We may hear elders at home telling pregnant women to eat more, as there are two people in their stomachs now and they need to consume more nutrients. Indeed, pregnant mothers do need to consume more nutrients for the growth of their fetus and their own energy expenditure. However, there are some foods that pregnant women cannot eat, which can easily cause miscarriage. Let's take a look at these foods below.
1. Crab: It has a delicious taste, but its nature is cold and has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, so it is not good for pregnant women, especially crab claws, which have a significant abortion effect;
2. Turtle: Although it has the effect of nourishing yin and benefiting kidneys, turtle has a salty and cold nature, and has a strong effect on promoting blood circulation and dispersing blood stasis. Therefore, it has certain abortion disadvantages, especially the abortion power of turtle shell is stronger than that of turtle meat;
3. Coix seed: It is a medicinal and edible substance that is believed to have a smooth texture in traditional Chinese medicine. Pharmacological experiments have shown that Job's tears have an excitatory effect on uterine smooth muscle, which can promote uterine contractions and thus have the potential to induce miscarriage;
4. Purslane: It is both a herb and a vegetable, with cold and smooth medicinal properties. Experimental results have shown that purslane juice has a significant excitatory effect on the uterus, which can increase the frequency and intensity of uterine contractions, and easily cause miscarriage.
5. Aloe vera: Pregnant women who consume aloe vera juice may experience pelvic bleeding and even miscarriage. For postpartum women, mixing aloe vera ingredients into breast milk can stimulate the child and cause diarrhea. Aloe vera itself contains certain toxins, with a toxic dose of 9-15 grams. People may generally experience toxic reactions such as nausea, vomiting, severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, and hemorrhagic gastritis within 8-12 hours after consumption.
The above are 5 foods that can easily cause miscarriage for pregnant women. It is best not to eat them during pregnancy to avoid irreversible consequences for the fetus. If you really like to eat, it is recommended to consult a doctor, and also to control the amount. Do not eat too much, wait until you want to eat in the future.
