The more people eat salt, the higher the incidence of hypertension. Therefore, the diet of pregnant women is still light.

4. Vegetarian food for a long time

Insufficient protein supply can reduce the number of fetal brain development and fat insufficiency, it is easy to cause the birth of a low-weight fetus.

Drinking cold drinks can cause gastrointestinal blood vessels to contract suddenly, which can cause loss of appetite, indigestion, diarrhea, and even cause stomach cramps and severe abdominal pain.

Pregnant women too much water
