Sitaphal is my favourite and its the season right now. But ghar pe everyone says custard apple is thanda and not good in pregnancy. Im 5 months, can i have it or no?
Because I had a history of bleeding early on, my doctor told me to stick to very basic fruits and avoid anything too heavy or sweet at first. Sitaphal is generally fine, but if you have any complications, please check with your gynac once before eating.
Oh god, I overthought this so much and googled if the seeds are toxic or if the cold nature would cause a miscarriage! But actually, my doc laughed and said it's totally fine to eat the pulp. Just don't swallow the seeds and don't overeat!
When I was at my parents' house, my father used to bring fresh sitaphal from the market just for me. My mom would deseed it so I could eat it easily without any effort. It’s absolutely safe and very healthy for the baby.
Yes, you can absolutely eat sitaphal, it is rich in vitamin A and C which is great for baby's skin and hair. Just treat it like any other fruit: eat it in moderation and during the daytime. No need to overcomplicate simple food.
My mummy and saas both said sitaphal is very good for health as it has iron and fiber. I used to eat one small custard apple in the afternoon, it's totally safe. Just don't eat it cold at night otherwise you might get a sore throat.
I felt so happy when sitaphal season came during my second trimester, because it was the only sweet thing my stomach could tolerate. Eating it fresh made me feel so energized when I was otherwise feeling very weak. It is totally safe and natural.
Sitaphal is a great natural energy booster before your daily walks, provided your doctor has allowed light exercise. It has good calories, but keep an eye on portion sizes. I used to eat half a cup of pulp and then go for my evening 20-minute stroll.
I have heard from elders that sitaphal is very nutritious and rich in vitamins. Since we are trying to conceive, I've started eating more seasonal fruits. I hope it is safe for early pregnancy too, please do let me know if anyone knows.
I just delivered last month and literally ate sitaphal throughout my autumn pregnancy months! It really helped with my morning sickness and constipation. Just wash it properly and enjoy the seasonal fruit fresh.
Sitaphal is super sweet and can spike blood sugar levels quickly, so be very careful if you have gestational diabetes. I had GD and had to strictly limit my portions to just a few bites. Always check your sugar levels and ask your doctor.
