But watermelon don't! I am thriving on watermelon and I am 6.5 months. Watermelons are supposed to be good for the baby! My family in India asks me to even avoid cantaloupe. But I read they are full of folic acid which prevents neural birth defects. I would say anything in less quantity wouldn't hurt. But if I am sure like pineapple/papayas doesn't work with me I will be away from them. Well, I know Pineapple and Papayas cause miscarriages. But watermelon don’t!
