I have such bad cravings for mithai these days yaar, especially after dinner. saas keeps saying control karo warna sugar ho jayega. is a little bit ok or not?
Actually, instead of store-bought sweets, try making healthy kheer or dates ladoo at home with jaggery. It satisfies the craving and is much better for health. But definitely get your gestational diabetes test done as advised by your doctor to be safe.
My doctor told me that moderate sweet intake is fine, but we must be careful after the 24th week because of gestational diabetes risk. If you have any dizziness or extreme thirst, definitely get your sugar levels checked. It is best to stick to natural sugars like fruits as much as possible.
I am in my 2nd trimester and my sugar cravings are crazy right now, but I get so anxious thinking if it is safe for the baby. Are you guys also eating sweets or completely avoiding them? I really want to know how others are managing this!
Honestly, when I was pregnant, I practically lived on ice cream and laddoos, haha! Now that my baby keeps me up all night, I realize those sweets were my only source of joy. Just don't overdo it, otherwise dealing with post-pregnancy weight is another task!
Oh my god, same here! I literally dream of gulab jamuns every night. Is there a safe limit of sweets we can eat weekly without causing issues? Let me know if anyone's doctor gave a specific quantity limit.
Arrey, chill yaar! Having a small piece of chocolate or a laddu occasionally is totally fine, don't stress too much about it. Just keep everything in limit and enjoy this phase because those cravings are real!
