i started snacking on seeds for healthy munching, pumpkin ones included. im 22 weeks. just want to confirm if these are fine during pregnancy or should i go easy on them? anyone added these to their diet?
I've been wanting to try pumpkin seeds for my mid-day cravings but I'm so scared of trying new things! Has anyone else eaten them regularly during their second trimester? Did it cause any acidity?
They are a fantastic snack! I used to toss a handful of roasted pumpkin seeds into my salads and yogurt during my pregnancy, and it really helped keep my energy up. Definitely a great, healthy addition.
Go ahead and munch on them! They are basically nature's tiny multivitamin pills, plus they are much better than eating a whole tub of ice cream (though no judgment if you do that too, haha).
Yes, pumpkin seeds are incredibly healthy as they are full of zinc and magnesium. You can dry-roast them at home for a quick snack. However, if you experience any severe stomach pain or unusual symptoms, always consult your doctor.
They are highly nutritious, but since I had a complicated pregnancy with strict diet rules, I checked every food item with my gynac first. I'd highly recommend asking your doctor once before adding new seeds to your daily diet.
