Craving mutton curry so bad this week but my mom said avoid it, garam hota hai. Im 14 weeks now. Did any of u eat non veg during pregnancy without issue?
Yes, mutton is very good for your strength and iron levels, beta. Just cook it nicely at home with light spices so it doesn't cause acidity, which is very common in pregnancy.
You can definitely have mutton, but avoid semi-cooked preparations like tandoori or kababs that might be raw inside. Make sure it's cooked at high heat (like a proper curry or pressure-cooked) to kill any bacteria. It's great for raising your hemoglobin levels.
I am in my 5th month and having crazy mutton cravings, but I'm so scared of getting stomach infections. Did any of you eat spicy mutton curry during your second trimester? Did it cause any acidity issues for you guys?
Yes, mutton is completely safe and an excellent source of protein and iron, but my doctor specifically warned me that it must be cooked exceptionally well. Raw or undercooked meat can cause toxoplasmosis, which is dangerous for the baby, so make sure it is pressure-cooked thoroughly.
I asked my chief dietician at the hospital about meat consumption. She advised me to strictly eat only home-cooked, well-done mutton and avoid restaurant gravies because of hygiene and excess oil.
Oh God, I survived on mutton curry during my second trimester! Just make sure it is super well-cooked and not from some random street stall unless you want to spend your pregnancy in the washroom. Enjoy the mutton while you can, before baby comes and you eat cold food!
I love mutton but since we are trying to conceive, my mother-in-law advised me to eat it in limited quantities as it produces body heat. Is it safe to eat it regularly if we get pregnant?
Mutton is perfectly fine and healthy, dear, but eat it in moderation. Just ensure it is completely soft and cooked thoroughly at home, and try to avoid heavy, greasy outside curries.
