Bitter gourd during pregnancy

Hi, I am 5th month pregnant. Should eating bitter gourd be avoided during pregnancy? I eat sometimes in moderate amount. But heard that it should not be eaten during pregnancy. Is it true? Thanks Saroja

Hi. You should avoid papaya & pineapple. You can eat everything else in moderate quantities. Also, prefer home cooked fresh food. All the best!
