Eating garlic during pregnancy does not usually have a serious effect on the fetus. However, garlic is a spicy and stimulating food and should be consumed in small amounts.
Garlic is rich in nutrients. Every 100g of garlic contains 149kcal of energy, 33.1g of carbohydrates, 6.4g of proteins, 2.1g of dietary fibers, as well as 31.2mg of vitamin C, 401mg of potassium, 181mg of calcium, 25mg of magnesium and other trace elements. Eating garlic can supplement the above nutrients and promote the growth and development of the fetus.
Therefore, pregnant women can eat garlic in small quantities as long as they are not allergic to it, and it will not cause adverse effects on the fetus. However, raw garlic is a spicy and stimulating food, eating too much of it may cause some stimulation to the stomach of pregnant women, so pregnant women should try to eat it in moderation and not overdo it.
