Can Eating Black Plums During Pregnancy Cause Medical Complications?
Hello doctor..I m kavitha..my neighbor said eating black plum ( jamun) is really dangerous during pregnancy. Is that true? Another question is many saying to sleep on left side during pregnancy. Can I flip over to right side and sleep when I m uncomfortable on left side? Please help me with my doubts doctor
No, black plum is full of nutrients and minerals. It does not cause any harm during pregnancy. On the contrary, fruit consumption should be increased during pregnancy. It will provide you nutrients. Black plum has blood sugar lowering effect. If your blood sugar is low then avoid it. Otherwise it will not any harm. Include other fruits also. The best sleep position during pregnancy is sleep on left side. Sleeping on your left side will increase the amount of blood and nutrients that reach the placenta and your baby. But constantly sleeping on left side for whole night is uncomfortable. So you can change your position in between as comfortable for you. Keep head of your bed slightly elevated to prevent regurgitation of food. Thanks
