Im craving aam ka achar so badly these days, second trimester chal raha hai. But my MIL says too much pickle is not good. Anyone here eating it, in what quantity is ok?
You can definitely eat a little bit of pickle to satisfy your cravings or help with morning sickness. But since pickles are high in sodium and oil, too much can lead to water retention and severe acidity. Just treat it as a small side-taste, not a main dish!
You can have a tiny portion for taste, but pickles can cause acidity and heartburn which are already common. If you have thyroid or other health concerns, regular follow-ups are necessary to ensure your salt and hormone levels are fine. Ask your doctor if it's safe for your specific condition.
I just delivered my baby two months ago and honestly, pickle was my best friend during pregnancy! It was the only thing that made bland food taste good when I had no appetite. Just make sure it is hygienic and homemade, and drink extra water to balance the salt.
A little pickle is okay for taste, but be very cautious because it has high salt content which can increase your blood pressure. I had BP issues and complications during my time, so my doctor strictly asked me to avoid salty items. Please ask your gynac if you have any swelling or BP issues.
Yes, absolutely! I had massive cravings for spicy mango pickle in my second trimester, and I ate a little bit with my paranthas almost daily. It really helped with my taste buds and didn't cause any issues, I had a smooth normal delivery. Just don't overdo the quantity.
