Hi,
Welcome to the ehealthforum. I am glad to help you out.

The vegetables and fruits which you have mentioned are absolutely safe in pregnancy and you can consume them without worrying about anything.

They won’t harm your baby. Beta carotene is beneficial for the growing foetus. Bitter gourd and black grapes are rich in antioxidants which are also good for the foetus.

Hence, you can consume them without any worry. I sincerely hope this helps. Take care.
