Im 16 weeks and we eat mutton at home almost every weekend. My MIL keeps saying its too heavy now but i really crave it. Just want to know if its ok or how much is fine, anyone been eating it through pregnancy?
Red meat can be a good source of iron and protein, but it must be cooked thoroughly, never pink inside. Avoid raw or undercooked meat completely. If you eat it well cooked and hygienic, its generally fine, but confirm your diet with your gynac.
The key is full cooking and moderation. Well cooked red meat actually helps with iron, which a lot of pregnant women run low on. Just no rare or undercooked stuff at all.
