Its so hot here yaar and im 5 months pregnant, suddenly craving ice gola from the thela outside. Mann to bohot kar raha hai but im scared about the ice and colour they put. Is it fine or no?
My mother-in-law was completely against eating cold things like ice gola during pregnancy, saying it causes cold. But when I asked my doctor, she said the real issue is the unhygienic water, not the cold itself. So I avoided the street ones and made a simple juice popsicle at home.
Haha I wanted to eat the whole gola cart when I was pregnant! Honestly, my brain was totally fried but my doc strictly said no to outside ice. So I just chewed on plain ice cubes from my fridge to survive the craving, sleepless nights are better than stomach upset!
Cravings are totally normal, but street ice is a big no-no because of contamination risk. If the water source is bad, u can get typhoid or a bad stomach infection which is risky right now. Try making a clean version at home if u can't resist!
I would say please ask your gynac before eating anything from local street stalls. The ice they use is often not safe and can cause infections. It's always better to take your doctor's advice on street foods.
Oh I literally gave birth last month and I had such massive cravings for ice goola during my third trimester! But honestly, my husband made it at home using RO water ice because outside water can give u an infection. Better to avoid street vendors.
I literally cried once because I ate half a gola and then got terrified about infections! But nothing happened, I was completely fine. Just try to avoid outside ice from now on to keep your mind at peace, it's a very common craving.
I know how hard these cravings can be, especially when u want something cool. Since my journey was IVF, we were extra careful about any outside food to avoid infections. Maybe u can try making a safe syrup and ice slushy at home to keep yourself safe and happy?
