Eating acid during pregnancy usually refers to acidic food. You can eat acidic food during pregnancy, but it is not recommended to eat large amounts of acid food for a long time. Eating acidic food in moderation can improve appetite to some extent, but in the long run, it may lead to excessive gastric acid secretion and blood acidification of pregnant women, which may indirectly lead to fetal dysplasia.
During pregnancy, especially in the early stage of pregnancy, pregnant women may have nausea, vomiting, anorexia and other early pregnancy reactions. At the same time, due to a large amount of estrogen, progesterone and human chorionic gonadotropin, it may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, resulting in anorexia, abdominal distension and other symptoms. At this time, in order to prevent the pregnant woman from being undernourished and affecting the growth and development of the fetus, you can eat acidic foods, such as wild jujube, cranberry, etc., so as to stimulate the oral and gastric mucosa and achieve the goal of appetizing. At the same time, an appropriate acidic environment can promote the absorption of calcium, iron and other elements in the fetus, so eating acidic food in an appropriate amount after pregnancy usually has no effect on pregnancy.
If you eat a lot of acidic food for a long time during pregnancy, it may lead to a large amount of gastric acid secretion, reflux, stimulation of the stomach, esophagus, or even reflux to the throat, resulting in decreased sleep quality, or repeated nausea, vomiting and other symptoms, which may affect the development of the fetus. It may also lead to the acidification of pregnant women's blood and increase the concentration of epinephrine, dopamine and other catecholamines in the blood, leading to vasoconstriction, rising blood pressure and hypertension during pregnancy. If catecholamines appear, they may also inhibit insulin secretion, which may lead to pregnancy with diabetes, which is not conducive to the normal development of the fetus. Therefore, it is not recommended to take large amounts of catecholamines for a long time.
During pregnancy, pregnant women should reasonably plan their diet and supplement a variety of nutrients in order to provide multiple and comprehensive nutrients for the growth and development of the fetus. They should not be limited to acidic food, and they need to conduct regular pregnancy tests under the guidance of doctors, so as to intuitively understand the growth and development of the fetus.
