What should elderly pregnant women not eat1

  1. Foods containing high sugar. Older mothers have a higher risk of childbirth compared to women of appropriate age. High sugar foods can easily lead to vigorous fetal development and larger fetal volume, which increases the risk of childbirth and is not conducive to older mothers giving birth to babies. Therefore, it is recommended for elderly mothers to eat low sugar foods during pregnancy.

  2. Pickled food. Pickled foods generally contain a large amount of nitrate, which is not very nutritious. Eating too much during pregnancy is not conducive to the development of the fetus. Older mothers are advised to eat more vegetables, fruits, and fresh meat during pregnancy to achieve a balanced level of nutrition and ensure normal fetal development.

  3. Carbonated beverages and coffee, etc. Carbonated drinks and coffee are not recommended for pregnant women. Some components in coffee may cause miscarriage in the first three months of pregnancy, and the ingredients in carbonated drinks are not conducive to the healthy development of the fetus. Older mothers are advised to drink dairy beverages, purified water, and hot water, and alcohol consumption is strictly prohibited.
