After my IVF journey, I was so careful about my snacks. Roasted makhana was my absolute favorite because it is high in protein and very gentle on the stomach. It's a wonderful, safe choice for you and your little miracle, so enjoy it without any worry.
I felt so hungry during my second trimester and makhana was my savior! It really helped me with my midnight hunger pangs, and honestly, knowing it was good for my baby made me feel so happy and guilt-free while eating.
I remember panicking when a relative told me some warm foods shouldn't be eaten, and I stopped eating makhana! But then I asked my doctor and realized it's totally safe and extremely nutritious. So don't listen to random advice, roast some makhana and enjoy your snack time.
Haan, absolutely you can eat it, in fact, it is much better than munching on chips! Makhana is rich in calcium and keeps you full. Just dry roast them with a pinch of salt and black pepper, but don't buy those store-bought flavored packets which have too much sodium.
Makhana is actually very safe and incredibly healthy during pregnancy. I was terrified of eating anything after my previous loss, but my doctor reassured me that roasted makhana is full of calcium and perfectly safe. Just roast them gently at home with a little ghee.
