A friend was five months pregnant, and it was summer at that time, and she wanted to eat a piece of ice cream, but the family watched it closely. So I ran to the kitchen to cook a bowl of mung bean porridge to cool down the heat, and just about to enjoy the deliciousness, her mother-in-law took the bowl away before she drank it, saying that pregnant women can't eat mung bean porridge, otherwise it is easy to slip! Friends are wronged.

So can you drink mung bean porridge when pregnant, is mung bean porridge really easy to slip on the fetus?

As a former pregnant woman, I would like to share my personal experience. I used to be very fond of mung bean soup when I was pregnant because it had a refreshing taste and was said to have a heat-clearing and detoxifying effect. However, I am also very aware that pregnant women need to pay attention to their diet to avoid adverse effects on the fetus.

During my pregnancy, I consulted a doctor, and the doctor suggested that I could drink mung bean soup in moderation, because mung beans contain essential amino acids and vitamins for the human body, which can improve the utilization of protein, improve appetite and digestion. However, the doctor also reminded me that mung beans are cold, and pregnant women with weak spleen and stomach should drink less to avoid causing diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms.

In addition, I am also very careful not to drink cold mung bean soup, because iced food can easily cause gastrointestinal cramps and diarrhea, which has potential risks to the health of both pregnant women and fetuses.

In conclusion, as a pregnant woman, you need to pay special attention to your diet, especially when drinking cold foods such as mung bean soup. We need to decide whether and how much to drink according to our physical condition and the doctor's advice. At the same time, we also need to maintain a balanced and varied diet to ensure the health of ourselves and our fetuses.
