I felt so guilty eating mangoes because my MIL said they are too 'warm' for the baby, but I craved them so much. When I finally ate one, I felt so happy and satisfied. It's totally fine to enjoy them in moderation, dear.
Mango is safe but eat it in moderation because it can increase your body heat and blood sugar levels. After my miscarriage, I was extremely careful, so I only ate half a mango a day after soaking it in water for an hour to reduce the heat.
I completely understand why you are worried, as there is so much conflicting advice about mangoes causing heat. But honestly, they are very safe and healthy in moderation. Having one small cup of chopped mango a day is perfectly fine and won't harm the baby.
My clinical nutritionist at the hospital told me mangoes are excellent for digestion and immunity during pregnancy. She just advised keeping the portion size in check, especially if you have high blood sugar, so do check with your doctor about your sugar levels.
Beta, mangoes can be eaten but don't eat too many because they produce heat in the body. Always soak the mangoes in water for at least an hour before cutting them, and avoid eating them late at night.
Oh god, I survived on mangoes during my pregnancy! I ate them like crazy and my baby turned out perfectly fine, though now I'm too tired to even cut one. Just eat them and enjoy, but maybe keep a wet wipe handy for the mess!
Yes, mangoes are totally safe and a great source of iron and vitamin C. I used to pack chopped mangoes for my office snack; it's a quick, healthy energy booster as long as you don't overeat.
