My mom keeps making ragi dosa and ragi malt for me saying its good, but my MIL says thanda hota hai avoid karo. Im so confused yaar. Is ragi actually safe during these months? pls share what u all did.
Oh, I remember panicking when my MIL made ragi roti for me, thinking it might be too 'hot' for the body. But my doctor laughed and said it is completely safe and actually great for the baby's bones. So relax and enjoy it!
In our family, we always give ragi malt to pregnant girls as it is our traditional superfood. My mother-in-law used to make it daily for me, and my doctor also confirmed it's excellent for calcium. It's very safe, but check with your doctor if u have any specific digestive issues.
Haan, I had ragi porridge almost every second day during my pregnancy. It kept my hemoglobin levels really good and also helped with constipation. I delivered a healthy baby boy recently and my recovery was also quite smooth!
Honestly, ragi is a lifesaver! I make ragi dosas with lots of ghee and yummy coconut chutney to satisfy my savory cravings. It's super healthy and doesn't give you those crazy sugar crashes.
When I asked my nutritionist at Cloudnine, she highly recommended ragi. It is amazing for calcium and iron. But do ask your own hospital dietician once to know how much portion is right for your daily diet.
