So, how to avoid consuming foods that affect fetal development?
1. Pregnant women who are addicted to alcohol should not drink alcohol in the first trimester. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, for some pregnant women who can increase their appetite and fall asleep faster by drinking less alcohol, they can only drink a small glass of fruit wine at a time. Pregnant women with drinking habits can eat more fruits in the early stages of pregnancy or mash fresh fruits into juice and add a small amount of warm water to take it. This can not only avoid drinking alcohol, but also increase the supply of vitamins in the body. Pregnant women should try to avoid drinking alcohol and eating alcoholic foods such as alcoholic chocolate and fermented rice during pregnancy.
2. Pregnant women who like to drink coffee should not drink coffee in the early stages of pregnancy. During the second and third trimester of pregnancy, the amount of coffee you should drink every day should be limited to one cup.
3. Pregnant women who like to drink strong tea should not drink strong tea during pregnancy. You can drink red bean soup, mung bean soup, and lily soup. Use these nutritious soups instead of strong tea. Because strong tea will affect the absorption and utilization of iron by the intestinal mucosa, it will eventually lead to anemia in pregnant women and affect the growth and development of the fetus.
4. Pregnant women who are busy at work and like to buy ready-made food outside should pay attention to the quality of the food and choose food that is recently produced, fresh in appearance, free of collisions, cracks, and free of pigments and preservatives. Do not choose pickled and smoked products, such as bacon, smoked fish and other foods. Because eating poor quality food can cause food poisoning, and eating food with high nitrosamine content can easily cause fetal malformations.
