After pregnancy, a pregnant woman's appetite will undergo significant changes, and some things she didn't like to eat before may become enjoyable after pregnancy. Nowadays, the weather is hot, and many pregnant women can't help but want to eat cool food. However, eating cold food can affect their digestive system and be harmful to their health. So, what should pregnant women do if they want to drink some ice during pregnancy?
After pregnancy, the body temperature of pregnant women will increase slightly, coupled with the accelerated metabolism of the body, the progesterone in the body will rise, and the hot weather will cause some pregnant women to crave cool food. So pregnant women can consume cold food appropriately during pregnancy, but after taking out the cold food from the refrigerator, it is best to leave it for a period of time to ensure that the temperature of the cold food is not low before eating.
Moreover, pregnant women can put the food they want to eat into a bowl and soak it in ice water to lower its temperature before consuming it. As long as pregnant women do not consume cold or frozen food for a long time, it generally does not stimulate gastrointestinal health and is not likely to cause uterine contractions, leading to fetal miscarriage. In short, pregnant women should control the temperature of the food they eat.
In addition, pregnant women should rest well during pregnancy. Even if the weather is hot, they should not stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time, otherwise it will affect their physical health. Moreover, when the weather is hot, it is best not to exercise outdoors to avoid heatstroke. Pregnant women should drink plenty of water to promote blood circulation and metabolism, and maintain normal pregnancy.
