Craving maggi soo badly these days yaar, first trimester aur kuch khane ka mann nahi karta except this. Is it okay to have once in a while or completely avoid? Pls share.
I think having it occasionally should be fine, but maybe we can try to avoid the artificial tastemaker? My friend told me she used to make homemade wheat noodles with lots of fresh veggies. It seems like a safer option when we are trying or expecting.
My MIL was totally against me eating any Chinese food or instant noodles because of the preservatives and MSG. But honestly, when the cravings got too bad, my mother made me home-style stir-fried wheat noodles with lots of carrots and beans. It satisfied my craving and kept the elders happy too!
Yes, you can definitely eat them if you are craving them. Just try to limit the spicy masala pack inside because it can cause bad acidity. Take care of yourself.
Beta, maida is not very good for digestion during this time because constipation is already a big issue. Try to avoid instant noodles if you can. If you really crave it, make some home-cooked semiya upma or atta noodles with light spices and ginger to help digestion.
Oh my god, I had the craziest maggi cravings during my first trimester! Honestly, my doctor told me it's fine once in a while, just don't make it a daily habit. I used to load it up with lots of veggies and boiled eggs to make myself feel less guilty.
Honestly, eat the noodles! Pregnancy is hard enough without denying yourself basic comfort food. Just don't survive purely on instant ramen, keep it balanced with healthy meals on other days.
