My mother made a yam curry and im suddenly not sure if its safe now. I've heard mixed things from relatives about certain root veggies in pregnancy. Anyone ate yam without issue?
We cook yam often at home and I ate it well cooked during pregnancy, no problem. Just make sure it is properly cooked, raw or undercooked yam can irritate the throat. My doctor had no issue with normal cooked yam.
Beta yam is fine when cooked nicely, we have eaten it for generations. Some elders avoid it in very early pregnancy out of caution. If your tummy is sensitive, take a small amount first and see, and ask your gynac if unsure.
