Because pumpkin seedlings are rich in dietary fiber, they can absorb some water in the intestine, keep the stool unobstructed, and promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. For pregnant women, the increase of progesterone level will slow down the intestinal peristalsis and make it easy to flatulence, which will have a good effect. Pumpkin seedlings will also have some effects of clearing away lung heat, which can have a little effect on constipation such as mild cough or tonsillitis during pregnancy.

Pumpkin seedlings are slightly cold and can enter the liver meridian, which may also have a certain effect on mild hypertension. Therefore, pregnant women can eat a small amount of pumpkin seedlings, but they should also pay attention to a variety of ingredients to ensure the nutritional balance of pregnant women, not only to ensure the full nutritional absorption of protein, fat and carbohydrates, but also to ensure the absorption of appropriate vitamins, trace elements and minerals.
