Garlic: Yes. You can eat it. Be careful, garlic causes more gastro-esophageal reflux.

Probably safe: If not done excessively, it should be safe to eat garlic during pregnancy just like any other fruit or vegetable. Discuss further with your obstetrician. Continue to monitor your blood pressure with your physician. Benefits of treatment should be weighed against risks during pregnancy.
