My nani used to say sesame seeds are good for health, but now I'm pregnant, I'm not sure. Can I safely consume sesame seeds during pregnancy? I want to be careful with what I eat.
Please be very cautious with this. I had some bleeding complications early on, and my doctor strictly advised me to avoid sesame seeds and papaya in the first trimester. It is always best to run this by your gynecologist before consuming it.
Honestly, having a few sesame seeds on your burger bun or in a salad won't do anything. But drinking sesame seeds or eating a whole lot of til laddoos is a bad idea during pregnancy. Just keep it out of your diet and ask your doc if you are worried.
Arrey na, humare yahan toh bolte hain ki starting ke months mein til bilkul nahi khana chahiye kyunki yeh garam hota hai. Baad ke months mein thoda chal jata hai. Safe side ke liye doctor se pooch lo na ek baar.
Actually, there is a common myth that sesame seeds cause miscarriage, but a tiny amount in food is completely harmless. However, drinking sesame seed water or consuming them in large amounts, especially in the first trimester, is not recommended. Just check with your gynac once to be completely tension-free.
I love keeping up with my fitness and clean eating, but only things cleared by my doctor. When it came to foods like sesame seeds which are traditionally avoided, I strictly followed my gynac's advice. Do check with your doctor before adding it to your routine.
During my early pregnancy, my elders strictly told me to stay away from sesame seeds because they are 'garam'. After my C-section, I realized we worry about so many small food items. If you really want to have them, maybe wait till the second trimester and ask your doctor.
