Honestly, when I was at Fortis, the dieticians there made a whole customized chart for me. It is better to just ask your hospital staff or gynac once during your next visit because every pregnancy is different. They will tell you exactly how many to eat according to your health.
Yes dear! I used to eat soaked chuara daily, it's super yummy and healthy 😋. Just limit it to 1-2 pieces a day so body doesn't get too hot. Enjoy your pregnancy phase!
I used to have 1-2 chuara daily with my morning milk to keep energy levels up during office hours. Just don't overdo it because they are heavy. Keep it simple and eat in moderation, no need to overthink this.
I had thyroid issues throughout my pregnancy so my doctor was very strict about my diet. I kept asking her about everything including chuara, and she told me how much is safe for my blood reports. Regular checkups and asking the doctor is the best way.
I personally used to eat 2 chuara daily soaked in water, especially during my last trimester. It really helped me with constipation and stamina. But that was just my experience, everybody's body reacts differently.
My mother-in-law told me chuara gives good strength and is traditional, but I still asked my doctor first. She said having one or two soaked in milk is totally fine. Always good to take advice from elders but double check with doctor.
Please be very careful with what you eat, especially in the early months. I had a loss before, so this time I completely avoided dates and chuara till my third trimester just to be safe. Do ask your doctor first before eating these heat-producing foods.
Better to check with your gynac once before adding anything new to your diet. Some moms are told to avoid it in early months because it can cause body heat. Just a quick call to your doctor will keep you stress-free.
