My saas always says that eating cold things like pastries from outside can cause a cold or cough. So I used to get fresh eggless cakes from a good bakery and eat it when she wasn't looking! A small piece is totally fine, just don't make it a daily habit.
I delivered just two weeks back, and honestly, I ate pastries quite a few times during my last trimester when the sugar cravings were crazy. It did not cause any issues at all. Just enjoy your pregnancy and eat what makes you happy, but in moderation!
My mother always advised me to eat fresh homemade sweets like payasam instead of store-bought cakes. But when I had a huge craving, my doctor said having a slice of pastry occasionally is perfectly fine. Just ensure it is from a highly hygienic bakery to avoid any stomach infection.
Oh mama, go ahead and eat that pastry! Pregnancy is a beautiful but exhausting journey, and you deserve to pamper yourself with your favorite treats. Just a small slice will bring so much joy to you and your baby, don't feel guilty at all.
Actually, you can absolutely have it, yaar! I practically lived on chocolate pastry during my second trimester. Just try to control the portion size so you don't get a sudden sugar rush, but a little treat once in a while is totally fine.
I am in my 18th week and have been craving black forest pastry so much, but I'm scared the sugar or preservatives might not be good for the baby. Is anyone else eating pastries and cakes regularly, or are you all strictly sticking to home food?
I had high blood pressure and gestational diabetes risk, so my doctor strictly asked me to avoid bakery items like pastries. Please check with your doctor first, especially if you have any complications or sugar issues. Safety of the baby comes first.
