Nowadays, many people like to eat spicy food, such as hotpot, Sichuan cuisine, etc., which are very popular. When women are pregnant with a baby, they should pay special attention to their daily diet. There are many times when they eat well and cannot be consumed during pregnancy. So, will eating spicy food affect fetal movement in pregnant women?
If pregnant women eat spicy food, it may affect fetal movement. Because eating spicy food can stimulate blood circulation and the fetus, it is easy to increase fetal movement. Pregnant women are advised not to eat spicy food, as it can also stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and increase the likelihood of developing gastrointestinal diseases such as gastric ulcers and gastritis.
Frequent consumption of spicy food by pregnant women can also have adverse effects on the baby, such as causing fetal instability and even leading to symptoms of threatened miscarriage such as abdominal pain and bleeding. Pregnant women with lower back pain who eat spicy food for a long time are not only prone to acne, dampness, eczema, and skin itching, but may also cause problems such as constipation and hemorrhoids.
Pregnant women should pay attention to fetal movement and take time every day to count fetal movements, which can detect abnormalities as early as possible. If there is excessive or insufficient fetal movement due to lumbar soreness, one should be vigilant and seek medical examination in a timely manner, as this may be caused by fetal hypoxia. If ignored, it is easy for the fetus to experience intrauterine asphyxia due to lack of oxygen, and even cause fetal death.
