Can we eat egg in pregnancy?

Question

I really love eggs but my saas keeps saying garmi karta hai, avoid karo. Im in first trimester and totally confused now. Is it actually safe to have eggs daily?

Ofo, of course you can! Just dont go eating them raw like some Bollywood hero in a training montage. Cook them till the yolk is solid, and you are good to go!

I eat boiled eggs almost every morning, my doctor said it’s great for baby's brain growth. But does anyone else feel a bit nauseous from the smell of boiled eggs during their first trimester? I have to eat it with some black pepper to make it go down.

Listen, eggs are excellent for you and the baby, but only if they are fully cooked. No raw egg cake batters or runny yolks. Keep it simple, eat boiled eggs or a proper omelet, and stay healthy.

With twins, I was practically living on eggs for protein! Eggs are great, just make sure they are fully boiled or well-cooked. No half-fry or run-down yolk, we dont want any unwanted stomach bugs now, do we?

My mother-in-law was a bit hesitant about eggs in the first trimester, but my doctor highly recommended them for the protein content. I made sure to have fully hard-boiled eggs or well-cooked egg curry. It is always wise to follow your doctor’s advice on diet.

Eggs are a wonderful natural source of protein and iron for the baby. I always preferred organic or country eggs (desi ande) boiled properly. If you ever face severe vomiting or stomach pain after eating them, check with your doctor immediately.
