My saas keeps telling me to have sonth ke laddu for strength, par im in my first trimester and a bit confused if its ok. Anyone had it during pregnancy? Will ask my gynac too na.
In my IVF journey, I became extremely cautious about anything 'hot' like sonth. I personally avoided it completely in the first trimester just to have peace of mind. If you feel like having some, maybe just have a tiny pinch and see how your body feels, dear.
Why take sonth when you can easily use fresh ginger? It's much cheaper, safer, and works wonders for gas and morning sickness. Just boil a small piece of fresh adrak in water, that's a much simpler and safer option.
My MIL was very strict about this and said sonth ki taseer garam hoti hai, so avoid it in early months. But later in my third trimester, she herself gave me some in milk for joint pain. Ghar ke elders know best, but keep the quantity very less.
Sun, don't stress too much about every little spice! A pinch of sonth in your ginger tea is totally fine and actually helps with nausea. Just don't make heavy sonth laddoos right now, okay? Chill, u are doing great.
When I was pregnant, my gynac strictly told me to avoid concentrated herbs like sonth in the first trimester. It's always best to call your hospital care coordinator or mail your dietician there before trying these things. They give proper customized diet charts.
Honestly, my brain is fried from no sleep, but I remember asking my mom this. Thoda sa sonth in your food or tea is fine, but don't go eating spoons of it! Pregnancy me already acidity se dimaag kharab hota hai, too much sonth can make it worse.
