Can eating too many Clementine's be bad for the baby?

Lsandy89 · January 2011

Im 35 weeks pregnant and for the past few months I have had the habbit of eating clementine's all day. talk about pregnancy cravings I eat probably 5 or 6 at one time.. no more than like 10 a day. give or take some days were i eat just one. but i know there's vitamin C in them but can too much be harmful for the baby?!

I actually have been eating about 5 a day lol... I doubt it's bad for the baby, it's just fruit.

I've been eating a lot of these as well. Don't think it will hurt.

I hope not. I have been a citrus fruit junkie during this pregnancy. It seems to help with the chronic thirst.

Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin...you just pee out what you don't use/need. No harm with eating Clementines

I doubt it, I was addicted to them w/ DD!!!

I hope not! I eat a ton of them too.. along with oranges and grapefruits!

I've been eating a ton of these also! I like most fruit, but I'm huge on clementines right now!

I heard somewhere before that that caused some sort of harm, not quite sure what, due to this chemical they contain. Good news is you have to eat like 3 crates for it to affect you, which at that point im sure you would have thrown up the 1st crate.

Well...just wanted to add that while I passed my 3 hour glucose test, one of my levels was high so my ob told me no fruit juice and not to eat clementines (and similar intensely sweet fruit...but if you have no issues processing the sugar, I don't see a problem. I remember after my first I ate a ton of them every day while nursing b/c I was so hungry and thirsty.

This. We flush out excess Vitamin C so you are fine. I've been obsessed with clementines as well. Also with OJ!

Oh my...I ate A TON of these while pregnant with my little man...I would go buy one of the crates every few days. My little guy came out just fine. Although he does have red hair...might be connected

These are my obsession too! At least it isn't a nutrition-less fried food or something right?!

ascar29 · January 2011

If they are bad for the baby then our baby is in BIG trouble!! It was my biggest pregnancy craving, I eat at least a crate a week, closer to two!
