Pregnant women can drink brown sugar water in moderation, because many pregnant women have symptoms of anemia in the middle and late stages, and brown sugar has the effective effect of enriching blood and invigorating qi. If you choose to drink brown sugar, you can use it with ginger, and the effect of brown sugar will be better. The selection of brown sugar can also be used for soaking water, or adding some snacks is also possible.
When drinking brown sugar water, pregnant women should pay special attention not to drink too much. Because brown sugar has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis to promote uterine contraction, if it is drunk unreasonably in the early pregnancy, it is likely to aggravate uterine contraction and even cause abortion. Therefore, pregnant women who drink a lot of brown sugar for a long time are at risk of miscarriage.
In addition, pregnant women with gestational diabetes can't drink brown sugar water, because 95% of brown sugar is soft candy, with a particularly high sugar content. If pregnant women with gestational diabetes drink brown sugar water, it is very likely to aggravate the condition, and once gestational diabetes intensifies, it is likely to cause the baby's deformity, and gestational diabetes is also likely to become a safety hazard for pregnant women with diabetes in the future. Therefore, in order to better prevent gestational diabetes caused by hyperglycemia, pregnant women should take brown sugar water carefully.
Finally, pregnant women who are overweight or obese during pregnancy should not drink brown sugar water. Because unnecessary sugar in brown sugar water is easy to turn into human fat, pregnant women are more likely to gain weight, which will make the baby become a giant fetus. This will not only make pregnant women have the risk of premature delivery, but also make the baby go into shock, seriously endangering the personal safety of maternal and child supplies.
For the sake of better children's safety and health, I still don't recommend drinking brown sugar water during pregnancy, but you can drink brown sugar water after delivery, mainly because brown sugar water has the effects of replenishing qi and blood, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, supplementing kinetic energy for pregnant women, promoting uterine contraction and postpartum lochia, which is conducive to the recovery of pregnant women as soon as possible. However, it should be noted that drinking brown sugar water after giving birth or manipulating the amount of drinking will not pay off.
