My mom made sundakkai vatha kuzhambu and it's my fav but suddenly im doubting if its ok now. Im 5 months along. Just dont want to eat anything that's not safe. Anyone know?
I was also craving sundakkai vatha kuzhambu the other day but got so scared to eat it! Did anyone else eat it during their second trimester? I ended up having just a little bit, but I'm still a bit nervous about it.
Because of my past pregnancy complications, my doctor told me to be very careful with herbal or strong traditional ingredients. Sundakkai is generally fine, but please ask your gynecologist before adding it to your regular diet, just to stay safe.
Listen, sundakkai is actually very rich in iron and good for health. But eat it in moderation, don't overdo it. There is no need to completely stop eating traditional foods unless your doctor has specifically asked you to avoid them.
When I was pregnant, the nutritionist at my hospital gave me a list of allowed traditional foods. Sundakkai was fine in small amounts, but I would suggest you double-check with your hospital dietician on your next visit just to be absolutely sure.
Yes, you can eat it, it's very good for digestion and iron. Just make sure it is washed properly and cooked well at home. No need to buy expensive supplements if you can get nutrition from simple home-cooked sundakkai.
