Pregnant women can eat strawberries. Consuming strawberries in moderation helps replenish essential vitamins, supports digestion and nutrient absorption, and promotes fetal development. Additionally, strawberries can help moisten the intestines and relieve constipation, thereby preventing pregnancy-related constipation. However, intake should be moderate—avoid eating excessive amounts at once. Since strawberries are relatively high in natural sugars, overconsumption may increase the risk of gestational diabetes.
