Q2. What Fruits Should I Avoid for Preventing a Miscarriage?

Ans: Pineapple is generally known to be a harmful fruit during pregnancy. Papaya, peach and wild apple are also best avoided as they are known to induce premature labor and also lead to miscarriage. Consuming these fruits will lead to a widening of the cervix and will cause early labor leading to complications. Avoid eating precut fruits to protect yourself and the unborn baby from infections.
