Early pregnancy is quite special throughout the entire pregnancy period, as the fetus is not yet stable in the uterus and is prone to spontaneous miscarriage. Therefore, many aspects need to be taken into account. For example, in the early stages of pregnancy, one needs to pay more attention to their diet. So, what should I not eat in the early stages of pregnancy? Next, we will introduce some foods that are not suitable for pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy.
1. Crab
Pregnant women should avoid or consume less crab. Crabs have a delicious taste, but their nature is cold. Eating too much at once can also have adverse effects on the body for ordinary people. Pregnant women should eat crabs in moderation. It is recommended that pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy avoid eating crabs as much as possible; If it is a pregnant woman in the middle and late stages, it is best not to eat it. Even if you eat it, you should eat less and not eat crab feet.
2. Coix seed
Pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy should eat Job's tears depending on their physical condition. In some medical literature, it is recorded that Job's tears may have adverse effects on pregnant women: "Practical Traditional Chinese Medicine" lists Job's tears as a food that should be avoided and may harm the fetus; The "Compendium of Materia Medica" lists it as "prohibited for pregnant women"; In the "Treatise on Diseases of Time", it is recorded that "the locust flowers in clear soup, the ginger and osmanthus to remove coldness, and the rice kernels to remove dampness... are all products that can harm the fetus and are most prone to accidental ingestion. Medical practitioners must respect them all. Although there have been no reports of miscarriage caused by pregnant women consuming coix seed, for safety reasons, it is best for pregnant women to consult a doctor and consume coix seed in moderation.
3. Coffee and Tea
Early pregnancy should avoid coffee and tea. Caffeine containing foods have an excitatory effect, and excessive consumption can stimulate increased fetal movement and even affect growth and development. Studies have shown that pregnant women who drink 5 cups of black tea a day can reduce fetal weight, and the tannic acid in tea can combine with iron in food to form an unabsorbed compound, which is not conducive to the mother's absorption of iron and affects hematopoietic function.
What should I not eat during the early stages of pregnancy? Many foods are not suitable for consumption during the early stages of pregnancy, such as crabs, Job's tears, coffee, and tea mentioned above. It is recommended that pregnant women eat less and preferably not eat them to avoid increasing the risk of miscarriage. In addition, do not do heavy physical work and high-intensity exercise in the early stages of pregnancy to avoid accidents.
