      Melons and fruits are easy to digest and have high nutrition. The more pregnant women eat, the better. Is it true?

      Generally speaking, melons and fruits are cold in nature and are harmful to the intestines and stomach. The digestive system of pregnant women is relatively sensitive. Eating too much at one time and excessive coldness will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. If you eat a large amount of fruits with high sugar content after a meal, it is likely to lead to elevated blood sugar and metabolic disorders in pregnant women, which may lead to gestational diabetes , expectant mothers should try to eat less fruits with high sugar content, such as kiwi, watermelon, banana, etc., and they should not eat fruits as dinner.

         Under normal circumstances, expectant mothers can eat 100 grams of apples, pears, watermelons, tomatoes and other fruits every day, and no more than half a kilogram per day. 》》》 What snacks can pregnant women eat? 5kind of delicious
