Can I eat mangoes during early pregnancy?

In general, it is acceptable for pregnant women to consume mangoes in moderation during early pregnancy, though this should be determined based on individual constitution and health status.

Mango is a nutrient-rich fruit, containing abundant vitamin C, vitamin A, dietary fiber, and minerals such as calcium and iron. Vitamin C helps boost immunity and facilitates iron absorption, offering positive effects on both maternal and fetal growth and development; vitamin A supports fetal visual development and immune system formation; dietary fiber aids in preventing constipation during pregnancy and promotes intestinal health.

The sweet and tangy flavor of mango may help alleviate common early-pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness and improve the appetite of pregnant women. The various vitamins and minerals in mango can supply essential nutrients for pregnant women and support healthy fetal development. Additionally, the dietary fiber in mango helps stimulate intestinal motility and prevent constipation during pregnancy.

Although mango is nutritious, excessive consumption may lead to elevated blood sugar levels and increase the risk of gestational diabetes. Mango contains certain proteins and other substances that may trigger allergic reactions. Pregnant women who are allergic to mango should avoid consuming it. Even for those without known allergies, it is advisable to start with a small amount when trying mango for the first time and observe any physical reactions.
