My grandmother made gond ke laddoo and is insisting i eat them daily saying it gives strength. Im in my second trimester. Is gond fine to have now or better to keep it for after delivery? heard mixed things.
Haan gond toh humare ghar mein khoob banta hai, taakat ke liye. Bas thoda thoda khao na, bahut heavy hota hai. Aur ek baar doctor se pooch lo, har kisi ki body alag hoti hai.
Beta gond ke laddoo are an old favourite, usually given more in winter and after delivery for strength. In moderation many families have it during pregnancy too. But everyone is different, so just ask your doctor once before making it regular.
My saasu maa insisted on gond laddoos for strength, made a whole batch. I had small ones now and then. They mean well, just keep the portion sensible and check with doc if you have any condition.
Be a little careful, the laddoos have lots of sugar and ghee. With my sugar issue I had to skip them. If you dont have any such problem, a small piece occasionally should be fine, but confirm with your gynac.
Gond laddoo are nutritious but they are heavy and ghee loaded, so eat in small amounts. I had one small piece sometimes, not a whole plate. Dont overdo, especially if your weight is being watched.
