My MIL brought fresh plums for me because they are great for morning sickness. She always insisted I eat them with a little black salt. They are totally safe and very tasty!

You can eat plums but watch the portion size because they do contain natural sugars. I had gestational diabetes and my doctor allowed me one small plum as an evening snack because of its low glycemic index. Always track your blood sugar levels.

Plums are great and quite cheap when in season, so definitely go for them. They are packed with iron and vitamins, which helps keep your blood levels up and saves money on extra supplements. Just wash them properly before eating.
