I love sambar and have it almost everyday. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm being careful with my diet. Is it generally safe to continue eating sambar during pregnancy?
We eat sambar almost daily in our home and it is very nutritious with all the dal and veggies. My mother-in-law always told me to add a little hing to avoid gas, but I also double-checked with my doctor and she said home-cooked south Indian food is perfect.
You can definitely have sambar dear. It has dal and veggies so it's actually quite healthy for you and the baby. Just try to make it less spicy so you don't get acidity.
It is totally fine to eat, just keep the salt a bit low. I had thyroid during my pregnancy, so I was always very careful about my diet and made sure to get my levels tested every month. Do check with your gynac about your routine diet plan.
Go ahead sweetie, you can eat it without any worry. Just make sure it is freshly cooked at home and not too spicy. Take care of yourself, eat small meals, and stay happy.
Oh absolutely! When I was pregnant, I felt so happy eating warm homemade sambar rice, it was pure comfort food. I actually cried one day because I wanted it so badly and my husband made it for me.
Of course you can, and honestly, home-cooked sambar and rice is the best way to save money and stay healthy. Hospital deliveries and baby vaccinations are becoming so costly nowadays, so eating simple home food helps avoid stomach issues and extra doc visits.
Sambar is absolutely fine. When I was admitted for my delivery, the hospital nutritionist actually included mild sambar in my meal chart. If you have any doubts about spicy foods, you can easily message your hospital care team or gynac.
