As a first-time pregnant mother, I am not sure how to eat my diet, especially some expectant mothers like to eat cold and spicy foods, which are not good for both the expectant mother and the fetus. Not paying attention to them can easily lead to miscarriage. So, what things are prone to miscarriage? Let's take a look together below.
What is prone to miscarriage?
1. Hot foods such as chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, and fennel are harmful to the intestines of pregnant women, as they can cause a decrease in gastric gland secretion and even lead to stomach pain and constipation. When a pregnant woman defecates too forcefully, it can compress the uterus, leading to miscarriage.
2. Stimulating and stimulating foods: Similar to beverages such as coffee, pregnant women who consume large amounts of them are likely to experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and increased heart rate. In addition, the caffeine in coffee can also enter the baby's body through the placenta, causing problems with fetal development. Moreover, the caffeine in tea is not conducive to the health of pregnant women and fetuses.
What are the early symptoms of miscarriage?
1. Threatened miscarriage: First, there is a small amount of vaginal bleeding, usually dark red or bloody vaginal discharge, followed by paroxysmal lower abdominal pain or lower back pain. Gynecological examination shows that the cervix is not open, the membranes are not ruptured, pregnancy products are not expelled, the size of the uterus matches the number of weeks of amenorrhea, and there is hope for the pregnancy to continue. After rest and treatment, if the bleeding stops and the lower abdominal pain disappears, the pregnancy can continue; If there is an increase in vaginal bleeding or worsening lower abdominal pain, it may develop into difficult to avoid abortion.
2. Inevitable miscarriage: Refers to the inevitability of miscarriage. Originating from threatened miscarriage, there is an increase in vaginal bleeding, worsening of paroxysmal lower abdominal pain, or vaginal discharge (rupture of membranes). Gynecological examination shows that the cervical opening has dilated, and sometimes embryonic tissue or gestational sac can be seen blocked in the cervical opening. The size of the uterus is consistent with or slightly smaller than the number of weeks of amenorrhea.
This article introduces the foods that expectant mothers should avoid during pregnancy, as well as the early symptoms of miscarriage. As a expectant mother, it is important to pay attention to a balanced diet and eat more nutritious foods to supplement fetal development. Walking outdoors and listening to soothing music are all beneficial for fetal development and can assist expectant mothers in natural childbirth.
