We are a non veg family and i eat chicken fish regularly. Some aunties are telling me to stop completely now that im pregnant. Is that really needed? im in my first trimester.
Dont stress about this, non veg is totally fine when cooked well. Many of us ate it through pregnancy without any issue. Just listen to your body and avoid anything that smells off or raw.
I had a boiled egg every morning, quick and easy with my busy schedule. Cooked chicken curry twice a week kept my iron up too. Just avoid roadside or reheated old non veg, hygiene is the main thing.
My gynac told me well cooked eggs, chicken and fish are great for the baby's growth. She said avoid high mercury fish and anything undercooked, and wash properly before cooking. Protein intake is really important so non veg helps a lot if you eat it normally.
Yes you can, non veg is actually a good source of protein and iron in pregnancy. Just make sure it is fully cooked, no half cooked or raw stuff. I ate chicken and fish throughout both pregnancies and both my kids are fine.
Oh I was so worried about this, my MIL kept saying avoid non veg fully. Did others continue eating chicken safely? I feel weak without protein but scared also.
In our home fish is a staple so I continued having it during pregnancy. My mother said small fish are good for the baby's brain, and my doctor agreed in moderation. Just keep it fresh and properly cooked na.
