Mom made kaddu sabzi today and i suddenly remembered we should be careful in first trimester. Im just 7 weeks so extra cautious. Is pumpkin ok or should i avoid? anyone knows.
You can safely have pumpkin as it is very nutritious. After my C-section, I was told to eat easy-to-digest foods like pumpkin and bottle gourd to avoid constipation, so it's a great choice from early on.
Absolutely, having pumpkin is very gentle on the stomach. I ate it throughout my pregnancy and even now while breastfeeding because it keeps you hydrated and is easy to digest.
According to my doctor, pumpkin is rich in Vitamin A, folate, and fiber, which are great for early pregnancy. Just make sure to wash it properly and cook it thoroughly before eating.
It is totally fine to eat pumpkin, but just keep an eye on how it is cooked. I had gestational diabetes, so I had to avoid adding sweet or jaggery to pumpkin dishes, otherwise it is very healthy.
Yes dear, I ate pumpkin in my early pregnancy and it was completely fine. I felt it actually helped with my digestion because it is so light and easy on the stomach.
