Can i eat bathua in pregnancy?

Question

My mother-in-law made some delicious bathua saag, and I really want to eat it. I just want to double-check if it's safe for me to eat bathua while pregnant.

Yes, bathua is safe and highly nutritious. It has great iron content which is very good for pregnancy.

Actually, I was planning to make some bathua raita today. Is it completely safe to combine it with curd, or does it cause acidity?

Richa Sanghvi · Answer

Uff, I am in my 3rd trimester and too lazy to clean any saag now! But if someone makes bathua paratha for me, I'll happily eat it in moderation.

I felt so relieved when I started eating iron-rich greens like bathua. It genuinely helped improve my Hb levels and made me feel stronger during those exhausting weeks.

Samhita Srivastava · Answer

Haan bilkul, eat in moderation! I practically lived on bathua parathas during my twin pregnancy to keep my iron levels up, though cleaning those leaves was a workout in itself.

Indira Chaturvedi · Answer

I can only share what worked for me—I had bathua saag and raita during winters and had no issues. Just make sure to wash the leaves thoroughly before cooking.

Pooja Chaturvedi · Answer

Since my IVF pregnancy made me extra cautious about everything, I asked my doctor first. She said cooked bathua is perfectly fine, just avoid the seeds and eat in moderation.

When I was staying at my mom's place, she used to make fresh bathua rotis for me. It was so comforting and healthy, just ensure it is cooked properly.
