After meals i have this habit of eating meetha paan, its almost daily for me. Now im 3 months pregnant and wondering if i should stop. is it harmful or okay occasionally?
My MIL offered me paan after meals out of habit but I politely skipped the ones with supari. I just stuck to plain food. Elders mean well but tobacco wala paan is best avoided now.
A rare plain sweet paan probably wont hurt, but anything with areca nut or tobacco should be avoided. The safest move is to ask your gynac if you are unsure. I just chose to skip it during pregnancy.
Beta if you mean paan with tobacco or supari, please avoid it completely, its not good in pregnancy. Plain meetha paan once in a while is a different thing but still keep it minimal. Anything with tobacco is a strict no.
