Can pregnant women eat hot and sour powder in the early stage?
It is not recommended that patients eat hot and sour powder in the first trimester. First of all, hot and sour powder itself is an unhealthy food, which is a stimulus to the stomach. When the level of chorionic gonadotropin rises in the first trimester of pregnancy, there are nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal dysfunction. If you eat food that irritates your stomach again, it may aggravate this reaction and cause more serious nausea and vomiting. Secondly, the pepper in hot and sour powder has the function of promoting qi and blood circulation. Eating spicy food in early pregnancy may cause threatened abortion such as abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. In particular, patients who have had threatened abortion such as vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain should never eat hot and sour powder. It is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables and light food in the first trimester.
