懷孕後期飲食可破戒？
來到孕期最後一個月，老一輩說要多吃屬性寒涼的食物，例如西瓜、涼粉、雪糕等等都可以破戒，原因是胎兒燥熱，這樣會比較容易生產，是真是假？
古語有說「產前宜涼」，但不得不再三強調中醫的原則是辨證論治，對症下藥，每位孕婦的身體狀況都不一樣，懷孕後期不代表孕婦和胎兒都一定燥熱，體質較虛弱的孕婦任何時候都不宜進食太寒涼的食物，就算體質偏熱的孕婦，寒涼食物亦建議一星期一次為宜，有疑問還是建議諮詢註冊中醫師意見。
來到懷孕後期，如沒有醫師的特別指示，還是宜多吃屬性平和的食物，加上每天飲用一杯以紅米、白米調配而成的米水、屬性平和的湯水及做適量的帶氧運動如步行、游泳又或是孕婦瑜伽等，有助應付分娩時所需要的力氣。
Can you break eating rituals towards end of pregnancy?
As you approach the last month of pregnancy, elderlies would suggest eating cold natured things like watermelon, grass jelly, ice cream etc breaking all normal eating rituals. The reason is that babies are hot and dry so ‘cooling’ down can aid delivery. Is it true? There is a theory that you should stick to cool natured things before delivery but Chinese medicine still emphasizes finding out your body type before making any changes as the body condition for each expecting mother can be different. Not all babies are hot prior to delivery and pregnant ladies with asthenic weak body types would not be suitable to have cold natured foods. Even for those expecting mom with hot natured body types we would only suggest eating cold natured foods once a week. If you have questions, it is best to consult with a Chinese medicine practitioner.
Without specific instructions from a practitioner, it is best to have mild natured foods towards end of pregnancy with a cup of rice water daily made with red and white rice and have mild natured soups. You can also do some appropriate aerobic exercise such as walking, swimming or prenatal yoga to give yourself necessary energy during delivery.
