I usually start my morning with warm water and honey, its kind of a habit. Now that im 8 weeks pregnant my MIL said avoid honey, but im not sure why. Is it actually fine in pregnancy or should i stop?
I panicked when someone told me honey has bacteria that is bad during pregnancy, but later my doc clarified that normal pasteurized honey is completely safe for adults. I had it daily in the morning for my sore throat and it was totally fine!
It is a great, simple remedy if you are suffering from acidity or morning sickness. Just squeeze half a lemon and a spoon of honey in warm water. It's cheap, natural, and works wonders instead of taking medicines.
Yes, warm honey water is perfectly fine and actually helps with digestion or a sore throat. Just make sure the water is not boiling hot and use good quality, pasteurized honey. Don't overdo it though, a spoon a day is enough.
I always prefer home remedies like honey and ginger for mild coughs or nausea during pregnancy. But remember, if you have a high fever or severe chest pain, don't rely on honey water and consult your doctor immediately.
Though warm honey water is generally considered safe, it's always best to ask your gynac during your next visit. Sometimes if you have gestational diabetes, honey might spike your sugar levels, so caution is good.
