Pregnancy is a wonderful moment that every woman looks forward to, however, in the first trimester, special attention needs to be paid to eating a healthy diet as the embryonic development is not yet stable. Pregnant mothers should be wary of certain fruits and foods that may have an impact on the health of the fetus. Today, we are going to list the fruits and foods that expectant mothers should not eat in the first trimester.
1. Persimmons. 
The tannic acid contained in persimmon will react with stomach acid to form hard lumps, which can easily form stones or intestinal obstruction, affecting the health of the fetus. Therefore, in the first trimester, pregnant mothers should avoid eating persimmons to avoid adverse reactions.
Second, hawthorn. 
Hawthorn has the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, and can stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, and in the first trimester, the hormone level of pregnant women is unstable, the embryo may also have just implanted, and excessive hawthorn intake may trigger uterine contractions, which may lead to the risk of threatened miscarriage.
3. Sashimi, raw meat, raw eggs.
Bacteria and parasites may be present in these foods, which can easily cause infections and food poisoning. In the first trimester, pregnant mothers should try to avoid eating sashimi, raw meat, raw eggs and other foods.

Ginger and chili peppers are both hot foods that can easily cause irritation and gastrointestinal upset. In the first trimester, pregnant mothers should try to avoid eating ginger and chili peppers to avoid affecting the health of the fetus.
5. Alcohol. 
Drinking alcohol during the first trimester is one of the leading causes of birth defects in babies. This is because alcohol can cross the placenta and enter the fetus, where the liver and digestive system are not fully developed to metabolize and excrete the alcohol. In this way, alcohol stays in the fetus, affecting the normal growth and development of the fetus, and may lead to various birth defects, such as mental retardation, facial deformities, heart disease, etc.
6. Caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, and cola.
Caffeine can affect fetal development and increase the risk of preterm birth, miscarriage, and low birth weight. During the first trimester, pregnant mothers should try to avoid caffeinated beverages or reduce their intake.
