Is watermelon safe to eat at 12/13 weeks pregnancy ?

Question

Hi All
I am currently 12.5 weeks pregnant. I have read mixed reviews on consuming watermelon. Is it or isn’t it safe to eat?
TIA 🙏🏼💖

Answer

Why wouldn’t it be?!

Answer

It’s quite safe. Probably what you’re hearing is concerns about listeria or other bacteria. Some time ago, there was an outbreak traced back to cantaloupe. The bacteria was on the skin, so when people cut it without washing it, some got sick. Pre-cut foods also have a greater risk of this, since cutting surfaces can get contaminated. So while (not pre-cut) melons which are washed before cutting are really safe.

Answer

Yes! Plus it helps with hydration!
