My mom makes karela sabzi often at ghar pe and i love it. But now im 4 months along and someone told me to avoid it. is it actually safe na or should i skip it? thoda confused.
I remember having huge cravings for bitter things and ate karela quite often! My little one is a toddler now and completely healthy. Just don't overdo it, having it in normal food quantities is absolutely safe.
Honestly, there is no need to completely ban karela from your diet unless your gynac told you to. It is actually great for managing blood sugar levels. Just eat normal cooked portions and avoid any concentrated bitter gourd juices.
I totally understand how scary it is to eat anything new when you are pregnant, I used to overthink every single meal! But don't worry, eating well-cooked karela in small amounts is generally safe. Just check with your doctor if you still feel uneasy about it.
Beti, karela is very good for health but don't eat too much of it during these months. Cook it well and make sure to remove all the seeds because the seeds are not considered good for the baby. A small portion of cooked sabji once a week is perfectly fine.
Yes, you can have it but please keep it in moderation. I used to eat cooked karela sabji once in a while during my pregnancy, and it really helped with my digestion. Just make sure to avoid drinking the raw juice.
Oh ya, you can definitely have karela! Just don't stress too much about small food items, cooked sabji is totally fine. Just don't drink the raw juice or eat too much of it at once, okay?
Yes, it's totally safe to eat in moderate amounts as part of your normal meals. I had it occasionally before my C-section and had no issues. Just avoid eating the seeds or raw juice as they can sometimes cause stomach upset.
