Beta turai (sponge gourd) is a very light and good sabzi for pregnancy, easy to digest. We always made it in our house. Just cook it well and fresh, no problem at all.

Yes it's totally fine, very light on the stomach which is great when u have nausea. I ate it often. Just have it well cooked, not raw.

We call it beerakaya and ate it a lot, it's gentle and good. My mother said light veggies like this are perfect during pregnancy. No issues unless ur doctor has told u to avoid something specific.

Turi is so underrated honestly, makes a nice simple sabzi when u dont want anything heavy. I had it through my pregnancy with no trouble. Add a little ghee, yum.
