Can pregnant women eat potatoes?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Certainly, it can be said that pregnant women consuming some potatoes and other tuberous foods in moderation is beneficial to their health in every way. Since potatoes are high-starch foods, their carbohydrates can replenish the energy that pregnant women lack due to nourishing the fetus (sugar). However, it must be done in moderation, as excessive consumption can also cause high blood sugar reactions during pregnancy.
