Can pregnant women drink sour plum soup?

Pregnant women can generally drink sour plum soup. During pregnancy, many women experience nausea and vomiting; drinking an appropriate amount of sour plum soup may help alleviate these symptoms and stimulate appetite. This is because sour plum soup contains ingredients such as hawthorn and smoked plums (wu mei). However, excessive consumption should be avoided, as it may irritate the stomach and intestines and potentially trigger signs of threatened miscarriage.
