Is broccoli good during pregnancy?

Question

My nutritionist suggested adding more green vegetables to my diet, and I was thinking about broccoli. Is broccoli considered a good and safe vegetable to eat during pregnancy? I want to make sure I'm eating right for the baby.

Broccoli is great, but honestly, busy days me cleaning and chopping it takes time. I used to buy pre-washed frozen ones and just steam them quickly for dinner.

It has great fiber which helps with pregnancy constipation. I paired it with regular evening walks as my doctor allowed, kept me so active!

Oh yes! Broccoli is a superfood 🥦. You can make soup or just sauté it with some butter and garlic, tastes yum and healthy!

Yes, it is very good! I ate it a lot during my pregnancy for folate, just make sure to wash it really well to avoid any dirt or bugs.

It is absolutely safe and packed with nutrients for the baby. Just cook it fully, don't eat it raw, and you are good to go dear.

It is healthy, but if you have thyroid issues or bloating like I did during my high-risk phase, better check with your gynac first. Always safe to ask them about your diet.
