My MIL made til ladoo and gave me but then my cousin said til is not good in early months. Im only 9 weeks so now im a little confused, is it actually fine na? anyone ate sesame during pregnancy?
I had a tough pregnancy, so my doctor told me to avoid too much sesame seeds in the first trimester just to be extra safe. It is always better to ask your gynac what is safe for your body specifically, especially early on.
Beta, traditionally we say to avoid too much til (sesame) in the first few months as it is considered 'hot' for the body. You can have a little bit later on. For energy, try eating soaked almonds instead, but always consult your doctor first.
Yes you can absolutely eat them in moderation, don't listen to all old myths. Just don't go eating whole boxes of til laddus at once. If you are still worried, just ask your gynac in the next visit.
Oh god, I ate sesame on my burger buns and some til chikki too, and everything is fine here in my 8th month! Unless you are eating a kilo of sesame seeds daily, it is totally fine. But ugh, pregnancy cravings are so weird!
Eating a little bit of til in your daily food is perfectly fine, God has made our bodies very strong. Just keep your mind positive, eat healthy home-cooked meals, and don't worry too much. Take good care of your health!
Honestly, a little sesame in your normal food is absolutely fine and won't cause harm. I used to carry sesame chikki for quick office snacks sometimes. Just don't overdo it, stick to normal home-cooked meals.
