Can i eat cherry in pregnancy?

My husband brought home some fresh cherries, and I was excited to eat them. Then I remembered someone saying to be careful with certain fruits. Is it safe for me to eat cherry in pregnancy?

Cherries are wonderful for digestion during pregnancy! I used to have a handful of sweet cherries in the afternoon to curb my sugar cravings and help with constipation. Just soak them in water with a pinch of baking soda for 10 minutes to clean them properly.

Cherries are good, natural fruits that purify the blood. In our days, we ate whatever local seasonal fruits were available. Just don't eat them on an empty stomach in the morning as it can cause gas, and always wash them with clean water.

Fresh cherries are excellent for joint pain and swelling because of their natural anti-inflammatory properties. However, if you are experiencing severe swelling in your feet or face, please do not rely on fruits alone and see your doctor immediately.

Yes, cherries are safe and rich in vitamin C. Just be careful to discard the seeds before eating.

I completely understand how stressful it is to double-check every single food item when you are pregnant. But you can breathe easy on this one! Cherries are completely safe and actually very healthy as long as they are washed.
