Everyone at ghar keeps telling me to have a spoon of ghee daily, says it helps with delivery. But im also worried about gaining too much weight. Im in 5th month. Kitna is okay actually?
Yes, you can definitely eat ghee, it is very good for your joints and gives you energy. I had a spoon of homemade ghee daily, which really helped me stay strong during pregnancy and later while breastfeeding. Just don't overdo it.
When I was at my parents' house, my mom used to put a little ghee on my dal and khichdi. She said it helps with digestion and gives strength. It's very safe and healthy to have in limit, beta.
Oh, my saas was putting spoons of ghee on everything I ate, saying it will help in normal delivery! While that is a myth, ghee is definitely healthy in moderate amounts. Just eat a little bit daily, it is good for the baby too.
Of course you can eat ghee, dear, it is actually quite healthy. But don't listen to people who tell you to eat for two and drink cups of it. Just a teaspoon or two daily on your rotis is more than enough.
I have heard from my elders that a little ghee is very good for overall health when you are expecting. It helps in keeping the body strong. Just make sure it is pure and eaten in moderation.
I asked my clinical nutritionist at the hospital about this, and she said moderate ghee is fine but avoid overeating it if you are gaining weight too fast. It's always best to ask your hospital dietician to plan your daily fat intake.
I'm in my 6th month and my family keeps telling me to eat lots of ghee. Honestly, does it really help with normal delivery or is it just an old story? I'm having a spoon daily but too much makes me feel nauseous.
