How does fetal toxins form in pregnant women? Will fetal toxins affect the fetus?

Many pregnant mothers have not adapted to the physiological changes caused by the presence of the baby, and their appetite increases rapidly during pregnancy. In addition, the body is unable to eliminate some metabolites, which causes the body to become inflamed and produces fetal toxins, which will directly affect the baby in the belly.

How is fetal toxin formed in pregnant women

The so-called fetal toxins refer to the situation after pregnancy when the mother's body has not yet adapted to the physiological changes caused by the fetus. In addition, the sudden increase in food intake and the inability to excrete metabolic products smoothly cause the accumulation of metabolites or harmful substances in the body. These are what people often call "fetal toxins."

During pregnancy, the metabolic rate is different from usual and the body is hotter. If the pregnant mother does not control her diet at this time, or often eats inappropriate food, such as food that is easy to get angry, hot food, etc., the mother is prone to symptoms such as getting angry and toxic accumulation. Or if the pregnant mother often eats hot food, spicy food, or even because of a bad mood, it will directly affect the fetus and cause the baby to have fetal toxic symptoms after birth.

In addition to the phenomenon of fetal toxicity caused by the pregnant mother's poor eating habits or physical problems, if the fetus is affected by the hot and toxic evils hidden in the mother's body during pregnancy, resulting in some hot symptoms after birth, it is caused by fetal toxicity. Fetal toxicity is mainly dampness and heat, which are accumulated by the pregnant mother during pregnancy. If the pregnant mother eats a lot of fish and meat, eats too much maternal milk powder, and eats too much spicy and fried food during pregnancy, it will increase the heat in the body and is likely to be passed on to the fetus.

What are the symptoms of fetal toxicity

The symptoms of fetal toxicity are mainly manifested as various skin allergies on the baby's skin, such as boils, scabies, acne, etc. The main common clinical symptoms include fetal toxicity fever, fetal toxicity chills, fetal toxicity convulsions, fetal toxicity yellowing, etc., as follows:

1. Fetal toxicity and fever: high fever all over the body, closed mouth and red face, hot breathing, swollen eyelids, shortness of breath, crying and irritability, short and red urine, and constipation.

2. Fetal toxicity and coldness: pale complexion, drowsiness, white diarrhea when sucking milk, cold breathing, shivering, bending feet and clenching fists, crying in pain, or unable to open the mouth.

3. Fetal toxins causing convulsions: frequent convulsions, hot body and blue face, clenched jaws, reverse breathing and gurgling phlegm, straight waist and stiff body, eyes looking up, and inability to cry.

4. Fetal toxicity turns yellow: the face and whole body are yellow like gold, the body is hot, the urine is like gardenia juice, the person has no appetite for milk or food, and the person cries constantly.

Fetal toxins can easily cause skin diseases in babies

If pregnant mothers often eat spicy and hot foods during pregnancy, these things will form toxins in the body and pass to the baby through the umbilical cord. After the baby is born, the skin will be prone to skin diseases such as eczema. Neonatal jaundice, boils, scabies, acne, rashes, etc. are all common skin diseases.

However, not all skin problems in infants and young children are caused by fetal toxins. It may be because the environment in the mother's womb is relatively clean and safe, and the nutrition intake comes directly from the mother. After birth, when the baby is exposed to the natural world, various germs and allergens in nature, although not a big deal for adults, may cause the above skin problems in children. Therefore, parents should not be too sensitive to fetal toxins and blindly remove them.

Precautions for removing fetal toxins

1. Pay attention to a reasonable diet during pregnancy, eat more foods that nourish yin and moisten dryness, promote body fluid and nourish the lungs, and seasonal fruits, eat less spicy, fried, and greasy foods, and keep bowel movements smooth.

2. If the baby has an allergic constitution, it is recommended to go to the Allergy Department (Skin Allergy Department) of a large hospital for a detailed screening of allergens or listen to experts for some advice to prevent the baby from obtaining this allergen from breast milk.

3. Pay attention to your life routine, combine work and rest, and ensure adequate sleep and good metabolism, so as to ensure the balance of the body and improve immunity.

4. Avoid taking medicine indiscriminately to "clear fetal toxins". Some folk remedies for clearing fetal toxins, tortoise jelly or herbal tea contain ingredients that are not suitable for pregnant women. Taking them blindly may cause hidden dangers.
