Is mango is good for pregnancy?

Question

Mango season is here, and I love mangoes so much. I'm pregnant, and my elders always say to be careful with certain foods. Is mango good for pregnancy, or should I limit it?

Bhagya Parikh · Answer

I was so scared to eat mango in my first trimester because everyone told me it causes heat! But when I asked my gynac, she laughed and said one a day is completely fine and even healthy.

Oh I kept thinking about the sugar content and 'heat' factor constantly. Make sure you don't eat too many, maybe half a mango a day is safer?

Madhavi Panikkar · Answer

Well, I used to soak them in water for a few hours before eating. I had it almost daily in my second trimester and it really helped with my sweet cravings.

Haan yaar, actually mango is perfectly fine to have. I ate so many mangoes during my summer pregnancy and nothing happened, just don't overdo it.

Hansika Panikkar · Answer

It's totally natural to worry about everything we eat, I used to google every single fruit. Yes, mango is safe in moderation, just wash it well first.
