Just found out im pregnant, around 6 weeks. Paneer is like my main protein since im veg. But read something about soft cheese being risky in pregnancy and got confused if normal ghar ka paneer is also included. anyone clear this up?
Paneer is a brilliant cheap protein option, I relied on it a lot instead of costly supplements. Just buy fresh from a trusted place or make it at home. Cook it properly and you are sorted.
Yes paneer is great in pregnancy, good protein and calcium. Just make sure it is fresh and from pasteurised milk, and cook it well rather than eating it raw. I ate paneer dishes all the time both pregnancies.
Paneer is fine and healthy, the only caution is it should be fresh and made from pasteurised milk. Avoid raw or old paneer. Cooked paneer dishes are a good protein source, my gynac encouraged it.
