Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw peeled cucumber is safe, hydrating, and beneficial throughout pregnancy. It delivers gentle hydration, potassium, and vitamin C while being exceptionally easy on sensitive, nausea-prone stomachs. CDC advises rinsing whole cucumbers under running water prior to peeling so that a knife or peeler does not transfer bacteria into the flesh. Slice peeled cucumber into chilled spears for a cooling snack, or dip them into pasteurized hummus.
