A: Ofcourse you can eat it..Just like anything else even brinjal has to be eaten in moderation but there is no harm in eating it. It keeps a check on gestational diabetes which is common during pregnancy. It also regulates the electrolyte balance and cholesterol levels. It increases the red blood cells count. Helps in treating digestive issues by reducing constipation. It decreases the risk of hypertension and enhances immunity as it has a lot of vitamin C. Being rich in vitamin A, E, B complex and niacin it helps in the growth of the foetus. Just keep in mind a few things while consuming brinjal that it should be washed thoroughly before cooking since it grows in soil that is rich in toxoplasmosis which is said to cause premature delivery. Eating it in excessive quantities may cause allergies. In some women it can cause acidity which can be very comfortable and it is for this reason it is said to avoid it in pregnancy.
