I'm having such strong cravings for jalebi these days! It's my favorite sweet. But I'm also worried about sugar intake. Can I eat jalebi occasionally during pregnancy, or should I avoid it completely?
You can have a very small piece to satisfy your craving, but make sure it is bought from a very clean, hygienic shop. After what I went through, I always advise being extra careful with outside food during pregnancy.
Arre bilkul khao! Pregnancy is not a punishment. Unless your doctor has specifically asked you to avoid sugar, eating one or two hot jalebis is absolutely fine.
Listen, don't restrict yourself too much. A happy mother makes a happy baby! Just eat a fresh jalebi in moderation, and drink plenty of water after that.
I had a massive craving for hot jalebis! I directly asked my nutritionist at Fortis, and she said one small piece occasionally is perfectly fine, provided gestational diabetes screening is normal.
I had intense sweet cravings and ate jalebis sometimes. Just make sure you stay active; even after my C-section, walking helped me shed the extra weight from those sweet treats.
Be very careful if you have high sugar or gestational diabetes. I ignored my sweet cravings, and it caused complications, so please ask your doctor before eating sugary sweets.
You can eat a piece to satisfy the craving, but don't eat it daily. We need to save up for delivery and pediatric costs, and avoiding unnecessary health issues like high sugar will save lab test fees too.
