It's fine to eat or drink pregnant! When it comes to have GD or concerns about your sugar no juice is good to drink? They all have sugars and high levels of it! I'd stick to water and maybe one glass a day. There isn't really much for fruit or any food That can hurt your baby. Most if any like fish and sea food raise the fear of listerosisis causing food poisoning (which can happen with any food at any time) or having levels of mercury.  So no it will not hurt your baby..

Im sure its safe to eat during pregnancy however i dont know that it will help bring down blood sugar. I have gd and my doc told me try and stay away from fruit because of the natural sugars. But i would ask.
