My mom keeps telling me to add alsi seeds in my food for omega and all, but somewhere i read its not good in pregnancy. Im in my 2nd trimester now. Confused yaar, anyone been eating it safely?
Gosh, I remember panicking about every single food item, yaar! Flaxseed was one of those things I researched a lot. My doc eventually told me small amounts are usually fine for most, like a spoon in oats. Don't stress too much, just double check with your doctor for peace of mind.
Actually, I ate flaxseed powder sometimes with my dahi or smoothie during my pregnancy. It's supposed to be good for fibre and all. My delivery was totally normal, and my doctor never told me to stop it. Bas, moderation mein khaana.
I felt so overwhelmed with all the food dos and don'ts during my first pregnancy. For flaxseed, I remember my MIL said no, but then my friend said yes. So I just asked my gynac, and she said a small sprinkle is fine, just not handfuls. Always trust your doctor's advice over everything else.
I was very careful with my diet during pregnancy, and my nutritionist actually suggested a little bit of flaxseed for Omega-3s. But she strictly said to check with my gynac first for anything new. So, maybe just ask your doc if it's fine for your specific case, especially depending on which trimester you are in.
Oh honey, I totally understand why you'd be asking this, we worry so much about every little thing during pregnancy, right? For flaxseed, my doc said a little bit is okay but not too much, especially later on. Best to ask your gynac once, just to be super safe and put your mind at ease.
