I am 5 months and suddenly craving strawberries badly, but mostly I feel like eating them at night. My saas says no fruits after evening. Is it actually a problem at night or just an old belief? Anyone?
I used to panic thinking even a single fruit at night would give me gestational diabetes or acidity! But honestly, it is totally fine. Just don't eat too many right before sleeping, and you'll be perfectly fine.
After my miscarriage, I got super paranoid about eating anything at night. Strawberries are generally safe, but please wash them thoroughly in warm water. If you feel even slightly unsure, just ask your doctor first.
I had a few complications during my pregnancy, so I became very careful about what I ate, especially at night. Please consult your doctor once to make sure fruits at night won't trigger acidity or gestational issues for you.
My doctor told me that strawberries are rich in vitamin C and folate, which is great. But eating raw fruits late at night might cause acidity or gas in some women because digestion slows down. So try to eat them a bit before sleeping.
Strawberries are usually fine, but honestly, it's always best to check with your gynac once before adding anything new to your night routine. Every pregnancy is different, so safety first.
In our home, elders say not to eat cold fruits late at night as it might cause a cold. But my doctor said it is perfectly fine as long as they are washed properly. Do what makes you feel comfortable!
