I love til ki chikki especially in winter but my saas said avoid til when pregnant, she thinks it can cause problems. im in first trimester so thoda scared now. is this true or just a myth? anyone know?
Sesame seeds are actually a great source of calcium and iron. I used to sprinkle a tiny bit on my salads after my light doctor-approved walks. Just avoid eating them in large quantities during your first trimester to be safe.
Oh my god, I accidentally ate a til ka laddoo in my first month and literally cried thinking it would cause a miscarriage! But my doctor reassured me that small amounts do no harm at all. Try not to overthink like me, just eat in moderation.
Because I had a few complications early on, my doctor strictly advised me to avoid any foods that are traditionally considered "hot," like sesame seeds, in the first trimester. It's always best to ask your own gynac what is safe for your specific body.
I was very cautious due to my PCOS history, so I completely avoided til (sesame seeds) in my first trimester. Later, my doctor said having a little bit in food is absolutely fine. It's better to avoid large amounts like til laddoos just to be on the safer side.
During my pregnancy, I had a little bit of sesame seeds in my food and faced no issues. Even after my C-section, eating sesame-containing foods in moderation helped with my strength. Just eat normally and don't stress too much.
Honestly, I craved til-chikki so much in my second trimester! I had small bites here and there and both me and baby were perfectly fine. Just don't go overboard eating a whole box at once!
