There are many kinds of fruits in our country, and almost every month there are seasonal fruits on the market. Different fruits have different nutrients and different effects. Fruit is very beneficial to the health of pregnant women and is very popular among pregnant moms. So, what kind of fruit should pregnant women eat during pregnancy? It is suggested that pregnant women should choose suitable fruits to eat according to different stages of pregnancy.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that most women will have yin and blood deficiency and internal heat after pregnancy, so the concept of "prenatal cooling" is put forward. In the first trimester, pregnant mommy had better not eat warm or hot fruits. For example, imported fruits like longan, litchi or tropical fruits are all hot, and it is easy for pregnant mothers to "add fire to the fire" after eating them. It is better to eat more neutral fruits such as apples, peaches, apricots, pineapples and ebony. Not only hot fruits should be eaten less, but also cold fruits such as watermelon, grapefruit and orange should be eaten selectively. Watermelon has a diuretic effect, and some pregnant moms use it to reduce edema, but they didn't expect that eating too much can easily cause diarrhea and dehydration.
By the second trimester, pregnant mommy has a big appetite, and the baby is growing rapidly and needs more nutrients. At this stage, pregnant mommy can eat strawberries, kiwis, grapes, American raisins, loquats, lemons, loquats, apples and other fruits to supplement vitamins and folic acid.
In the third trimester, pregnant mommy can eat more vitamins such as kiwi fruit. Pregnant mommy with a hot constitution had better eat less oranges, so as to avoid the ingredients in oranges leading to more pigmentation of the human body, which is not good for the skin. Oranges have a high vitamin content, so pregnant moms can eat more appropriately.
Fruit is delicious and attractive, and it is a healthy food popular with women. Fruits are rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, and their effects are different. For example, some fruits can cool down and prevent heatstroke and protect the liver, some fruits can prevent constipation and relieve fatigue, while some fruits may cause pregnant women to get angry and even stimulate the uterus. Strictly speaking, pregnant women don't have any fruits that they can't eat. They just need to pay attention to some fruits that need to be eaten as little as possible during pregnancy, or they need to pay attention to how to eat. Pregnant women should have a care in their hearts. What fruits should pregnant women eat carefully?
1, pregnant women should eat hawthorn carefully. Many pregnant women like to eat sour and sweet food after pregnancy, and sometimes they want to eat hawthorn. But pregnant women should be careful to eat hawthorn, because hawthorn can cause uterine contraction, especially for pregnant women with habitual abortion, spontaneous abortion and threatened abortion, it is best not to eat hawthorn. In addition, if a healthy pregnant woman accidentally eats hawthorn, there is no problem if the amount is small. If the amount is large, it is best to see a doctor to check her body to avoid accidents.
2. Pregnant women should eat longan carefully. Longan is a kind of nutritious fruit. Li Shizhen once recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Litchi is the most expensive food, while longan is the best resource", which shows the high nutritional value of longan. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, although longan has the effect of preventing miscarriage in theory, after pregnancy, most women are deficient in yin and blood, and yin deficiency leads to internal heat. Traditional Chinese medicine advocates that the fetus should be cool before birth, but longan is hot. Therefore, in order to avoid possible accidents, pregnant women should eat longan carefully.
After pregnancy, pregnant mommy can't take medicine at will. If she feels unwell, she can relieve the symptoms through diet therapy. There are many fruits that can play the role of this diet therapy. What fruit should I eat if I feel unwell during pregnancy?

In addition to pears, pregnant women can also eat pitaya, watermelon, strawberries, etc. when they get angry.

What can't you eat when you are pregnant? As a special group, pregnant women should not only pay attention to strengthening nutrition and eating nutritious food in moderation, but also pay great attention to dietary structure, cooking, food hygiene and food selection. If they do not pay attention to balanced nutrition during pregnancy, not only will the fetus be stunted, but the mother will be weaker after delivery. To increase nutrition is not to eat more, but to pay attention to balanced nutrition in food. Pregnant women should pay attention to the following foods during pregnancy:
1, alcohol: alcohol is an important factor leading to fetal malformation and mental retardation. Pregnant women should not drink alcohol during pregnancy, and it is best not to eat drinks and food containing alcohol.
2, too much sugar: the metabolism of sugar in the human body will consume a lot of calcium, and the lack of calcium during pregnancy will easily affect the development of fetal teeth and bones. Sugar is not a basic nutrient, and excessive intake of sugar will make pregnant women overweight.
3, monosodium glutamate: the ingredient of monosodium glutamate is sodium glutamate, eating too much can affect the absorption of zinc, which is not conducive to the development of fetal nervous system.
4. Pickled food: Although this kind of food is delicious, it contains nitrite, phenylpropyl pyrene, etc., which is very harmful to the body.
5. Caffeine-containing foods: Pregnant women should not drink too much coffee, tea and other caffeinated drinks and foods. Caffeine, as a substance that can affect the physiological changes of women, can change the proportion of estrogen and progesterone in women to a certain extent, thus indirectly affecting the implantation and development of fertilized eggs in the uterus.
6. All kinds of "polluted" foods: fresh natural foods should be selected as far as possible, and foods and cooked foods containing food additives, pigments and preservatives should be avoided. Fruits should be washed before eating pregnant foods to avoid pesticide residues.
