Sorry typo, I meant can I eat yam during pregnancy. My MIL made it yesterday and I ate a little but then got thoda worried after. Is it ok or should I skip it?
Est yum? I think you mean yeast, right? Actually, my doctor told me to be careful with excessive yeast-containing foods, especially if you have gestational diabetes or yeast infection tendencies. Otherwise, in moderation, like in bread, it's generally fine. Always better to clarify with your gynac.
Having PCOS, I was extra careful about everything I ate during pregnancy because of my health history. I would honestly suggest you ask your gynac about specific food items like this. It's just safer to get a clear green light, especially when you have any underlying conditions.
If 'est yum' means yeast, then normal baked goods that have yeast are fine, like bread. You're not going to be eating raw yeast, right? Just avoid anything very processed or with too many preservatives. Common sense applies here, beta. If it's healthy food, it's generally okay.
Oh, 'Est yum'? Is that some new food or something? I'm just planning my pregnancy now, and this whole food thing is already getting confusing! I guess I'll have to make a list of everything to ask my doctor during the first visit. So many things to know!
After going through IVF, I was extremely cautious with every single thing. My doctor gave me a very strict diet chart to follow. So, for any specific food, it's always best to ask your gynac directly, they know your health history best. Take care, your peace of mind is important.
At my hospital, they had a nutritionist available for all pregnant women. I used to just email them or ask my gynac directly about any food items I was unsure of. It's better to get clear information from your medical team, especially if it's not a common ingredient. Don't hesitate to ask them.
My saas always used to say to avoid anything new during pregnancy, especially if it's something packaged or outside. She'd rather I eat simple ghar ka khana. So I usually just stuck to home food or checked with my mother for anything like this.
