I'm craving something refreshing, and I love pineapple juice. Is it generally considered safe to drink pineapple juice when you are pregnant, especially in the early months?
Many doctors say a small amount of ripe pineapple is safe, but the core has bromelain which is best avoided. If you're in your first trimester, it's safer to stick to safer fruits like pomegranate.
After my long IVF journey, I chose to avoid pineapple completely just for my peace of mind, as there are so many mixed opinions. It's always best to do what makes you feel safe and comfortable.
Actually, a small glass of fresh pineapple juice once in a while is totally fine in the second or third trimester. Just avoid having too much of it, especially in the early months.
