Can eating 2-3 lemons at every meal harm an unborn baby?

Answer 1

Citrus - the acid in limes and lemons will take the enamel from your teeth if your eating them straight by themselves whether pregnant or not.

I am NOT a doctor, just a mother of four. I would say definitely - YES. We all know that citrus fruits contain vitamin C and that helps the body absorb IRON. When I ran anemic with my oldest daughter, it was advised to take my IRON pill with Orange Juice to aid with absorption. OH YES. I ATE THEM THE WHOLE TIME I WAS PREGNANT AND MY BABY GIRL IS FINE Eating citrus will not harm you at all, in fact some recommend them to help calm the morning sickness down. Vitamin C is good for you! eat all you want :) One word of warning, as citrus fruit is very acidic it is a good idea to rinse your mouth with fresh water after eating them as the teeth are less strong while pregnant. Don't clean them with a toothbrush as this will rub the acid in.

Answer 2

Yes - it is safe and it helps during morning sickness. But I would make sure the lemon tea is not mixed with black tea or other type of herbal tea.

Answer 3

Well its an urban ledgend. I cant help and it cant hurt.

Answer 4

No, eating lemons is not harmful to the baby. However, eating lemons undiluted is very harmful to the enamel on your teeth since they are very acidic. Moderation is the key.
