Can grapes harm my pregnancy?

[Spockrates]

Just saw an article about how pregnant woman should avoid grapes when I've beeDn eating an entire pack of them every night 😭I didn't know I am 19 1/2 weeks pregnant anyone eaten grapes in pregnancy what was your experience please??

I can't imagine they are harmful except being very very sugary! I would not be eating a whole box a day!

Don’t be silly.

Eh? Grapes? What on earth would be wrong with grapes?

Stick to NHS food advice and don't use anything else.

Use the nhs website.

Never heard of this in my life, sounds like bollocks. Relax and eat the grapes!

What was the reasoning in this article? Never heard this before so suspect it's another nonsense thing like many other pregnancy myths

I have never heard that. As long as washed I’m sure they are fine.

probably wouldn’t eat that many though just because can give an upset tummy if eat too many pregnant or not pregnant. When I’m feeling “blocked up” grapes help me go.

practically lived off grapes with my pregnancies as it was all I could keep down at times. Crack on with the grape munching I say!

EAT THE GRAPES!

Go with the nhs advice. Grapes are not on the avoid list.

You will find a website somewhere on the wide web that tells you water, sunlight and breathing air are harmful to pregnancy.

Ignore all but NHS advice. Grapes are fine (wash all fruit and veg)

What??

Seriously, get a grip. That is absolutely ridiculous.

This 👆🏻

Are you really asking if anyone has eaten grapes during pregnancy? Yes. Yes, lots of people have. They are a common food.

Only if you're a Labrador. And you mustn't eat chocolate either.
NHS 111 if you're worried. Online rather than phoning as they're probably busy with emergencies today.
And congratulations !

I found that it was only the ‘grapes’ hanging out of my bottom that caused issues in pregnancy 😂

😂

They didn't do any of my pregnancies any harm 🤷‍♀️

🙄 I think I'm going to start a Christmas Eve Mumsnet bingo game.

Op, eat the grapes...you'll be fine and Merry Christmas.

Ignore all but NHS advice

To be fair, even NHS advice is a bit OTT, and/or out of date. Just crack on, and don't worry, the worry will do you more harm.

Ive been eating red grapes, maybe a punnet a week, and will continue to do so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Only harmful if you're diabetic and your sugars rise.

Otherwise, eat the grapes.

What's the reason you shouldn't eat them?
I craved them in one of my pregnancies and ate loads. No ill effects.

111 is for urgent medical help, not general queries about grapes.

You’ll be fine OP.

A whole packet a night does seem excessive though… hope they’re keeping you regular.

No health concerns

but why every night and an entire punnet?? Your teeth and your digestion must be interesting!

A lot of the food advice doesn’t have much scientific evidence anyway and varies country by country.

Grapes are fine but a whole punnet daily surely wouldn't be helpful ! They are really sugary

I come from place of experience of eating a lot of sugar in pregnancy and birthing an 11lb baby off the back of that. No GD.

I give no shits about the health side tbf
