Its summer and i really feel like having kharbuja, but my mom said be careful with melons in pregnancy. Im in second trimester. Can i eat cantaloupe or should i avoid, anyone?
My amma always gave me melon in the hot months, she said it cools the body. I enjoyed it in moderation and my doctor was fine with it. Just rinse it well and eat fresh cut, not sitting out for long.
I ate muskmelon (thats cantaloupe na) all through summer in my pregnancy, so refreshing and kept me hydrated. Just wash the outside properly before cutting. Had a smooth delivery, no issues from it.
Yes its fine and quite good actually, lots of water content. The only real rule is wash the rind before cutting and dont eat pre cut pieces lying around. Fresh cut at home is best.
