Fresh orange juice

Does anyone know if it's safe to drink fresh orange juice. I have drank of my whole pregnancy so far due to constipation and because I love it. But something told me to Google it. Some say yes some say no.

Fresh juice is fine. Unpasteurized juice from store is a risk but fresh juice made at home with well wash fruit is more then fine since you get some fiber from it.

Fresh is best! Drink up!

Watch your sugar levels but that's about it.  Can't have too much vitamin c or d

I'm 29 weeks and I drink a lot of Orange juice about every other day I stop by jamba juice to get freshly squeezed orange juice (too lazy to make my own so early in the morning) but my baby is doing great nothing wrong so far.. I actually heard it's good from so many people better than buying it from a bottle because that has so much sugar than it being fresh.. :)

I feel so sorry for this generation of pregnant women.

Orange juice????  Really?  People tell you you shouldn't drink it?  

The body uses Vitamin C as much as it needs,  and sloughs off the rest in urine.  If you have a cold,  you can take vitamins with concentrations of vitamin c in excess of 500% of your daily allowance,  and you're fine.

There's no way you can drink enough orange juice to do you any harm,  except for the obvious problem of possible heartburn.

I've never heard anything bad about orange juice. Especially if the sugar levels aren't too high it is good for you!

You have to be careful in drinking too much because orange is rich in vitamin C. And vitamin C can induce menstruation and, in high dosage, can induce abortion, as well.

I drink a lot of juice because of bladder infections. I think they over worry about things sometimes.
