alert! Nine kinds of flowers can easily cause miscarriage in pregnant women!

Oleander: May cause miscarriage

Oleander has bright flowers and is very easy to grow. However, its leaves, bark, flowers and fruits all contain a highly toxic substance called oleoside, which has the effect of stimulating the uterus. Taking it can cause the contraction of the uterus to become stronger and faster. Once a pregnant mother comes into contact with it, it will cause poisoning, drowsiness, and mental retardation. Eating it will cause nausea and dizziness, and it will also have adverse effects on the fetus. Cinnamon twig is a medicine that warms the meridians, unblocks blood vessels and dispels cold. Although it is not a medicine that pregnant women should not take, people with high fever, yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire, and blood heat should avoid taking it. Pregnant women should also take it under the guidance of a doctor. If cinnamon twig and oleander are taken together, the effect of abortion will be more obvious.

Poinsettia: Causes nervous disorders in pregnant women

A bright red flower is how the poinsettia is described. This flower is also called Christmas flower, which is mainly a red flower used for decoration around Christmas. Since the poinsettia's flowering period lasts from December to February of the following year, many businesses and citizens choose to use this red flower to decorate the New Year atmosphere.

But what you don’t know is that the poinsettia is a poison pot from head to toe. The white latex in the stems and leaves of poinsettia contains a variety of toxic alkaloids. Once the pregnant mother's skin comes into contact with poinsettia, it may cause redness, swelling, fever, itching and local papules. In addition, if the stems and leaves of poinsettia are accidentally ingested, it may cause gastrointestinal reactions and nervous disorders at the mildest, or poisoning and death at the worst.

Lily: Causes miscarriage and allergies

Lily is probably one of the most popular flowers besides rose, and has always been called the princess of flowers. The fragrance of the flowers is elegant and refreshing, very pleasant to smell, and most people will not mind it. However, the stimulants contained in this fragrance may stimulate the nerves of pregnant mothers, causing them to become overly excited, and even cause symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and vomiting. In severe cases, it may lead to fetal instability or even miscarriage.

In addition, lily pollen generally contains certain chemical components. If it is inhaled into the respiratory tract of pregnant mothers or sticks to the skin of pregnant mothers, it may cause allergies. The strong floral fragrance is more likely to aggravate allergic symptoms. Therefore, pregnant mothers who are more sensitive to their skin and respiratory tract should remember to keep their distance when seeing lilies.

Tulips: Affecting fetal development

The Netherlands is the world of tulips, and fresh tulips are airlifted to people all over the world every day. There are many varieties of tulips with bright colors, and red, yellow and purple are the most popular. At present, tulips are planted and appreciated in many famous parks and tourist attractions in China.

Tulip flowers contain a toxin. If pregnant women plant tulips indoors, those with weaker constitutions may feel dizzy more easily and become unconscious. More serious consequences may lead to poisoning, hair loss, or even fetal deformity or miscarriage, especially for pregnant women before 12 weeks of pregnancy. If pregnant mothers are viewing tulips outdoors, they need to keep a distance from the flowers.

Dieffenbachia: Contains toxins

The sap in the flowers and leaves contains toxins. If a pregnant mother accidentally ingests it, it may cause swelling or pain in the mouth, throat, esophagus, gastrointestinal tract, or tumors, and may even damage the vocal cords, causing the pregnant mother to become mute, and it will also have a great impact on the fetus.

Hydrangea: Irritating the Sensitive Skin of Pregnant Women

Hydrangea is also called geranium. The flowers are densely packed like a ball, so it is also called hydrangea. The flowers come in a variety of colors, including red, white, pink, and purple. The flowering period starts in early winter and lasts until early summer of the following year. They are generally used as indoor and outdoor decorations in gardens, and can also be used as flowers for spring flower beds.

Hydrangea can be considered the nemesis of pregnant mothers. If pregnant mothers accidentally eat it in their daily life, it will cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, shortness of breath, vomiting, bloody stools and other poisoning symptoms. In addition, hydrangea also has the function of regulating hormones. The particles emitted from the stamens can cause skin allergies and itching, and the irritation to some sensitive skin will be greater. Therefore, pregnant mothers should not come into contact with this plant during pregnancy.

Tuberose: causes asthma and insomnia in pregnant mothers

When tuberose blooms, its strong fragrance can be smelled from far and wide, especially at night. Its fragrance contains a harmful substance. When it stops photosynthesis at night, it will emit a large amount of waste gas. This waste gas is actually what people often call "floral fragrance". This floral fragrance can cause dizziness, coughing, and even asthma and insomnia in pregnant mothers, especially before three months of pregnancy, which can easily affect the growth and development of the fetus in the belly. Therefore, if any of your neighbors have planted it, pregnant mothers should take the initiative to avoid it. In serious cases, they can consider returning to their parents' home to rest to avoid the smell.

Mimosa: May cause miscarriage or fetal malformation

People often say, "Humans are not plants, so who can be without emotions?" But in fact, it is just the opposite, because plants also have perceptions, rich and colorful emotions, and even language, music, dance, etc. It's just that their forms of expression are special and magical, and not easy for us to detect. Mimosa is the most typical one among them. If you touch the feathery, slender leaves, they close immediately. But do you know? Such an interesting plant contains mimosa alkaloid, which is a highly toxic organic substance. If you are exposed to it too much, it may cause symptoms such as scalp shedding or general discomfort. In severe cases, it may even cause miscarriage for the pregnant mother or deformity of the fetus.

Clove: Can cause dizziness and insomnia in pregnant women

Lilac flowers stop photosynthesis at night and emit a large amount of carbon dioxide, which is extremely harmful to human health. Especially for pregnant women, the waste released by cloves can easily cause dizziness, coughing, and even insomnia. It is recommended that pregnant mothers should grasp the right degree of flower appreciation, and do not place potted plants at home just because you think the flowers are beautiful during pregnancy.

Momo Talk: How can pregnant mothers grow flowers safely?

In the early stages of pregnancy, it is best for pregnant mothers to avoid contact with flowers with strong smells, such as jasmine, oleander, poinsettia, etc. Flowers with strong scents will release carbon dioxide and absorb oxygen at night, which may cause the oxygen content in the indoor air to drop, so it is best not to place them in the bedroom. Not only should you not grow them yourself, but you should also stay away from these flowers with strong smells when you encounter them outdoors. Pregnant mothers’ families can raise aloe vera, cactus, etc., because these plants have a light fragrance, can release oxygen during the day and night, and have a certain effect on air conditioning. Aloe vera can also absorb some indoor harmful substances to a certain extent, such as formaldehyde, and has many benefits.
