I love roasted peanuts and chikki, eat them almost daily. Now someone scared me saying it can cause allergy to the baby. Is that true or just talk? Im in my second trimester.
Actually yaar, peanut chutney with idli was my go-to breakfast during my second trimester! It's super safe and healthy unless u have a personal allergy. Just avoid those highly salted packet ones, plain roasted is best.
I read on my pregnancy app that peanuts contain folate which is great for the baby's brain development. I used to track my daily protein intake and added a tablespoon of peanut butter to my morning oats. It's a great, healthy option!
During my IVF pregnancy, I was terrified of eating the wrong thing. My doctor assured me that peanuts are actually a very good source of folate and protein, as long as they are fresh and clean. Eating them in moderation is completely fine, so please don't worry.
Honestly, roasted peanuts were my absolute lifesaver when I had midnight hunger pangs! Easy to eat and no cooking required lol. Now with my newborn keeping me up all night, I wish I could just sleep and eat peanuts in peace!
I have PCOS and was always very cautious about my diet during pregnancy bcoz of sugar risks. I ate a small handful of roasted peanuts daily for healthy fats and protein, and it never caused me any issues. Just make sure you aren't allergic to them, and don't overeat.
Yes, peanuts are highly nutritious, but there's a common myth that they cause allergies in babies, which isn't true unless you already have a peanut allergy. However, it's always best to discuss your diet chart with your gynac just to be on the safer side.
