Im just 6 weeks and craving something sweet badly. Was thinking gur instead of sugar but then i heard early pregnancy mein garam cheezein avoid karo. Is jaggery safe right now?
With twins, my cravings were double but so was my caution! Jaggery is fine in moderation, but don't eat whole cubes of it. Keep it to a minimum because early pregnancy is sensitive and we don't want to trigger any stomach upset.
I used to eat a tiny bit of jaggery in my tea because I was trying to avoid sugar. It didn't cause any issues, but honestly, in early pregnancy, just eat what your stomach can actually digest without throwing up!
There is no need to avoid jaggery completely, just limit the quantity. Instead of white sugar, you can use a tiny bit of organic jaggery in your milk or kheer. It's a cheap and healthy way to get iron, but keep it moderate.
I completely panicked when I accidentally ate a big piece of jaggery chikki in my 6th week because someone told me it causes miscarriage! My gynac laughed and said a little bit of jaggery is absolutely fine. So relax, just eat in moderation.
I had terrible morning sickness and couldn't digest anything sweet, but a tiny piece of jaggery sometimes helped with the metallic taste in my mouth. Just don't overdo it because too much sweet can make nausea worse.
Haan, thoda sa jaggery kha sakte ho par zyada mat khana, especially in the first trimester. Hamare yahan bolte hain na ki gud garam hota hai. So just a small piece is fine to satisfy your sweet cravings.
