Ay, ampalaya is generally okay to eat during pregnancy, pero dahil bitter gourd can stimulate uterine contractions in large amounts, mas safe kung kaunti lang at cooked well, hindi raw, alam mo, better safe than sorry sa first trimester kasi sensitive pa ang baby! Honestly, check with your OB about your specific diet lang para sure, especially kung kumain ka na ng marami, kasi bawat pregnancy ay iba-iba. Marami sa amin dito nag-avoid lang ng ampalaya during early pregnancy para matulog ng mahimbing, hehe, pero alam ko din may kaibigan na kumain nang normal at okay lang.
