Its summer and i really crave kharbooja but my mom says avoid certain fruits in pregnancy. Im in my second trimester. Is muskmelon safe or should i skip it?
Oh yes, kharbooja was my summer obsession this pregnancy. So juicy and fills you up. Just wash it well and eat fresh, dont let it sit out, and enjoy yaar.
Yes you can eat it. Its hydrating and full of vitamins, I ate it through both pregnancies. Only thing, wash properly and dont eat pre cut fruit kept out for hours. Fresh and clean is the rule.
Generally muskmelon is safe and nice. One thing from my side, it does have natural sugar, so if you have sugar issues like I did, keep the portion small and check with your doctor. Otherwise a small bowl is lovely especially in this heat.
Beta muskmelon (kharbooja) is fine and actually cooling for the body in summer. Just wash it very well before cutting and eat it fresh, not kept cut for long. In moderation its good, gives water and keeps you fresh.
