Can i have spinach during pregnancy first trimester?
Im about 7 weeks and my mom keeps making palak everyday saying its good for iron. But i read somewhere too much spinach is not good early on? now im thoda confused whether to eat it daily or limit it. anyone know?
Yes palak is actually very good, full of iron and folate which is great in early pregnancy. Amma made sure I ate greens regularly. Just wash it really well and cook it properly, my gynac said the same.
Spinach is great in the first trimester, good for iron and folic acid. Just clean it thoroughly and cook it well, raw greens can carry germs. I ate it both pregnancies, no issues.
Spinach is one of the safer healthy choices, I leaned on greens a lot. Just make sure its well washed and cooked. Easy iron boost without the sugar worry.
