My mom got a big batch of fresh nellikai and keeps insisting I eat it daily for immunity. I love it actually but thoda unsure if it's fine in pregnancy. Anyone been eating it?
It is quite safe to eat and actually very low in sugar, which is great. When I had gestational diabetes, I had to watch every single bite of fruit, but a small piece of nellikai with a pinch of salt was totally fine and didn't spike my levels. Just avoid those sugar-syrup sweet amla murabbas.
I can't give medical advice, but personally, I used to eat one fresh nellikai daily with a little black salt during my pregnancy. It worked wonders for my morning acidity, though please check with your doctor if you have any doubts.
Oh God, nellikai (amla) was my savior during early morning sickness days, and honestly even now in my 3rd trimester when I'm tired of walking around with this heavy belly. Go ahead and eat it but don't eat too many at once otherwise you'll be running to the washroom even more.
I totally understand how we doubt every little thing we eat because we want the absolute best for our baby! Yes, darling, nellikai is completely safe and actually very healthy for both of you. Eat a little bit daily and don't worry, you are doing great.
My pregnancy tracker app recommended eating amla because it is packed with Vitamin C and iron, which helps with baby's development. I logged it daily in my food diary and never had any issues. Just eat it fresh rather than pickled or processed.
Yes, you can absolutely have amla, it is rich in Vitamin C and very good for immunity. After my long IVF journey, I was super careful about everything I ate and my doctor said moderate amount of fresh nellikai is completely safe and healthy. Just take it step by step and enjoy this phase.
