Ice cream is everyone's favorite food in summer, it can relieve heat and cool down. Eating an ice cream is very refreshing in the hot summer. During pregnancy, most women experience internal heat, so in the summer, pregnant women tend to feel restless. So, can I eat ice cream in late pregnancy?
In late pregnancy, you can eat a small amount of ice cream, but definitely not enough. If you eat too much, it is easy to experience gastrointestinal discomfort and may also cause diarrhea. In addition, eating a large amount of ice cream can also stimulate the uterus and have adverse effects on the fetus. If pregnant women have digestive problems, stomach cold and other conditions, they cannot eat ice cream.
Ice cream contains a lot of sugar, and eating too much can cause blood sugar to rise. When pregnant, women should beware of pregnancy diabetes, so they should not eat too much food with high sugar content, otherwise it will make blood sugar exceed the standard, and it is easy to cause diabetes. This not only damages the health of pregnant women, but also causes significant harm to the fetus. Therefore, it is necessary to eat ice cream in moderation during pregnancy, and it is best not to eat it.
Pregnant women who eat cold foods such as ice cream can cause blood vessels in the gastric mucosa to contract, and the intestines will accelerate peristalsis when stimulated by cold foods, which can affect the absorption of nutrients by pregnant women. Especially for pregnant women with gastrointestinal diseases, consuming ice cream can easily lead to illness.
