It’s completely normal to feel confused about what traditional foods are safe or not. Vallarai keerai is usually known for brain health, but in pregnancy, herbs can sometimes cause stomach upset if taken in large quantities. Just check with your doctor once to put your mind at ease.
When I checked my pregnancy food tracker app, vallarai keerai was marked as safe but only in limited, cooked quantities. It has great nutrients, but herbal greens can sometimes trigger uterine stimulation if eaten excessively. Always consult your gynac first to be safe.
Oh my god, I get so anxious about eating any local herbal greens like vallarai keerai. I read that too much herbal stuff can cause stomach issues during pregnancy. Please talk to your gynac before adding it to your soup or chutney, it's better to be absolutely sure.
Haha, everyone told me to eat vallarai keerai for the babies' memory, but my doc said moderation is key and not to eat it daily. Too much of these herbs can actually run your stomach, and trust me, you don't want digestive drama during pregnancy!
