In Chinese culinary culture, chicken is a major character, and it is often served at family banquets or weddings. However, there are many types of chicken, the simplest of which is roosters and hens. Some pregnant women like to eat roosters to supplement their nutrition. Can pregnant women who want to protect their pregnancy eat their husband's chicken?
Eating chicken during pregnancy is very good for protecting the fetus, as it can warm the middle and invigorate qi, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and provide pregnant women with a large amount of nutrients. Pregnant women are physically weak and in need of nutrition and nourishment, so it is recommended to eat the husband's chicken to maintain pregnancy. However, roosters are positive organisms with strong warming and nourishing effects, and are not suitable for pregnant women with dry and hot constitution to avoid causing excessive internal heat.
Compared to the husband chicken, the nourishing effect of hen meat is slower but more stable, making it more suitable for pregnant and postpartum women to consume. Moreover, mother chicken meat has a mild nature and will not cause internal heat. If pregnant women have a dry and hot constitution, it is recommended to eat mother chicken meat to protect the fetus. When stewing hens, it is important to ensure the original flavor and avoid adding too many seasonings.
Eating some nourishing foods to protect the fetus is certainly good, but for pregnant women who are at risk of miscarriage, relying solely on dietary therapy to protect the fetus is not enough. They also need to take some pregnancy protection drugs. Pregnancy preserving drugs are developed for pregnant women's physical condition and will not have any impact on the health of the fetus. Therefore, pregnant women who need to preserve their pregnancy should not blindly refuse medication.
