Im in my second trimester and suddenly i want gulab jamun and chocolate all the time yaar, never was a sweet person before. Is it okay to have these cravings or should i control? curious if others felt the same.
You can have them, but try not to let sweets replace nutritious food. I used to go for a 20-minute walk after having any dessert, as my gynac allowed light exercise. It really helped manage my energy levels and weight.
Of course you can have sweet cravings, hormonal surges do crazy things to your taste buds. I literally survived on chocolate ice cream in my second trimester. Just get your glucose tolerance test done on time to rule out gestational diabetes.
It is completely okay to feel anxious about whether what you are eating is safe or not. Craving sweets is very common and usually harmless. Just enjoy a little bit without stressing, stress is worse than a piece of chocolate!
Mujhe toh lagta hai har pregnant aurat ko meetha khane ka mann karta hai. Maine toh bohot peda aur halwa khaya tha. Apne mann ko mat maro, bas thoda dhyan se khao.
Personally, I feel sweet cravings are completely normal. Just try to limit bakery items and opt for homemade sweets like nachni kheer or dry fruit laddoos.
Your body is working so hard to grow a tiny human, so feeling like eating sweets is totally valid. I remember crying because my husband got the wrong brand of ice cream once! Be kind to yourself, it is all part of this beautiful phase.
Beta, craving sweets is normal, older people say it's just the baby's demand. You can eat a small piece of gur (jaggery) or homemade kheer occasionally. But don't overdo it, balance is important during these months.
I felt so guilty every time I ate a whole bar of chocolate, but the cravings were just unstoppable! It's such an emotional ride, and sometimes you just need that sweet comfort. Enjoy it in moderation, mamas!
Craving sweets is super common, but try to satisfy it with natural things like dates or sweet fruits instead of processed sugar. It's much healthier for the baby. But if you have extreme fatigue or excessive thirst along with it, please check with your doctor.
Sitting here in my 36th week, literally staring at a box of gulab jamuns as we speak. My feet are swollen, I'm exhausted, and sweets are the only thing keeping me going right now. Eating for two is my favorite excuse!
I would say go ahead but keep track of tests like gestational diabetes, which can add to medical bills if complications arise. I planned my diet carefully to avoid extra hospital tests and charges later on. Staying healthy saves a lot of hospital costs!
My mother-in-law used to make payasam for me whenever I had cravings, saying it keeps the mind happy. However, my doctor advised keeping a check on sugar intake, so I ate sweets only in small portions. Trust your gynac's advice on this.
Haan na, meetha khane ka toh alag hi maza hai pregnancy mein! Mera toh roz dinner ke baad ice cream khane ka mann karta tha. Bas health ka thoda dhyan rakhna padta hai.
I had insane cravings for jalebis and milk during my pregnancy. I just followed my heart and ate what I wanted, but in limited portions. For me, it was completely fine and my baby was perfectly healthy.
After my previous loss, I was extremely careful with everything I ate, including sweets. I kept checking with my doctor if cravings meant any deficiency. If you feel any unusual symptoms, always ask your gynac just to be safe.
