Actually, gond is warm in nature, so many doctors suggest avoiding it during the first trimester to prevent excess body heat. My doctor said it's great for postpartum recovery, but during pregnancy, moderation is key.
Traditionally, our elders give us gond laddus, but it is best to have them in moderation during the later months. Avoid them in the first trimester. A small piece with warm milk in winter is usually fine.
Gond laddus are super healthy but they are packed with sugar and ghee. Since I had gestational diabetes, my doctor told me to avoid them. Please get your sugar levels checked before having them.
To be practical, one laddu is fine if you don't have sugar issues. But don't eat them like regular sweets because they are very heavy to digest. Better to consult your gynac first.
I asked my hospital's nutritionist about this during my regular checkup. She said having a small one in the second or third trimester is fine, but to avoid them in the hot summer months. Always verify with your medical team.
My MIL made a big box of these, but I am so scared of having them because of the heat! Did anyone else eat gond laddus in their second trimester without any issues? I'm thinking of asking my doctor first.
