I love pineapple but my MIL got really tense seeing me eat it, she says its garam and not safe. Now im confused because honestly i was enjoying it. Currently in 2nd trimester, is it really something to avoid?
I avoided it completely in the first trimester because I kept reading scary things, honestly out of anxiety. Later my gynac said small amounts are fine. Dont let the myths stress you like they stressed me.
Beta in our home elders avoided too much pineapple in early months, just to be safe. A little bit is okay, but dont eat it in big quantity raw. If you are unsure, just ask your doctor once.
A normal portion of pineapple is fine, all that fear is mostly exaggerated. Eating a huge amount of raw pineapple is what people warn about. I had small pieces sometimes with no problem at all.
