in indian culture, coconut and its products are considered good for the baby. coconut water is considered very very good during pregnancy. if you use coconut oil in moderation, it should be okay.

Thanks for the response! Was thinking of taking two tablespoon of coconut oil in the morning, maybe that might help??

yes, you can definitely take coconut oil during pregnancy. can also use as a body oil too! :)
