Can i eat muskmelon during first trimester of pregnancy?

Question

I am 9 weeks and craving kharbuja because it feels cooling. But elders keep warning about fruits in early pregnancy. Did anyone eat muskmelon in first trimester without issue?

Nupur Thakur · Answer

Its a nice hydrating fruit but it does have sugar, so i kept the portion modest. In the first trimester a small bowl is lovely, just dont have a huge quantity at once.

Kharbooja is cooling and full of water beta, good in this heat. Just wash it well and eat it fresh, cut at home only. In small amounts its perfectly fine in early months.

Muskmelon is fine and hydrating, the main thing is hygiene, wash the skin before cutting and eat it fresh, not pre-cut from outside. If you have any specific issue just run it by your gynac.
