I get such bad cravings for parotta these days yaar, second trimester chal raha hai. But everyone says maida is not good. Can i have it once in a while or better to avoid completely?
Arey khao khao, bas thoda dhyan rakhna ki garam garam aur acche saaf jagah se ho. Maida se constipation ho jata hai, toh sath me dahi ya dher sara pani peena mat bhoolna.
I used to crave hot Kerala parottas so much during my pregnancy! I ate them in moderation because too much maida made me feel very heavy and bloated. Enjoy a small portion but don't make it a daily habit.
Yes, you can eat it occasionally, but parotta is made of maida which is hard to digest and can trigger constipation. My app used to show that high-fiber foods are better right now. If you eat it, maybe pair it with some home-cooked veggies.
Eating what you crave brings happiness, which is good for the baby, but eat mindfully. Try to have home-cooked, light meals most of the time to keep your body pure and healthy. Blessings to you both!
Medical terms me bolu toh there's no direct harm, but maida causes major acidity and bloating during pregnancy. If you have cravings, eat one fresh hot parotta occasionally. Just avoid stale ones and street stalls.
Honestly, I've eaten everything from parottas to pizzas this trimester because baby wants what it wants! Just prepare for some heavy acidity later tonight, lol. Keep some cold milk or gelusil ready just in case.
I completely get it, cravings can make you so anxious about what's safe and what's not. Eating parotta once in a while is perfectly fine, it won't harm the baby. Just try not to stress too much about food rules.
