipation. After constipation occurs, pregnant women forcibly defecate, increase abdominal pressure, and oppress the fetus in the uterus, which is easy to cause adverse consequences such as restless fetal movement, abnormal fetal development, premature rupture of amniotic fluid, spontaneous abortion and premature delivery.

Six, should not be too much contact with detergent.

Chemical components such as linear alkyl iodate and alcohol in detergent will destroy and lead to degeneration and necrosis of fertilized eggs. Especially in the early pregnancy, if you are exposed to various detergents (washing powder, shampoo, detergent, etc.). ) too much, those chemicals will be absorbed by the skin and accumulated in the body, which will denature the outer cells of fertilized eggs and lead to abortion.
