Im 7 weeks and craving a proper mutton curry like crazy. But few people told me to avoid it in the early days so now im confused. Is it okay to have it or should i wait? pls share ur experience.
Hey, don't stress too much about eating mutton! Just ensure it's cooked thoroughly at home and not too oily. Avoid street-side mutton dishes to prevent any stomach infections.
Yes, you can eat it, but make sure it is completely cooked and not spicy. During my early pregnancy and later after my C-section, I preferred simple mutton soup as it was gentle on my stomach and gave me strength to recover.
I ate a small portion of home-cooked mutton curry in my 8th week but was so anxious if it was safe. Now in my 2nd trimester, I feel it's fine if cooked well. Did anyone else eat red meat in early weeks?
Mutton is actually an excellent source of protein and iron, which you need. Just skip the heavy restaurant curries and stick to clean, hygienic home-cooked versions. Raw or undercooked meat is a strict no.
I felt so repulsed by the smell of meat in my first trimester, but my doctor said it's very nutritious if you can digest it. If you have cravings, go ahead and eat well-cooked mutton, just don't overeat.
In my husband's family, my MIL told me to avoid mutton in the first trimester saying it causes body heat. But my mom said light mutton broth is fine. I had it in small quantities and it was totally fine.
