Palace dramas have become very popular in recent years, but you may not know that many pregnancy knowledge in TV dramas are wrong. Do not make your own decisions and consult relevant doctors. So what are the misunderstandings about palace pregnancy pills? How to scientifically protect your pregnancy? What to eat to protect your baby?

Misunderstandings about Palace Pregnancy Medicine

Danzhu Ye Fetus: Plot Review: At the beginning of "The Legend of Miyue", Empress Wei was worried that Xiang would give birth to a "little domineering star" and wanted to use Danzhu Fortunately, Ju Ji recognized it as "Light bamboo leaves, sweet in nature, slightly cold, usually taken to clear away heat and diuretic, but when pregnant women take it, it has the effect of aborting and inducing miscarriage. It also has a name, broken bones." The bones can be broken, and the ferocity of the fetus is said. "Fortunately, she was discovered by Ju Ji and was able to save Mi Yue, otherwise this TV series might have ended at the beginning.

Expert explanation: Dr. Chen introduced: Light bamboo leaves have the effects of clearing away heat, purging fire, removing irritability, diuresis and treating stranguria. It is mainly used for red and yellow urine and sores on the mouth and tongue. Often sold in pharmacies. Light bamboo leaves are cold in nature and have a heat-clearing effect. You can use it to relieve symptoms of thirst, toothache, and acne on the face. Because the leaves of Dianzhu are relatively cold, Chinese medicine recommends that pregnant women and those with cold and weak bodies should try not to take them. However, it is obviously unscientific to describe this as a "pregnancy medicine" in the TV series.

Musk causes infertility: In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Zhen Huan was scratched by a cat when she was pregnant for the first time. An Lingrong gave her a box of Shuhen glue mixed with musk. After using it for a period of time, Zhen Huan became pregnant. Aborted at 5 months of pregnancy. Concubine Hua has been infertile because the emperor gave her Huanyi incense, which contains musk. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that musk has the effects of rejuvenating the mind, activating blood circulation and promoting menstruation, and can be used to treat symptoms such as blood stasis, amenorrhea, wind-cold-dampness and other symptoms. Natural musk has strong medicinal properties and can be used to induce labor and give birth. But now almost all the musk that we can come into contact with in our daily life is artificial musk, and it is not that you will immediately miscarry after smelling it.

Can musk cause infertility? This statement is not reliable. So far, no research has shown that musk can affect women's pregnancy. On the contrary, for those who have infertility caused by blocked meridians and menstrual disorders due to qi stagnation and blood stasis, musk can also treat infertility by regulating menstruation.

Safflower can sterilize: In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Concubine Duan was force-fed a bowl of safflower soup by Concubine Hua, resulting in lifelong sterility. Experts say that safflower has the effects of activating blood circulation, promoting menstruation, removing blood stasis and relieving pain, and can treat diseases caused by qi stagnation, blood stasis, and blocked meridians, such as abdominal pain and joint pain. If infertility is caused by blocked fallopian tubes, safflower is used clinically to activate blood circulation and remove blood clots. In this case, drinking safflower soup will not cause infertility, but will help with pregnancy.

Compared with safflower, saffron can cause the uterus to excite and contract. For pregnant women, there is a real risk of miscarriage, and the use of saffron during pregnancy is contraindicated. But whether it’s safflower or saffron, in the TV series, a bowl of saffron can sterilize people, which is an exaggerated description.

Five Elements Grass causes the fetus to slip: In "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang", the opening chapter brings the first wave of palace fighting climax - Concubine Wei uses "Five Elements Grass" to cause Concubine Xian to slip several times, which ultimately leads to the inability to conceive again. .

Expert analysis shows that Five Elements Grass, also known as purslane or purslane, is a medicinal and edible plant. The whole plant is used for medicinal purposes. It has the effects of clearing away heat and dampness, detoxifying and reducing swelling, reducing inflammation, quenching thirst, and diuresis. The seeds can also improve eyesight. Experts point out that eating purslane cannot induce abortion. There are many causes of spontaneous abortion in medicine, but none of them are caused by what food you eat.

Fumigated moxa can protect the fetus: In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", An Lingrong showed signs of miscarriage. After the diagnosis, the imperial doctor suggested that she add moxa leaves to the medicine and smoke moxa in the room to stop bleeding and protect the fetus. Experts say that if it is a miscarriage caused by deficiency and cold, mugwort leaves do have a certain effect in protecting the fetus. But not all people can take mugwort leaves. For example, people with heat in the body cannot use mugwort leaves to stop bleeding. There are many reasons for miscarriage, which need to be treated according to individual circumstances. If there are signs of threatened miscarriage, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, instead of randomly choosing to smoke mugwort leaves to protect your pregnancy.

How to scientifically protect pregnancy

General treatment: bed rest, prohibiting sexual life, and reducing unnecessary vaginal examinations.

Psychiatric therapy: Provide mental encouragement to pregnant mothers to stabilize their mood and enhance their confidence.

Medical miscarriage: Appropriate oral sedatives, such as luminal and chlordiazepoxide; for those with insufficient luteal function, daily injection of progesterone 20mg; secondly, vitamin E and thyroxine powder (suitable for thyroid Those with low function), traditional Chinese medicine can also be used to protect the fetus.

Pregnancy protection period: In principle, the fetal protection period is 2 weeks. If the symptoms do not improve after 2 weeks, it indicates that the embryo may have abnormal development. B-type ultrasound examination and β-HCG measurement are required to determine the status of the embryo and provide treatment. Handle accordingly.

The best vegetables for pregnancy protection: Spinach is rich in folic acid. The folic acid content of spinach is as high as 350 micrograms per 100 grams, ranking first among vegetables. The greatest function of folic acid is to protect the fetus from neurological malformations such as hydrocephalus, myeloschisis, and anencephaly. Therefore, experts suggest that you should eat more spinach or take folic acid tablets in the early two months. At the same time, the large amount of B vitamins in spinach can also prevent common pregnancy complications such as pelvic infection, mental depression, and insomnia in pregnant women.

Best snacks: Pregnant women can expand the supply of nutrients by eating snacks in addition to meals. It is recommended to eat some melon seeds, such as watermelon seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. Sunflower seeds are rich in vitamin E, and watermelon seeds contain more linoleic acid, which can promote fetal brain development.

The advantage of pumpkin seeds is that they are comprehensive in nutrition, including fat, carbohydrate, protein, calcium, iron, phosphorus, vitamins B1, B2, carotene, nicotinic acid, etc., and the proportion of nutrients is balanced, which is conducive to the absorption and utilization of the human body.

Best anti-vomiting foods: Morning sickness is one of the most uncomfortable and common reactions of pregnant women, causing considerable pain to pregnant women. Choosing food that suits the taste of pregnant women has a good anti-vomiting effect. Nutritionists believe that lemons and potatoes contain a variety of vitamins and are particularly suitable for pregnant women.

Best Sour Foods:

Pregnant women are often interested in sour foods, and there are indeed benefits to pregnant women eating sour foods. After a woman becomes pregnant, the placenta secretes a type of chorionic gonadotropin, which inhibits the secretion of gastric acid, leading to a reduction in the activity of digestive enzymes, weakening the appetite of pregnant women and declining digestive function. Therefore, eating acid is undoubtedly a remedy for this reaction.
