Winters chal rahe hai and im craving gajar ka halwa so bad. But MIL said avoid carrots and sweets in early pregnancy. Im 7 weeks. Is it actually a problem or she's just being extra careful?
My mother suggested eating fresh home-cooked food always. Halwa made at home is safe and clean, so you can definitely have a small bowl. But if you have any doubts, always check with your doctor.
Yes beta, you can eat it but make sure it is made at home with clean ingredients. Don't put too much sugar, and add some almonds. It is healthy but eat it in moderation.
Carrots are great, but since halwa has high sugar, keep an eye on your portion size. I had thyroid and had to monitor everything, so I always kept my doctor in the loop. Do check with your gynac during regular visits about your diet.
Since it is early pregnancy, you should be very careful with sugar levels and outside food. I had some complications in my early weeks, so my doctor told me to strictly avoid heavy sweets. Please consult your gynac first.
Haan, you can eat it! My saas actually made hot carrot halwa for me because carrots are good for eyes. Just make sure the milk and ghee used are fresh.
I felt so happy when my mom made carrot halwa during my first trimester, it was the only sweet I could digest! It felt like pure comfort food during those tired days. Just don't overeat it.
