Im 3 months pregnant and my MIL keeps saying dont stand in kitchen too much, rest karo. But I actually feel fine and like cooking. Is it ok to cook myself or should I really avoid it?
I cooked throughout my pregnancy, and keeping active actually helped me. Just make sure the kitchen is well-ventilated because cooking smells can trigger nausea.
If your pregnancy is normal, light cooking is fine, but if you have complications like a low-lying placenta, standing for long is not safe. Please ask your doctor what is allowed for you.
Cooking is generally fine, but always ask your gynac if you have any specific restrictions like bed rest. Your safety and the baby's safety come first!
My mother-in-law was worried about me standing near the hot stove, but my doctor said light cooking is perfectly fine as long as you don't strain yourself. Just listen to your doctor and your body!
I felt so exhausted in the first trimester that I couldn't stand the smell of tadka. I took a break from cooking then, so listen to how your body feels and don't force it.
