From the beginning of pregnancy, my cousin's family started a war to protect the fetus. I can't help it, but my cousin is thirty-eight now and has reached the age of an older woman. After the opening of the second child policy a few years ago, she has only hesitated since she was 33, and she still wants to have a second child. But her physical function is not as good as that of five years ago, and she can't take care of many aspects.

Here's a digression, but anyone who has the idea of having a second child, it's best to give birth early, and the later the more trouble.

In order to protect the fetus, my cousin is full of tricks, just like a queen mother. No, I had another quarrel with my brother-in-law two days ago, saying that I wanted to eat bird's nest, preferably blood swallow. I heard my eyes turn to the sky and immediately vomited that she had too much money to burn. Cousin disagreed, saying that bird's nest is a sacred product, which is said in Chinese medicine.

Although I don't know where she heard the rumor and turned to Chinese medicine, the clarification here still needs to be done. According to my investigation, it has never been said that bird's nest is sacred in the code of traditional Chinese medicine, or even that bird's nest is suitable for pregnant women. Ancient books only record that the function of bird's nest is nothing more than moistening throat and clearing lung.

What's more, the bird's nest market is mixed, and no one can guarantee that the bird's nest eaten by pregnant mothers is a quality product. If it is collected from cliffs and rocks, it may be doped with substances or trace elements harmful to the body, which will cause harm to the mother and even the fetus. This not only failed to protect the fetus, but also wasted a lot of money, which was not worth the loss.

According to the doctor's explanation, the nutritional value of bird's nest is not much different from that of eggs. It is better to eat boiled eggs on time than to spend a lot of money on bird's nest. Of course, pregnant mothers who have already bought bird's nest should eat well and don't waste it.

After listening to my explanation, my cousin finally gave up the idea of eating bird's nest and began to search for other supplements, which made me really helpless. In order to avoid blind tonic, the main supplier of nutrition during pregnancy here is food, which is much stronger than tonic.

Seasonal fruit: pay attention to discretion

Now that summer is here, the variety of seasonal fruits has greatly increased. For pregnant mothers, fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in dietary fiber, which is good for constipation during pregnancy. Only when choosing categories, we should pay attention to warm fruits and eat less cold fruits so as not to affect the health of the fetus.

Of course, pregnant mothers who like to eat fruit should also eat in moderation. After all, fruit contains sugar. Eating too much is not good for your health, and it will also affect your balanced diet.

Meat: Fish is the best.

Take my best friend as an example. She doesn't like meat after pregnancy, and her daily diet is mainly fruits and vegetables, which is very unfavorable to the health of the fetus. In order to balance her vegetarian diet, the family began to consider replacing other kinds of meat with fish, mainly steamed, and her girlfriend really had a big appetite.

Therefore, it is suggested that pregnant mothers who reject meat because of pregnancy can consider cooking fish by steaming. It is tender and delicious, and it melts in the mouth. The most important thing is that it is rich in nutritional value, but it must be cooked thoroughly.
