Liver cod during pregnancy

In the period of expectation of a new life, future mothers are forced to restrict the use of previously loved foods, so as not to cause harm to the health and vital functions of the fetus. In particular, many girls and women are wondering whether there is a cod liver in pregnancy and how much this product will be safe for crumbs. In this article we will try to understand this issue.

Can pregnant women eat cod liver?

To begin with, it should be noted that the cod liver is a canned product, which is why some experts completely exclude it from the diet of expectant mothers. At the same time, these canned foods have a lot of valuable properties.

Especially for pregnant women, the following properties of cod liver are useful:

• promotes the normalization of the hormonal background;
• improves vision and strengthens teeth;
• helps the kidneys cope with increased stress;
• is a source of a huge amount of vitamins and valuable trace elements;
• increases immunity;
• prevents the development of thrombosis.

That is why it is not only possible to eat cod liver during pregnancy, but also it is necessary, but only in the absence of contraindications to the use of this product, in particular:

• individual intolerance and a tendency to allergic to fish and seafood;
• chronic liver and stomach diseases;
• urolithiasis disease;
• low blood pressure, a tendency to hypotension;
• an overabundance in the body of vitamin D and calcium.

One way or another, do not abuse this product, because even in the absence of contraindications, a large amount of cod liver during pregnancy can bring not only good, but also harm.

According to some clinical trials, the consumption of a large amount of canned food of this kind during pregnancy can provoke the formation of malformations of the fetus. That is why the daily norm of this product, permissible for expectant mothers, should not be more than 100 grams.
