Im 4 months and craving vada pav so badly yaar, the roadside wala one. But MIL keeps saying baahar ka mat khao. Is it really that risky or thoda chalta hai? craving is real.
Arey, sometimes having it is fine, but make sure the place is hygienic. Since I had thyroid issues, I had to be very careful with my diet and doc checkups. Just don't make it a daily habit, and keep tracking your health parameters.
Honestly, the main risk with outside street food like vada pav is stomach infection or acidity. If you're craving it, eat from a clean, well-known restaurant rather than a roadside stall. And avoid the raw garlic chutney if it's too spicy for your stomach.
Oh I used to panic thinking even one bite of outside food would harm my baby! But my doctor told me cravings are normal, just eat from a clean place. I had vada pav a couple of times and baby was completely fine, so don't worry, just eat safely.
I had crazy street food cravings during my pregnancy, but I had to cut down because of acidity. After my C-section, recovery was easier because I had eaten healthy, home-cooked food mostly. If you really want vada pav, maybe try making it at home?
Ghar pe bana lo na! It is so easy to make fresh, hygienic vada pav at home, and it's much safer. Outside oil can be reused and cause bad acidity or stomach upset, which is very painful during pregnancy.
