Tea polyphenols in tea, caffeine in coffee and cola can all have adverse effects on the fetus through the placenta. If pregnant women catch a cold, simply using ginger to boil soup has the effect of dispelling cold and relieving exterior syndrome, which is very effective for patients with cold and pregnant women to drink ginger soup. In addition, ginger can also promote the development of fetal brain cells. Ginger contains a lot of gingerol, which has the effect of stopping vomiting, so it has a certain effect on vomiting in early pregnancy. Pregnant women can drink ginger soup in the case of a cold, but it is best not to drink cola ginger soup. "
