I was really craving pineapple juice today but my MIL stopped me saying its garam and not good in pregnancy. Im in my 2nd trimester. Is there any truth to this or just a myth? confused yaar.
Actually yaar, you would have to eat like 8 to 10 whole pineapples at once for it to cause any real harm! A small glass of fresh juice once in a while is perfectly fine. Just make sure it is freshly squeezed at home and not some random road-side stall juice.
Oh my god, the pineapple craving is real! I had fresh pineapple juice twice during my second trimester because I just couldn't resist the tangy taste. Just drink a small portion to satisfy your tongue, and don't overindulge, balance is everything!
Let's be real, the whole "pineapple causes miscarriage" thing is mostly an old myth. Unless you are consuming crates of it, it won't affect your pregnancy at all. Go ahead and enjoy a glass of fresh juice, just avoid the canned ones with loaded preservatives.
Beta, traditionally we advise against having pineapple or papaya, especially in the first three months, because they have hot properties. It is better to stick to safer fruits like pomegranate, apples, or coconut water during this delicate phase. Just listen to what your family elders suggest for peace of mind.
In our family, elders strictly told me to avoid pineapple throughout the nine months. However, my doctor explained that a tiny cup of juice won't do any harm as the bromelain content is very low. Still, to satisfy both, I just had other juices like sweet lime and pomegranate instead.
I am in my 18th week now and I have been craving cold pineapple juice so badly, but everyone around me says it causes miscarriage! I asked my gynac and she said a small glass is totally fine, but I'm still so scared to try it. Has anyone else actually had it without any issues?
