Im 18 weeks and craving aam ka achaar so badly, literally want to eat it with everything. But my MIL says avoid pickle in pregnancy. Is it really a problem or thoda is ok? pls tell, the craving is real.
I was so worried about the high salt and preservatives in store-bought pickles, so I only ate a tiny piece of home-made pickle. Please watch your blood pressure if you are eating it daily!
Go ahead and eat it, but don't finish the whole jar in one day, haha! A little pickle is great for morning sickness, just keep a glass of water nearby for the heartburn.
It is completely fine to satisfy your cravings, dear, but eat it in moderation. The high salt and oil can cause heartburn and swelling in your feet, so be a bit careful.
I am in my second trimester and literally eating mango pickle with every meal right now! Is anyone else having these crazy sour cravings, or is it just me?
After my IVF journey, I was very careful with everything I ate, but my doctor said a tiny bit of home-made pickle is absolutely fine. It really helped when nothing else tasted good, so enjoy it in moderation.
Yes, you can eat it in small amounts with your paratha or khichdi. Just avoid buying unhygienic local market pickles and stick to clean home-made ones to prevent stomach upset.
Legally and medically, a small amount of pickle is perfectly safe to eat. However, check with your doctor if you have high blood pressure or severe acidity, as the sodium and spices can trigger those.
You can have a little bit, but keep in mind that the high sodium might cause water retention. I only had a tiny bit occasionally and made sure to drink plenty of water and do my daily walks.
Actually, mango pickle was my absolute savior during nausea, yaar! Just don't eat too much of it because of the high salt content, but a little bit is totally fine.
