Oh absolutely! I used to eat boiled black chana almost everyday when my little one was in my tummy. Now he is a toddler running around, but back then, chana with some lemon juice was my favorite evening snack. It is super healthy and safe, so don't worry at all.
Of course u can eat chana, but make sure it is cooked well. Raw chana might cause gas and acidity issues in early pregnancy. Don't overthink every small food item, just eat in limit and keep yourself hydrated.
My mom used to make black chana chaat for me during my first trimester as a light evening snack. It was so comforting to be at my ghar pe during that time. It's totally safe and good for energy, just have it fresh.
Honestly, I am in my third trimester right now and so tired of the endless food restrictions. Chana is totally fine, just be ready for some extra gas, haha! I have black chana almost every week for protein, otherwise this pregnancy energy is absolutely zero.
Roasted chana is actually great, it helped me a lot with mild morning nausea in my first trimester. But if you have extreme stomach pain or bloating, please check with your doctor once. For normal days, boiled or roasted is very safe.
I am in my 5th month now and I also had this same doubt in my first trimester. I ate roasted chana and it was fine, but did anyone else get crazy gas after eating it? I keep worrying if minor bloating is normal or not.
