Can eat potato during pregnancy?

Question

My MIL keeps saying avoid aloo, it makes baby fat and gives gas. But honestly aloo sabzi is the only thing i can eat without feeling nauseous these days. Is it actually fine to eat or should i cut down?

Yes totally, potato is cheap and filling and safe. I used to add it in everything. Just eat it boiled or in sabzi more than fried, simple.

Potato is fine generally but I'd just say watch the quantity. I had sugar issues in pregnancy and my doctor told me to limit potato and rice together because it spikes sugar. If your reports are normal then no worries, enjoy.

Yes you can, no problem at all.

Of course you can eat potato. Its just a normal vegetable, nothing harmful. I ate aloo sabzi through both pregnancies, just dont go overboard with fried stuff like fries daily.

Smriti Das · Answer

Potato is completely safe in pregnancy, its not on any avoid list. Just keep your overall diet balanced with veggies and protein too. If you have any specific condition like diabetes, then ask your doctor about portions.
