Pregnancy is a very delicate phase in a woman's life. In this period they try to observe a diet aimed at the well-being of the fetus as well as the future’s mother, who often feels deprived of some foods or drinks that previously consumed. Now one question that pregnant women wonder if they can eat the pomegranate or drink its juice without problems. 

Many gynecologists recommend pomegranate juice during pregnancy due to its many properties and the benefits it can bring, especially in this phase. Let's see some of these:

• The pomegranate is rich in folic acid (vitamin B9) which promotes the development of the neural canal of the fetus and prevents the appearance of malformations of the central nervous system.
• Pomegranate juice is rich in Vitamin C and natural polyphenols, powerful natural antioxidants that help to strengthen the immune system which tends to weaken in pregnant women.
• Many women suffer from gingivitis during pregnancy. Drinking pomegranate juice helps prevent oral diseases because it has an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect.
• The slightly acidic and astringent pomegranate juice helps to relieve the very common attacks of nausea and vomiting in the first trimester of pregnancy, as well as it can facilitate the process of food digestion.
• Another benefit that the pomegranate can make during pregnancy is the improvement of the cardiovascular system and therefore of the blood circulation with a slight diuretic effect on the body.
• Pomegranate juice is rich in vitamins and minerals essential for the diet of a pregnant woman. It is also rich in iron and therefore can help to counteract anemia.

It also seems that the pomegranate helps the uterine contractions during labor pains. In fact, a study carried out by a group of researchers at the University of Liverpool, in the United Kingdom, and published on Reproductive Sciences, has identified beta-sitosterol - a steroid contained in particular in the seeds of pomegranate - a natural stimulant to promote the contraction of uterus. In short, at the end of pregnancy, when the baby is about to be born, the pomegranate could speed up the birth.

Although there are significant benefits in drinking pomegranate juice during pregnancy, it is not recommended for those suffering from some disorders such as excessive stomach acid, burning or ulcer, to those who are allergic to some of the many active ingredients it contains or to whom takes certain medications. In these cases it is always better to first hear the opinion of the doctor.
