What fruits can't pregnant women eat?

Pregnancy is the top priority for every family. Whether you are preparing for pregnancy or you are pregnant, you will pay attention to every detail of life. So what fruits and foods can't pregnant women eat during pregnancy? It can also be said that what pregnant women can and can't eat has become the most worrying thing for pregnant mothers, for fear that after eating the wrong things, the fetus will be affected. In summary, pregnant women should pay attention to eating less of these fruits during pregnancy:

Fruits that should not be eaten during pregnancy

(1) Longan and lychee

Although longan and lychee have the effects of calming the nerves, replenishing blood, nourishing blood and benefiting the spleen, they are too warm in nature. Not only can they not achieve the effect of stabilizing the fetus after eating them, but pregnant women are prone to symptoms of threatened abortion such as spotting and abdominal pain.

(2) Almonds

It contains the toxic substance hydrogen cyanide, which can enter the fetus through the placenta after ingestion and affect the healthy development of the fetus.

(3) Shanzha

It has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and contracting the uterus, so it is easy to cause miscarriage or premature birth after pregnant women eat it.

(4) Long-stored potatoes

The alkaloid content is high, which can affect the normal development of the fetus and cause slow fetal growth after consumption.

(5) Watermelon

Eat less watermelon because it is a diuretic and can easily cause dehydration in pregnant women.

(6) Apricots and almonds

Apricots are acidic and hot, and can cause miscarriage. Because fetal heat is high during pregnancy, the general principle of keeping food clean before delivery should be followed. The hotness of apricots and their miscarriage-inducing properties are taboos for pregnant women. Almonds contain a highly toxic substance called hydrocyanic acid, which can cause fetal suffocation and death. Therefore, pregnant women should avoid eating almonds.

(7) Peach

During pregnancy, due to changes in hormones, the body of pregnant women tends to be warm and dry. Peaches are also warm fruits. If pregnant women eat too many peaches, it will aggravate the heat, cause fetal movement and may cause miscarriage. In addition, for some people who suffer from constipation during pregnancy, eating too many peaches will aggravate the symptoms of constipation, so it is best for pregnant women to eat less peaches.

Pregnant women should avoid eating fruits:

1. Avoid using a kitchen knife to cut fruit:

Because kitchen knives often come into contact with raw meat, fish, and raw vegetables, they may bring parasites or parasite eggs to fruits.

2. Avoid eating fruit without rinsing your mouth:

Some fruits contain a variety of fermented sugars, which are highly corrosive to teeth. If you do not rinse your mouth after eating, the fruit residues in your mouth can easily cause tooth decay.

3. Avoid eating too much fruit:

It is unscientific to eat fruit as a meal. Although fruit is rich in nutrients, it is not comprehensive, especially relatively low in protein and fat, which are also essential for fetal growth and development.

4. Avoid eating fruit immediately after a meal:

Eating fruit immediately after a meal can cause bloating and constipation. Therefore, it is best to eat fruit within 2 hours after a meal or 1 hour before a meal.
