Can saun eat during pregnancy?

Question

I sometimes crave saun (fennel seeds) after meals, especially for digestion. I wanted to confirm if it's safe to eat saun during pregnancy. Is there any limit or anything I should be aware of?

Rohini Singh · Answer

Haan na, saunf khanyane acidity khup kami hote. Just limit the quantity, everyday ek chhota chammach is fine.

Amrutha Anand · Answer

Yes, saunf is totally fine in small quantities. It helps with bloating too.

Aarti Talwar · Answer

For mild indigestion, normal home remedies like a pinch of saunf are great. But if you have severe burning or vomiting, please contact your doctor instead of self-treating.

Oh, saunf was my savior! Whenever I felt like throwing up, chewing a few seeds of saunf really helped settle my stomach.

Mansi Senapati · Answer

Saunf is good for lactation later on too! During pregnancy, I used to have half a spoon after heavy meals, never had issues.

Oh, I was wondering this too because I crave sweet saunf (mukhwas) after dinner. Is it fine to eat the restaurant ones?

Sudha Bansal · Answer

Post my C-section, my mother gave me lukewarm water boiled with a little saunf to help with gas. It is very soothing, but take it in limit.

Laveena Mehra · Answer

Eating a little saunf after meals is great for digestion and costs nothing compared to buying expensive antacids. Just don't buy those fancy colored sugar-coated ones.
