Craving icecream so badly these days, second trimester me sab kuch khaane ka mann karta hai. My saas says cold cheezein nuksan karti hai but is that actually true? Anyone else having it?
You can eat it, but please make sure it's from a reputed brand and properly sealed to avoid any stomach infection or listeria. We have to be so careful with cold items, so eat only a small portion and avoid it if you have a cold.
You can have it occasionally, but don't get gestational diabetes by overeating sweets, yaar. Treatment and extra diabetic checkups in private hospitals cost a lot of money these days! Save those pennies for the actual delivery and baby things.
Look, ice cream is fine for cravings but don't eat it daily. It's loaded with sugar and empty calories, which isn't great for you or the baby. Buy a small cup, satisfy your craving, and get back to healthy eating.
My mother told me cold things might cause a cold, but my doctor assured me that a little vanilla or chocolate ice cream is totally fine. Just ensure it is pasteurized and don't overdo it if your sugar levels are high.
I had crazy ice cream cravings in my third trimester and had a bit occasionally. Just make sure you don't catch a cough or cold, especially close to your delivery. Coughing after a C-section is so painful, so take care of your throat!
Omg, this is my biggest worry too because I love ice cream! I hope we can eat it without guilt when the time comes. I've heard as long as it's not local unpasteurized kulfi, it's fine.
