Jamun season has started and mom got a big batch ghar pe. I'm in my 5th month and craving them so badly, but my saas said avoid in pregnancy. Is that true ya can I eat? Pls share.
I just had my baby last month, and during my second trimester, I had a huge craving for jamun. I used to eat a small handful almost every second day. It actually helped with my digestion and morning sickness quite a bit.
Omg I literally panicked during my first trimester because my neighbor told me jamun gives the baby black spots! I called my gynac crying, but she laughed and said it's a complete myth. It is totally healthy to eat them, so pls dont freak out like I did!
Actually jamun is quite cheap and healthy, so it's a great option instead of buying expensive imported fruits. We have to save up for delivery packages and all those upcoming baby tests anyway, so simple seasonal fruits like this are perfect. Just wash it properly so u dont get any stomach infection.
Listen dear, stop stressing over every single food item. Jamun is very healthy for u and the baby right now, just make sure to wash it properly. Have a small bowl when u feel like, it's completely safe and natural.
Since I have PCOS, I've always been very cautious about sugar spikes, even from fruits. But jamun actually has a low glycemic index, so it is quite good for managing blood sugar. Still, better to keep the portion thoda small just to be on the safer side.
Dekho, it's a simple seasonal fruit, nothing to fear. Wash them thoroughly, eat a few, but dont eat them on an empty stomach because it can cause acidity. Keep it simple and eat in moderation.
I am currently in my 5th month and honestly I was also craving jamun yesterday! Do u guys eat it with black salt or just like that? My MIL said black salt is fine, but wanted to ask here too.
Arey, eat it without any guilt! Our elders sometimes make us feel like we are walking on eggshells with food. Just remember not to swallow the seeds, otherwise a jamun tree might grow inside u like we used to believe as kids, haha! Totally safe, enjoy.
Beta, jamun is very good for health in this season, but make sure u don't drink water immediately after eating it as it can cause a bad throat. Wash it with lukewarm water first. If you feel any heaviness, you can drink warm water with a pinch of black salt later.
I know how even small food cravings can make u worry so much, I used to feel the same anxiety before eating anything. Yes, jamun is totally safe to eat during pregnancy. Just wash it really well and eat in normal quantities, dont worry okay!
