Just found out im pregnant, like 6 weeks only. I used to have flax seeds in my smoothie daily but read somewhere first trimester me avoid karna better hai. Is that true, anyone had them early on?
I felt so scared when I realized I had accidentally eaten some flax seeds in my 6th week. I immediately called my mother crying, but she told me a tiny amount won't hurt. Thankfully everything was fine, but I avoided them completely after that.
During my initial scans at Apollo, the clinical nutritionist explicitly advised avoiding flax seeds in the first trimester. They can sometimes mimic estrogen and affect the pregnancy. It is always safer to double-check with your doctor's team before eating them.
Beta, garam cheezein jaise alsi (flax seeds) shuruati mahino me nahi khani chahiye. If you have digestion issues, try having a glass of warm milk with a little fennel or a simple banana instead. Keep it traditional and safe.
In early pregnancy, it's generally recommended to avoid flax seeds because they are believed to cause uterine contractions in large amounts. I skipped them entirely in my first trimester and only had normal home food. Better safe than sorry!
