My sister got me some brussel sprouts and im wondering if i can eat them now. Trying to add more green veggies in my diet this trimester. Anyone been eating these regularly?
I felt so anxious about what to eat in my first pregnancy. When I had roasted sprouts, they tasted good but made me a bit bloated, so I switched to simpler ghar ka khana.
When I was at my mum's place, she used to cook fresh, local veggies for me instead of imported ones. If you want to eat them, just make sure they are fully cooked and not raw.
They are great for digestion and natural folate, but eat them well-cooked. If you ever feel heavy bloating or stomach pain after eating them, definitely talk to your doctor.
Honestly, I couldn't even stand the smell of vegetables during my first trimester! But if you can tolerate them, they are very nutritious. Just wash them super thoroughly to avoid any stomach bugs.
They are packed with vitamin C and fiber, so they are definitely good. Just don't eat them raw or in salads, as pregnancy immunity is low and you want to avoid bacterial infections.
I was very cautious due to my previous complications, so I avoided any raw or semi-cooked exotic veggies. Please consult your gynac about your diet list to be absolutely safe.
