We eat baingan a lot at ghar and my saas suddenly said avoid it during pregnancy. Im 16 weeks and confused now. Is there any real issue with it or just an old belief? pls share.
I totally get why you are asking this, pregnancy anxiety makes us question every single food on our plate. Yes, you can eat brinjal, just make sure it is cooked well and not too spicy. Take it easy and enjoy your meals!
I am in my 2nd trimester and was actually wondering the same thing because my MIL told me to avoid baingan. I've been slightly anxious about eating it, did anyone else eat brinjal during their pregnancy without any issues?
Brinjal is generally safe if well-cooked, but if you have any acidity issues or doubts, it is best to check with your gynac. They can give you the best dietary advice based on your health. Better to be safe and clear all your doubts with your doctor.
In our family, elders sometimes say brinjal causes heat, but my doctor assured me it is perfectly safe in moderate amounts. Just make sure it is washed thoroughly and fully cooked. Trust your doctor's advice over old myths!
I totally understand how hard it is to balance what you want to eat with what people tell you. Cooked brinjal is absolutely fine and has good nutrients, so please don't stress. Just have it in moderation and eat with a happy heart!
