Yes beta, muskmelon (kharbuja) is very good during pregnancy as it has high water content. Just wash it properly and cut it fresh before eating. Don't eat pre-cut melon from outside.

Yes, it is safe and healthy, but since it has a good amount of natural sugar, eat it in moderation. With my PCOS, I was careful about fruit portions, but a small bowl is perfectly fine.

My gynac said muskmelon is safe, but cautioned against buying pre-sliced fruit due to listeria risk. Always wash the whole fruit at home, peel it, and eat it fresh.

Beta, kharbuja is very cooling and good for health. Just make sure you don't drink water immediately after eating it, as it can upset your stomach. Eat it during daytime.
