Oatmeal is not oatmeal. Pregnant mothers should be careful not to eat it wrongly, which may cause miscarriage.

Oats, also known as naked oats, are a common food that is rich in nutrients. Oats are high in protein and amino acids, and many people easily confuse them with oats. However, although oats are good, women during pregnancy should not eat them. In severe cases, it may cause miscarriage in women.

Relatives of the oatmeal family

Oatmeal has many relatives. In terms of raw materials, it can be divided into four types: oatmeal, buckwheat flakes, barley flakes and wheat flakes.

Oatmeal

When processing oatmeal, naked oats are generally used.

Buckwheat flakes

There are two major varieties of buckwheat: sweet buckwheat and bitter buckwheat. The latter is better for processing oatmeal.

Expectant mothers should be careful and avoid those containing oatmeal ingredients. You must avoid them! I will say it three times, no thanks!

Can't tell the difference between oatmeal and cereal? Which one can pregnant mothers eat?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that oats have the effect of inducing labor and stopping sweating. Because oats have the power to lubricate the intestines and move them downward, they can help with bowel movements and induce labor, but they can also aggravate diarrhea and miscarriage, so pregnant women should avoid eating oats.

However, although pregnant women cannot eat oats, they can eat cereal, so pregnant women should check whether the instant cereal they buy in the supermarket contains oats before deciding whether to eat it. The cereal you buy in the supermarket is a mixture of various grains, such as wheat, rice, corn, barley, etc., of which oatmeal only accounts for a small part or even contains no oatmeal at all. Therefore, when pregnant women eat cereal, they should be careful to identify whether the cereal contains oats. If there is no oatmeal, pregnant mothers can eat it safely, but if it contains oatmeal, even in a small amount, it is recommended to eat it with caution.

Oh my god! What should I do if a pregnant mother accidentally eats oats?

Due to differences in individual physical constitutions, many things are fine for some people to eat, but may cause discomfort to others. If the pregnant woman has only eaten a small amount and does not feel any discomfort, there is no need to worry too much. If the pregnant woman is really worried, she can go to the hospital for a check-up. However, if you feel uncomfortable after eating oatmeal, such as a small amount of vaginal bleeding and mild lower abdominal pain, accompanied by paroxysmal abdominal pain and other symptoms, you must go to the hospital for medical treatment.
