I had a craving for pineapple juice yesterday and after drinking it i suddenly remembered people saying pineapple is not good in pregnancy. Now im a little tense because im only in my first trimester. Is it actually harmful or just a myth?
Beta, our elders always said avoid pineapple, especially early on, it is just a careful habit. A little piece never harmed anyone in moderation. But if you feel unsure, skip it and have other fruits na.
I personally avoided it especially in the first trimester, just for my own peace of mind. Not saying it is dangerous, I was just extra careful after my loss. Whatever helps you feel calm, do that and check with your doctor.
A normal serving of pineapple or its juice is fine, all that scary talk is about eating it in huge amounts. I had it sometimes in both pregnancies, no problem. Just dont drink glasses and glasses of it daily.
The worry is mostly an old belief, normal amounts are generally considered okay. But if you have a sensitive history or any risk, it is best to ask your gynac before having it regularly. Better to confirm than guess.
