Hello, pregnant women can safely consume strawberries. Strawberries are rich in amino acids, fructose, citric acid, malic acid, pectin, beta-carotene, vitamins B1 and B2, and various minerals—all of which support fetal growth and development. Additionally, strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, which helps prevent gum bleeding. They also contain iron, which effectively helps prevent iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
