Why does a pregnant woman feel hot all over?

If a pregnant woman feels hot all over during pregnancy, it may be due to fetal fire. Fetal fire not only affects pregnant women, but also the fetus in the belly. Fetal fire does not mean that the fetus is prone to getting angry, but the condition of being hot and irritable that pregnant women show during pregnancy. If the pregnant woman herself has a hot body constitution, she should be more careful during pregnancy to avoid getting angry easily and being affected by the fetal fire all the time.

If fetal fire occurs frequently, not only the pregnant woman will be affected, but also the fetus in the belly will be affected, such as jaundice, oral ulcers, etc. after the fetus is born. Pregnant women are very prone to constipation, insomnia, acne, peeling lips, etc.

How to prevent fetal fire during pregnancy? Prevention can be carried out in the early, middle and late pregnancy.

Preventing fetal fire in early pregnancy

The period from 1 to 3 months of pregnancy is considered the early stage of pregnancy. At this time, since the menstrual period is no longer there, it is very easy to cause physiological disorders in the body and cause inflammation. At this stage, you should pay more attention to removing liver fire and nourishing the spleen and stomach, and eat more easily digestible and light dishes in terms of diet. Pregnant women can eat more of what they want to eat, which can reduce the nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite caused by early pregnancy reactions.

The second trimester of pregnancy refers to the period from 4 to 6 months. At this time, with the growth and development of the fetus, the early pregnancy reaction will also decrease, and the discomfort in early pregnancy will also weaken a lot, or there will be no discomfort. Pregnant women can properly supplement the nutritional needs of themselves and the fetus. However, when it comes to dietary supplements, you cannot blindly follow the trend, but you must pay certain attention to it.

For example, some pregnant women will eat supplements such as dried longan, ginseng, deer antler slices, royal jelly, ginseng, etc. prepared by their families. These supplements are all hot and humid. If pregnant women eat them frequently or eat too much, they will always cause fetal fire or aggravate fetal fire, causing more discomfort to the body.

For example, wild ginseng is mainly used to replenish qi and blood. If pregnant women eat too much, it is easy to aggravate edema, high blood pressure, pregnancy vomiting, irritability and insomnia. In severe cases, it may even cause the risk of stillbirth. Dried longan can replenish qi and blood, but it is not a good food for pregnant women. If pregnant women eat longan, they are prone to dry mouth, constipation, anxiety, irritability, etc. In severe cases, it may even cause abdominal pain and miscarriage.

Remember, pregnant women should eat less or no nourishing foods or supplements. It is best to consult a doctor about supplements to avoid unexpected situations.
