I actually asked the clinical nutritionist at my hospital about this during my first trimester. She said guavas are excellent for fiber and vitamin C, but advised me to always peel the outer skin to prevent any risk of bacterial infection. If you're unsure, just drop a message to your hospital care coordinator.

Haan, go ahead and eat it without any worry, it's very cheap and healthy. Just make sure to wash it properly under running water, and don't eat those too-hard, raw ones as they can cause stomach pain. Half a ripe guava with a little salt is perfect for afternoon cravings.

Yes, you can definitely eat guava! It's very healthy and helps with pregnancy constipation.

I used to crave pink guavas so much during my pregnancy, especially in my second trimester. Reading your question brings back so many sweet memories of those days. Eat them happily, they are great for you and your little one, just wash them nicely!
