Can we eat lemon during pregnancy?

Yes, absolutely safe. Lemon juice actually helps with acidity and nausea too.

Girl, I have been practically living on nimbu paani and lemon pickles this whole time! Baby is half lemon at this point, so don't worry and drink up.

Agree with others, lemon is super rich in Vitamin C. It is totally safe and great for immunity.

Lemon water was my absolute savior when I couldn't swallow anything else! The sour smell alone stops that icky feeling instantly, so go ahead and enjoy it.

I drink warm lemon water every morning to help with my digestion, but sometimes I worry if too much sour food is bad. Did anyone else crave lemons like crazy in their second trimester?
