Watermelon & Bananas dangerous to fetus during pregnancy - a myth?

[Nai]

Obviously whoever said that has never been pregnant in Australia during summer!! Watermelon is perfect food for pregnant women in this heat!! Mmmm I want some now

I ate heaps of bananas with DD too and she is perfect.

I'd have to say MYTH. They are both great fruits for you.

I have eaten them through my pregnancy.. and lots of them. I am into lots of natural stuff and I have NEVER heard this.

I agree with Nai,
I sat and ate 1/2 watermelon to myself with DD1( summer PG) its the most refreshing thing ever
Frozen bananas are yummo too and it keeps the kids happy
I would imagine you would have to eat KILOS of certain fruits and veg for it to be a problem and I cant see anyone being able to eat such quantites, PG or not.
Sounds like a myth to me.

Bananas are a great source of potassium, which many pregnant women are low in. Just watch out you don't eat too many as they can constipate you.

As for watermelon, well my Yin's been yearning for it this summer and my Yang can go to blazes

Yum! I eat banana on toast nearly every morning.... and just bought a watermelon (very $$ one mind you...) to eat because I crave it at the moment......

Nothing wrong with a bit of fruit!
