At the temple they give vibhuti as prasad and usually i put a little on tongue. Now that im pregnant my MIL said its fine but i felt thoda unsure about eating it. just wanted to know what others do.
I understand the faith behind it, many of us hold these beliefs dearly. Just be mindful about actually consuming such things in pregnancy. You can keep your faith and prayers, and also take care of your health alongside.
I would honestly be careful about eating non food items during pregnancy, even religious ones. If its about faith, applying or keeping it is one thing, but for eating anything, do ask your doctor. Your health comes first na.
I wouldnt consume anything thats not regular food without checking, just to be safe. If you feel strongly about it, mention it to your gynac. They can tell you whether its okay in your case.
