Litchi, also known as ‘lychee’ or ‘lichee’ is a tropical fruit that has a sweet smell and taste. It tastes delicious but apparently it is not safe for consumption during pregnancy as it is known to raise blood sugar levels and lead to gestational diabetes. Litchis may also contribute to infections and result in haemorrhage. Hence, litchis should be avoided during pregnancy. However, if you still want to eat them, we recommend that you consult your doctor or dietician about the same.
