Craving for ice cream during early pregnancy

In the hot summer, many young people often buy various kinds of ice products, ice creams, and chilled drinks outside. However, for pregnant women, eating an iced watermelon has become a luxury, because many people always advise pregnant mothers not to eat ice during pregnancy, because eating ice will affect the fetus and make the child prone to illness. We need to understand whether you can eat ice in the early stages of pregnancy.

1. Two major fallacies of expectant mothers eating ice

1. Is the fetus affected?

Many elders say that if pregnant women eat ice cream too often, the baby born in the future will be more likely to have tracheal problems or diseases, or will become more prone to diarrhea and fear of cold. In fact, this statement is not entirely correct.

2. Is the mother stimulated?

Many people have spread rumors that eating ice during pregnancy can easily cause the mother's uterus to contract, and can also more easily lead to bleeding and even the risk of miscarriage. In fact, this statement is not entirely true.

3. Genetic relationship of allergy

Try not to eat ice during pregnancy, after all, it contains a lot of chemicals.

Eating ice is more likely to cause coughing, but it has little to do with genetic problems. Therefore, whether a baby is prone to respiratory problems is mainly determined by genetics.

Warm reminder: If either the father or the mother has an allergic constitution, the child will be more likely to inherit the allergic constitution.

4. Ice cream is not a crime of war

In today's world where the incidence of allergic diseases is very high, this problem is bound to increase, but it has little to do with whether or not you eat ice cream. Instead, expectant mothers should pay attention to reducing their intake of protein and fat, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and lactic acid bacteria.

Warm reminder: This will reduce the risk of allergic reactions in the fetus.

5. Premature labor and uterine contraction constitution

Whether eating ice during pregnancy can easily cause uterine contractions, or even lead to premature birth or miscarriage, in fact, there is no direct correlation between the two. Instead, it is more closely related to the physical constitution of the woman herself.
