My mom keeps soaking badam every morning and telling me to eat for the baby. I like them but eating daily makes me wonder if too much is okay during pregnancy. Anyone know how much is fine?
Badam is generally safe, but make sure not to overeat them because too much 'heat' in the body is sometimes avoided in the first trimester. Since I had some early complications, my doctor advised soaking them first to make them easily digestible. Please check with your doctor once about what suits you.
I don't know the exact medical rules, but personally, I ate 5-6 soaked and peeled almonds every single day of my pregnancy. My mother always said it helps with energy and baby's growth, and it worked well for me.
Absolutely, badam is very healthy, I used to eat 5-6 soaked almonds every morning. Since I had thyroid during pregnancy, my doctor also suggested a balanced diet, so definitely ask your gynac or nutritionist about your daily diet plan too.
I am in my 5th month and my MIL is forcing me to eat soaked badam daily, but sometimes they give me mild acidity. Does anyone else get acidity from almonds, or is it just me? I want to eat them for the baby but it's hard.
Yes dear, almonds are wonderful for the baby's brain development. Just soak them overnight, peel the skin, and have them with a calm mind in the morning. May God bless you and your baby with good health.
Eat them without worry, they are great for energy! Carrying twins meant I had to double my healthy fats, so badam was my go-to pocket snack. Just soak them to avoid heat and carry a handful wherever you go.
