Yes avocado is generally fine and actually has good healthy fats and folate. I had it in salads through my pregnancy. But if you have any specific condition, just confirm with your gynac once.

Honestly avocado is a bit pricey here so I just stuck to local fruits which work fine too. If you like it and can afford it, go for it actually. Banana and seasonal fruits also give good nutrition.

We don't get it much in our area but my cousin in Bangalore ate it regularly. My doc had no issue with it. Anything in moderation is the rule na.

Avocado toast was my whole second trimester honestly haha. Tastes good and fills you up nicely. Just don't go overboard, it's a bit heavy.
