Eating oranges during pregnancy will not cause jaundice in your baby.

Does eating oranges during pregnancy lead to jaundice?

The main cause of jaundice in your baby is abnormal bilirubin metabolism. Bilirubin accumulates in the body. If it exceeds a certain level, jaundice will occur. This is usually related to factors such as excessive bilirubin production in newborns, insufficient bilirubin metabolism in the liver, and defective bilirubin excretion capacity, rather than pregnant women eating oranges. Orange is a common fruit, rich in vitamin C and other nutrients. Pregnant women can eat oranges and other fruits with confidence,

but they should pay attention to proper amount and maintain a balanced and diversified diet to ensure the health of themselves and the fetus.
