Made til laddoos at home and my mom said avoid til in pregnancy, it can be harmful. But i love them na. Is it actually true or just a myth? Im in second trimester. Anyone knows?
I felt so guilty when I accidentally ate a piece of til barfi in my first month because I thought it was dangerous. But my doctor reassured me that small amounts are completely safe, and my baby was born perfectly healthy.
Beta, traditionally we avoid eating too much til in the first three months because it is considered 'garam'. After that, a little bit of sesame is actually good for calcium, but always check with your elders and doctor.
Haha, I ate a whole til gajak during my winter pregnancy because cravings are real! Nothing happened, my baby is perfectly fine and currently keeping me awake at 3 AM.
I just delivered my baby last month and I ate til throughout my second and third trimesters. It is a great source of iron and calcium, so don't worry, just eat in limit.
Actually, scientific studies show that sesame seeds are highly nutritious, packed with calcium and fiber. My doctor told me that the myth about til causing miscarriage is not scientifically proven, but eating it in moderate food quantities is safe.
Listen, having a little til in your food or a small laddu is absolutely fine and won't cause any harm. Just don't go eating whole packets of til chikki every day, moderation is key.
During my journey, I was extremely cautious and chose to avoid til in the first trimester just for my peace of mind. If you are feeling anxious about it, it is perfectly okay to skip it and ask your doctor first.
I am in my second trimester and my mom sent some til laddus, but I am so scared to eat them because of what people say online. Did anyone else eat til during their pregnancy without any issues?
Til is fine in small quantities, but if you have gestational diabetes, be very careful with til laddus as they contain a lot of jaggery or sugar. Stick to unsweetened roasted til sprinkled on salads instead.
