Sometimes after meals I get a strong craving for a simple meetha paan, no tobacco wala. Im in 2nd trimester now and not sure if even the plain one is ok. Anyone had paan during pregnancy?
A plain sweet paan without any tobacco or supari is totally fine once in a while to help with digestion! 🍃 Just make sure the shop is clean and hygienic. Enjoy it as a rare treat!
Having lost a baby before, I became extremely careful and avoided all kinds of paan completely. Betel nut (supari) and tobacco are strictly linked to complications, so why take even a tiny risk? Please avoid it or ask your doctor first.
I had severe cravings for sweet paan in my last trimester. My gynac told me that plain gulkand paan without supari or tobacco is completely fine occasionally. It actually helped with my severe acidity and kept me fresh!
After a very delicate IVF journey, I was super cautious about everything. Plain meetha paan without supari or tobacco is sometimes okay for nausea, but betel nut can be risky for the baby. Please be very careful and check with your doctor before eating it.
Honestly, when my morning sickness was at its worst, the smell of cardamom and fennel in meetha paan was the only thing that helped. But make sure there is no tobacco, kattha, or supari in it. Just a simple fennel-filled gulkand paan is safe and soothing.
I would strongly advise checking with your gynac before eating paan. Even if it's plain meetha paan, some ingredients like betel nut (supari) are not safe during pregnancy. It's always better to ask your doctor to avoid any risks.
