Festival season chal raha hai and so many sweets at home, mann toh karta hai but im worried about the packaged ones with preservatives. Are they safe in pregnancy? what do u all do?
I completely feel your cravings, pregnancy makes us want all the sweets in the world! It is okay to have a piece of packaged mithai sometimes to keep yourself happy. Just try to choose reputed brands to be safe.
Looking back, I ate all kinds of sweets during my cravings! Packaged mithai is safe as long as it's within the expiry date and from a good brand. Just don't overdo it, keep a balance.
Actually yaar, packaged mithai is fine occasionally but fresh sweet shop ones are much better. Packaged ones have so many preservatives and high sugar. Just check the expiry date properly before eating!
I had packaged laddoos and kaju katli throughout my pregnancy and didn't face any issues. I just made sure they were fresh and from a trusted shop. That was my personal experience, but u can always ask your doc if you are unsure.
You can eat it to satisfy your taste, but homemade sweets made with love are always healthier for the baby. Keep your mind happy and don't worry too much about small cravings. Take care of your health.
Because of my PCOS history, I had to be very careful with sugar to avoid gestational diabetes. Packaged sweets can have hidden preservatives and high sugar. Try to satisfy your craving with homemade sweets or limit the portion.
