  •  Basically, you can continue to eat garlic during pregnancy. Because garlic is very healthy and does not contain any harmful substances that could affect your unborn child,
  • Nevertheless, it is important to ensure that you only eat the garlic moderately during pregnancy. It is said to have a low blood-thinning effect. This increases the likelihood of a risk of bleeding during pregnancy.
  • However, that doesn't mean you have to worry about eating garlic. You would have to eat a lot of garlic for this adverse effect.
  • Of course, you may be more sensitive to the tuber during pregnancy and tolerate it less well. If that is the case, simply reduce your garlic consumption. Other pregnant women can not bear the smell of the tuber .
If you like and tolerate garlic, you can continue to eat garlic without hesitation, even during pregnancy. However, consumption is only recommended in moderation. Don't go overboard.
