The food we eat every day, although seemingly innocent or not very harmful, during pregnancy may turn out to be a serious mistake that you should avoid for the sake of your own well-being and the health of the baby.
When there is an appetite for expressive or, what is more, sweet flavors, it is worth delving into the composition to avoid negative consequences and look for a safe and equally delicious alternative for yourself and your developing baby.
Beware of these products!
- Some people love them, while others arouse disgust… Fans of blue cheese and oscypek have to part with their delicacy for a few months. These products come from unpasteurized milk, which can cause listeria infections. Expectant mothers are XNUMX times more likely to become infected. As it seems, a trivial cause can be the cause of such great misfortunes as premature birth or even miscarriage.
- Ice cream and cookies are real bombs of simple sugars. In addition to excessive weight gain, they can cause food poisoning, gestational diabetes and recurrent vaginitis.
- Peanuts eaten during pregnancy increase the likelihood of allergies in the baby.
- Salt consumed in too large amounts contributes to the formation of swelling of the face, arms and legs. If swelling often bothers you, be sure to give up chips, crackers, herrings, cold meats and canned food.
- Artificially colored carbonated drinks are also dangerous. They do not reduce thirst, there is no benefit from them, they provide excess sugar, and if they contain caffeine, they raise blood pressure.
- Strong coffee is also responsible for pressure jumps. In addition, it flushes out the necessary nutrients from the body. Keep in mind that the sluggishness that overwhelms you at this time is accompanied by the effects of hormones, and caffeine will not help in any way.
- Herbs, although natural on pregnant ladies, can have too strong an effect and should be avoided, regardless of whether you are dealing with mixtures that tell you nothing or infusions already used outside of pregnancy. Hops, savory, rosemary and the famous ginseng are harmful to the fetus. Congestion of organs located in the pelvic region or dehydration is sometimes caused by aloe juice and buckthorn.
- To avoid exposing yourself and your baby to salmonella infection, beware of kogel-mogla, cakes and cakes with cream, which are based on raw eggs. Sometimes the shells crack during cooking, so to protect yourself from germs, wash your eggs before putting them on the gas.
