Strawberries are in season and i really want some but my MIL says cold fruits are not good now. Im 14 weeks. Anyone been eating them without issue?

I felt so good eating fresh fruit during pregnancy, strawberries were my fav. They felt light and refreshing especially during nausea days. Wash them nicely and have without worry.

They are safe but a bit pricey na, so i used to buy them only sometimes. Any seasonal fruit works just as well honestly. Wash thoroughly and enjoy.

My gynac actually encouraged berries, said they have antioxidants and folate which is good. The only thing she stressed was washing them properly since they can hold pesticides. Otherwise totally safe.

Yes ma, strawberries are safe and full of vitamin C. My family used to give me lots of fruits during pregnancy. Just wash them really well before eating, that part is important.
