Why does pregnant women's urine smell bad?

After a woman becomes pregnant, the placenta will secrete various hormones to adapt to the needs of fetal growth and development. Under their influence, various systems in the body will undergo a series of changes, and the changes in the reproductive system are the most obvious. However, it is still necessary to analyze the smell of urine to determine whether it is a normal physiological phenomenon or a pathological cause. This article introduces how to analyze whether the body has pathological changes by the smell of urine.

What to do if urine smells strong during pregnancy

When I was three months pregnant, my urine had a strong ammonia smell, which might be due to inflammation. This may be due to individual factors during pregnancy. You can boil honeysuckle water or Houttuynia cordata water at home, or you can stew lotus root and tremella soup. It is good to eat more refreshing fruits, such as pears, bananas, dragon fruit and kiwis. Pay attention to a light diet and drink more water.

What are some good habits to have during pregnancy?

1. Do not diet to lose weight: to avoid increasing the risk of heart disease and diabetes in the future. Experts have found that whether a person develops heart disease, diabetes and other adult diseases is clearly related to dieting during pregnancy.

Experts point out that dieting for pregnant women will reduce their energy and protein intake, and these two nutrients are indispensable substances for fetal growth, development and metabolism, and have a great impact on fetal weight. If a pregnant woman is malnourished due to dieting, it will greatly increase a person's risk of heart disease, diabetes and other diseases in adulthood. Studies have shown that environmental factors have a far greater impact on the diseases a person suffers from in adulthood than genetic factors.

2. Don’t be picky about food: to prevent the fetus from stopping development in the womb. Some pregnant women have the habit of being picky about food before pregnancy, and their taste becomes even more picky after pregnancy. When eating, they always choose to eat the food they like, and will not touch the food they don’t like. Some pregnant women even maintain the habit of eating only a small amount of staple food at each meal. You should know that there is still no natural food that can contain all the nutrients needed by the human body. Take milk and eggs for example. Although they have high nutritional value, they contain very low iron; eggs lack vitamin C which is essential for the human body.

Not eating staple foods will cause pregnant women to lack most of the energy, B vitamins, dietary fiber, etc. they need. If there is a lack of heat energy and protein, the fetus will grow slowly or even stop developing. The latest research also found that the mother's taste can be passed to the fetus through amniotic fluid and breast milk. If a pregnant woman only prefers certain foods, her child will also be prone to picky eating after birth.
