My family is making lamb leg soup tonight and it looks so tempting! I am pregnant and was wondering if it's safe for me to have some. Please let me know if it's okay for pregnant ladies.
My mother always insisted on giving me aattukal soup for back pain during pregnancy. I checked with my doctor too, and she said it is very healthy as long as it is prepared hygienically.
It is a great high-protein, low-carb option which is good if you are watching your sugar levels. Just don't use too much oil or heavy spices while preparing it.
I can only speak from my own experience, but I had lamb leg soup quite often during my second trimester and it really helped with my leg cramps. It felt very nourishing.
I drank this regularly during my pregnancy and even after delivery. It really helped with my physical weakness. Just make sure you cook it properly at home.
My doctor actually recommended lamb leg soup for bone strength and joints. It has high gelatin and collagen, but just make sure the meat is thoroughly cooked to avoid any bacterial infection.
Oh god, paya soup sounds amazing right now! I am in my third trimester and always tired, but my MIL makes this for my joint pain. Just drink it hot and keep the spices low so you don't get crazy acidity.
Paya soup is a traditional superfood for pregnant women across India. It helps with calcium intake, but just consume it in moderate quantities and avoid outside unhygienic soup stalls.
