Mom made methi paratha today and i suddenly remembered ki kisi ne kaha tha methi avoid karo in pregnancy. Im 14 weeks. Is methi leaves actually a problem or its totally fine in normal sabzi amount? confused, pls tell.
Eating fenugreek leaves as part of a meal is absolutely safe and good for iron levels. Just avoid taking concentrated fenugreek seeds or extracts as they can sometimes trigger contractions.
My MIL makes fresh methi saag for me and says it's great for digestion. It is totally safe to eat in food amounts, just make sure to wash the leaves thoroughly.
My mom used to make delicious methi parathas for me during my second trimester. It is completely safe as part of your normal diet and very nutritious too.
Methi leaves in normal food quantities like sabzi are fine, but please do not take any supplements or concentrated methi water without checking with your gynac first.
