Can watermelon be eaten during pregnancy?

I was so worried about gestational diabetes that I almost stopped eating all sweet fruits, including watermelon. But my doctor reassured me that in moderation it is completely safe and healthy. Just don't overdo the quantity to be safe!

Haan na, pregnancy mein hydration bahut zaroori hai aur tarbuj se achha kya hai! It is very safe and helps with swelling too. Bas road-side cut kiya hua mat khao, ghar pe fresh cut karke khao.

I basically lived on cold watermelon during my third trimester because I couldn't sleep from the heat. The only downside? It is 92% water, which means you will be waking up to pee every twenty minutes. Enjoy, but maybe avoid it right before bed!

Watermelon is generally safe, but since I had borderline gestational diabetes, my doctor told me to strictly limit my fruit portions. If you have any ongoing health complications or high sugar levels, please check with your doctor before consuming it daily.

Did anyone else get told by elders that watermelon is 'thanda' and might cause a cold during early pregnancy? It made me so nervous to eat it. My doctor said it's a myth, but the anxiety is real!

Unless you are swallowing the seeds and expecting a watermelon tree to grow in your tummy, you are absolutely fine! It's one of the healthiest snacks you can have right now. Go enjoy your cold fruit bowl!
