Fruits are a very common food that people come into contact with in their daily lives, which can help supplement vitamins. I believe no one will be unfamiliar with them. However, although fruits are helpful for the human body, they cannot replace staple foods, especially during pregnancy, one should not only eat fruits without other foods. So, will the fetus grow bigger if pregnant women eat too much fruit?
During pregnancy, some women turn to eating fruits or try to promote fetal growth and development by eating fruits because they cannot eat. Although it is possible to eat fruits appropriately during pregnancy, consuming a large amount of sweet fruits can easily lead to fetal growth. Because the vast majority of fruits contain a relatively high amount of sugar, consuming a large amount of fruits can easily increase women's blood sugar levels. Blood sugar can enter the fetus through the placenta, which can easily cause excessive fetal proliferation, leading to macrosomia or excessive fat accumulation, which can easily cause the fetus to become larger.
In serious cases, the fetus will be 2-3 weeks larger than the normal gestational week. This kind of fetal enlargement is a pathological enlargement, which is not only harmful to the fetus, but will cause harm to the fetus, which will lead to an increased probability of diabetes and coronary heart disease in the newborn, and in serious cases, it can lead to fetal death in utero.
So pregnant women should eat fruits in moderation and pay attention to balanced nutrition. In addition to fruits, they should also eat rich meat and various fresh fruits and vegetables. Only with a scientific diet and appropriate exercise can healthy babies be born.
