Pregnant women love to eat sweets. What's the matter with pregnant women loving to eat sweets?

As the saying goes, "sour for a boy, spicy for a girl", there is a certain connection between the performance of a pregnant woman during pregnancy and the fetus. Many parents are full of curiosity about the baby in their belly, so what does it mean if a pregnant mother loves to eat sweets during pregnancy?

Pregnant women who love sweets are more likely to give birth to boys. But in fact, this statement is not credible, because the taste of pregnant women will change after pregnancy, which is caused by changes in hormones in the body and has nothing to do with the gender of the fetus. Pregnant women eating sweets will not necessarily give birth to boys. In addition, the eating habits of pregnant women are also related to their living habits and daily diet. For example, if you are always stopped by your family from eating sweets during pregnancy, you will be particularly eager for sweets and want to eat them. In addition, people in Shanghai and Suzhou and Hangzhou prefer sweet food.

1 Endocrine changes Pregnant women's love of sweets may be due to changes in taste buds caused by endocrine changes. After a woman becomes pregnant, due to the effects of changes in estrogen in the body and the nutritional needs of the fetus, many pregnant mothers' sense of taste will change. Some become more sensitive, while others become abnormal. For example, a food that they didn't like to eat before becomes a favorite after pregnancy. This is the case with a love of sweets.

2 Eating sweets makes people happy. Sweets can promote the production of dopamine and serotonin, which can make people happy. This may be the reason why many pregnant mothers like to eat sweets, because it makes pregnant mothers feel happier.

1. Pregnant women can eat sweets in excess, but they should pay attention to the amount they eat and not eat too much. Eating too many sweets can easily lead to sugar metabolism disorders in pregnant women, increase the probability of gestational diabetes, endanger the health of the fetus, and increase the risk of dystocia and cesarean section.

2. Choose sweets with low fat content. Pregnant women should also be careful when choosing sweets. Not all sweets are suitable for consumption. It is recommended to choose sweets with low fat content, such as raisins, dates, yogurt, cheese, etc.

3. Exercise more. Sweets contain a lot of sugar, which can easily be converted into fat after being consumed by pregnant women, affecting the health of pregnant women and fetuses. Pregnant women should exercise moderately after eating sweets, which will help digestion and absorption of sweets and will not easily make them gain weight.

You can eat it in moderation, but don’t eat too much, because eating too much is not good for yourself and the fetus. The details are as follows:

1. Cause diabetes. Sweets contain a lot of sugar. If pregnant women eat too much, their blood sugar will rise, making them more likely to develop gestational diabetes, which can cause fetal macrosomia and dystocia, threatening the safety of themselves and the fetus.

2. Prone to osteoporosis. Eating too much sweets will affect the body's absorption of nutrients such as calcium, and it is more likely to cause osteoporosis and other symptoms in expectant mothers.

3. Make you fat. Sweets are high in calories and most of them contain a lot of fat. Eating too much can easily make expectant mothers fat. Excessive weight gain is not conducive to childbirth and may also increase the risk of pregnancy complications.

4. Prone to gynecological diseases. Long-term consumption of foods high in sugar content will increase the glycogen in the vagina, increase the acidity, and cause yeast to multiply in large numbers, which can easily cause candidal vaginitis.
