Question
Have elders said that pregnant women have toxemia? Do all pregnant women need to remove toxemia? I’ve heard that pregnant women should start removing toxemia around the 30th week of pregnancy. Do you all know this? Is there really such a thing as toxemia?
Answer
Hello. Toxemia in pregnancy, also known as severe postpartum allergy, mainly manifests as various skin allergic reactions, commonly seen in infants several months or under one year old. The disease can lead to skin damage, affect rest and sleep, and cause crying and irritability in infants. This condition is usually caused by pregnant women consuming excessive spicy food, high-fat, and high-sugar diets, or not adjusting their lifestyle appropriately. Generally speaking, pregnant women should pay attention to a light diet and do not need any special medication.
