When a woman is pregnant, her physical condition is also very important for the growth and development of the baby, and because it is easily affected by external factors during pregnancy, some pregnant women may experience diarrhea. So what should a 20 week pregnant woman do if she has diarrhea?
Firstly, if a pregnant woman experiences diarrhea, it is necessary to replenish fluids appropriately, mainly to replenish the lost water and electrolytes due to diarrhea, and to replenish calories. At the same time, it is necessary to observe whether the condition of the fetus is good and whether there are signs of premature birth or miscarriage.
Secondly, pregnant women must pay special attention to medication as it can have a significant impact on the baby and may lead to deformities. Therefore, it is essential to use medication under the advice and care of a doctor.
So what foods should pregnant women eat for diarrhea?
Firstly, eat fruits. If pregnant women have diarrhea, they can eat some fruits for adjuvant treatment, but not all fruits can be eaten, such as pears, watermelons, bananas, which are not allowed to be eaten.
Second, drink Congee. Because the stomach may be uncomfortable when you have diarrhea, you can eat some white porridge with salt to ease the burden on your stomach.
Thirdly, eat noodles. If pregnant women do not want to eat Congee or other food, pasta is a good choice, which is relatively easy to digest, and relatively rich in nutrition.
