Bitter gourd is a cool food, so pregnant women with stomach deficiency and cold should try not to eat bitter gourd. Bitter gourd contains quinine, which can stimulate uterine contraction. Therefore, it is better for pregnant women with early pregnancy or unstable fetus not to eat bitter gourd, or eat less. We must pay attention to scientific nutrition collocation and reasonable diet. Of course, you can also choose other foods such as white radish.

Pay attention to the diet in the second trimester of pregnancy:

1, the diet should be rich in calcium

Calcium is an important component to form bones and teeth, help muscle contraction and maintain blood function, and it needs to be taken in large quantities in the second trimester. Sardines and dried fish are important sources of calcium, but choose foods with less salt. Dairy products, green vegetables, eggs, almonds and sesame seeds are all rich in calcium. If high-calcium food is eaten with beef, pork and chicken, it can improve the absorption rate.

2, full intake of iron

Intake of iron can prevent anemia. Foods rich in iron include red meat and animal liver. If iron food is taken together with vitamin C, the absorption rate will be higher, because vitamin C can promote iron absorption in human body. On the contrary, black tea, coffee and other drinks contain caffeine, which will hinder the absorption of iron in the body. Pregnant mommy can't drink these drinks before eating 1 hour.

3. Eat foods rich in cellulose

Eating more foods rich in cellulose can effectively prevent constipation, but it is necessary to eat moderately to avoid affecting the absorption rate of calcium and iron. In order to get enough cellulose, pregnant women can use miscellaneous grains rice instead of white rice, vegetable soup instead of broth or chicken soup, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat more than two kinds of vegetables every meal, and eat more than one kind of seaweed food such as kelp, seaweed, kelp and laver every day.
