Just found out im pregnant, barely 3 weeks. I usually add elaichi in my tea and now im second guessing every small thing. Is it fine in such early days or should i avoid?
I am 6 weeks pregnant now and I still have my daily cardamom tea, it actually helps with my nausea! Did your doctor say anything specific about avoiding spices in the very early weeks?
Cardamom in daily cooking is totally fine and safe. No need to buy fancy, expensive herbal teas that claim to be pregnancy-safe; normal home spices work best. Better to save that money for your upcoming 8-week ultrasound.
With my PCOS history, I was extremely anxious about every little thing I ate in the early weeks. Normal kitchen elaichi used in daily food is absolutely safe, but don't chew on too many raw cardamoms just to be cautious.
Haan na, normal kitchen spices toh completely safe hote hain. You can comfortably enjoy a little cardamom in your kheer or tea. Bas excess quantity mat lena.
Yes, cardamom in normal food amounts or a cup of elaichi chai is perfectly fine at 3 weeks. Just avoid taking concentrated cardamom oils or herbal supplements containing high amounts of it.
A little cardamom in your tea or meals is wonderful for digestion and completely safe. Keep your mind peaceful, eat simple home-cooked food, and let everything happen beautifully.
I totally understand how we start doubting even the smallest things we eat when we find out we are pregnant, everything feels so precious. Yes sweetie, cardamom in small quantities is totally safe and soothing.
