Is avocado safe during pregnancy?

Question

Saw avocado is good for pregnancy on some page so I bought one, but its not a normal Indian fruit for us so im unsure. Can I have it daily? Anyone eats it in pregnancy?

I love having avocado shakes but was worried if it generates body heat. Are you guys eating it raw or mixing it in salads?

It is extremely safe and rich in folate, which is great for the baby's development. I made sure to eat it weekly during my IVF pregnancy for peace of mind.

Absolutely safe and packed with good nutrients. Just make sure to wash them thoroughly before cutting, like any other fruit.

Yes, it is safe but honestly quite expensive in India. You can get similar healthy fats from walnuts and ghee, which are much cheaper and easily available!

My father brought some for me because they are very healthy. I used to eat them as a simple spread on toast, but plain home food is just as good if you don't like the taste.
