Yes: Olives and Mediterranean diet in general is shown to be beneficial and healthy for all. In pregnancy it is safe and also beneficial to the fetus/offspring’s development. No particular side effects have been found in research. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6566280/ Also, wash off any preservatives before eating.
