Amita Sahoo · Answer

I ate almost a whole bowl of lychees when carrying my twins! Just don't overdo it because they are super sweet and can spike your sugars.

Ilakiya Krishnakumar · Answer

Always best to ask your gynac if you have any doubts, especially if you have a risk of gestational diabetes. I was told to limit high-sugar fruits.

Kanika Oswal · Answer

I know we overthink every single fruit we eat, I was so scared of lychees too! But my doctor said normal seasonal fruits in small portions are completely safe.

Geeta Pawar · Answer

I am in my 3rd trimester and honestly, if I want lychees, I eat them! Just keep it to a handful so you don't get a sugar rush while feeling already heavy.

Jasoda Rana · Answer

Beta, eat only 2-3 lychees at a time because they have a 'garam' tendency. It is fine to satisfy cravings but balance it with coconut water to keep body cool.

Jayshree Dutta · Answer

I just had my baby and I ate lychees last summer! They are totally safe, just wash them very thoroughly before peeling.

Jayshree Deshmukh · Answer

Haha yes, they are delicious! Unless you are planning to eat a whole tree, a few lychees won't do any harm. Enjoy the sweet fruit season!

It is totally fine in moderation and doesn't cost much to add to your fruit bowl. Just don't eat too many, especially if you have to do the glucose tolerance test soon.
