Figs are excellent during pregnancy. They helped me immensely with my low iron levels and kept my bowel movements smooth. Just eat 2-3 soaked figs daily, don't overeat as they can be quite warm for the body.
According to my pregnancy tracker, figs are a great source of potassium, iron, and calcium. They are perfect for healthy baby bones and managing blood pressure. Just log your portions to stay within healthy limits!
I felt so weak in my second trimester, but when I started eating 2 soaked figs every morning, my energy levels got much better. They are a natural superfood. Definitely include them in your diet.
Actually, even my mom told me to eat figs (anjeer) because they are rich in iron. I am in my 4th month now, is it safe to eat them daily or only sometimes? How many should we eat?
Yes, figs are very healthy. I have heard they have good calcium and fiber. It might be better to soak them overnight in water and eat them in the morning.
Anjeer are a bit expensive but totally worth it. Just buy a small packet from local dry fruit shop, soak 2 pieces at night, and eat them first thing in morning. No need to buy costly supplements if you eat natural things like this.
