I'm in my first trimester and craving mithai so much. Is it okay to indulge in some sweets or should I completely avoid them during pregnancy? Meri mummy mana kar rahi hain.
Honestly, outside sweets are too expensive and sugary. I used to keep dates or dry fruit laddus ready at home. Whenever I had a craving, I just ate one piece and it worked so well without harming my health.
When I was staying at my mum's place, she used to make healthy kheer with jaggery for my cravings. It felt so comforting and safe. Just have a small piece of whatever u like, but let your family make it fresh at home, dear.
I actually read a lot on this because I have a huge sweet tooth. My doctor told me that having a little bit is totally fine, but we should avoid too much sugar because of gestational diabetes risk. Try to stick to home-made sweets or fruits instead of outside mithai with artificial colors.
Listen, craving sweets is totally normal, but don't go overloading yourself daily. Eat a small piece of chocolate or a laddu when u feel like it, but keep it in check. Control is key, otherwise u will unnecessarily gain too much weight.
