Can i have ice cream during pregnancy?

Question

Im craving ice cream so badly these days, esp in this heat. But my saas keeps saying thanda cheez se cold ho jayega aur baby ko problem. Is it actually okay to have once in a while?

Of course you can! Baby deserves some cold sweet treats too, just make sure you don't eat the whole tub in one sitting.

Go for trusted brands so you don't get food poisoning, which means extra doctor bills. A small scoop once in a while is perfect.

I literally crave chocolate ice cream every night! Is it okay to eat daily or should I limit it?

Romila Pandey · Answer

Beta, don't eat it too late at night or you might get a cold. Stick to eating a little bit during the afternoon.

Yes, you can have it in moderation. Avoid it if you have a cold or if you're tracking gestational diabetes, otherwise it's fine.
