1. Salt and pickles

During pregnancy, women without salt are faced with edema and deterioration of health, and salt will only aggravate the situation.

It is necessary to reduce salt intake after 7 months of pregnancy in order to improve metabolism, facilitate cervical dilatation before childbirth and significantly speed up the process of having a baby.

2. Tea, coffee, chocolate
