Question
I ate Zhengxin chicken skewers and sour plum soup today at 7 weeks of early pregnancy. Will it affect the fetus? I can’t eat anything else right now; only these foods are still edible.
Answer
If you have a lack of appetite during the early stages of pregnancy and can’t eat other foods, it’s okay to just eat these. It’s recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up on trace elements and vitamins. During pregnancy, try to consume foods such as fish, eggs, milk, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits. Even if you have a lack of appetite, consuming small amounts is feasible to avoid malnutrition issues. Usually, after 3 months of pregnancy, this situation will gradually improve. Reduce the intake of fried and greasy foods, but moderate consumption is not harmful.
