Hawthorn does have the effect of inducing uterine contractions, but only if consumed in excess. If a pregnant woman eats hawthorn in late pregnancy, it will not cause uterine contractions if eaten in small amounts, but it should not be eaten in large amounts or frequently, as it may induce uterine contractions and lead to premature labor. The diet of pregnant women during pregnancy is very important for the healthy development of the pregnant woman herself and her baby. In addition to avoiding excessive consumption of hawthorn in late pregnancy, you should also avoid other foods that cause symptoms of preterm labor, such as snapper, crab and horseshoe fruit. Pregnant women in late pregnancy should eat a light diet, drink appropriate porridge, eat more fresh fruits, insist on drinking milk or yogurt in moderation every day, and eat soy products appropriately. All these foods are relatively safe for pregnant women in late pregnancy.
