Guyabano or soursop (Anona muricata Linn) is a fruit bearing small tree around 7 meters high which is common in Central American and tropical countries like the Philippines. The Guyabano fruit is a pear-shaped or ovoid shape green fruit covered with bendable spikes with thin skin and the soft whitish fleshy and fibrous pulp which a unique sweet-sour taste.

Guyabano helps in preventing pregnancy complications. The guyabano fruit contains folate, which is a mineral for preventing birth defects and miscarriages. However, eating guyabano in large doses can lead to vomiting and suppress the cardiovascular system. This will contribute in the difficulty of the pregnant women in breathing. Eating excessive guyabano may also cause muscle contraction of the uterine smooth muscle which involves the release of the hormone oxytocin into the body before and during childbirth called Braxton Hicks contractions. Oxytocin is also known as the love hormone which is related to orgasm, social recognition, bonding, anxiety and excitement. For pregnant women, this should be avoided because it makes them feel some labor contractions which can be false labor.

In general, guyabano is safe for pregnant women but should be eaten in moderation or with the supervision of a doctor or healthcare provider. It can be risky for pregnant women if taken in large amounts as it can cause breathing problems and feelings of false labor.
