I've been on a fruit kick lately, and one of my absolute favorites is watermelon. Cold, chilled, crisp, sweet watermelon. I used to be a huge fan of honeydews, but not while pregnant, apparently. The spouse has been good lately in keeping chopped watermelon ready-to-eat in the fridge for me. :-)

Watermelon eases heartburn and reduces swelling; its high water content (92 percent) and fruit sugars alleviate morning sickness and dehydration; and the minerals it contains can help prevent third-trimester muscle cramps. - Watermelon Wonders onFitPregnancy
