Are corns good during pregnancy?

Question

I'm really craving some corn on the cob, but my mother-in-law said to avoid certain foods. Is it okay to eat corn while pregnant, or should I be careful?

I used to worry if sweet corn would increase my blood sugar too much! It is high in fiber, but try not to overeat it and keep an eye on how your stomach feels.

Corn is fine in moderation, but make sure it is fully cooked to avoid food infection. I had a lot of issues during my delivery, so I always say ask your doctor before making any big diet changes.

Yes, corn is great for digestion and prevents constipation. Just boil it properly and have it as a salad, no need to overcomplicate simple food.

I literally lived on butter corn during my third trimester last month! It's super safe and help with those random evening cravings, just avoid the roadside ones.

Boiled corn was my go-to evening snack because it has good folic acid. It really helped with my energy levels, just make sure it's fresh and hot.

Corn is a good complex carb to fuel your daily walks. I used to have a small bowl after my doctor-approved evening yoga session for a quick energy boost.
