Craving ice cream like crazy in this summer heat, im around 5 months. MIL says thanda cheez avoid karo but i really want some. Is it actually a problem or just an old belief?
Yes, it's fine, but practically speaking, try to avoid local open kulfi stalls to prevent any stomach infections. I used to keep small branded ice cream cups in my freezer for those late-night cravings after work.
I had huge cravings for vanilla ice cream during my second trimester and ate it almost every weekend. I didn't face any issues, but my doctor did tell me to keep my sugar intake in check.
My grandmother was worried that cold foods would cause a cold for the baby, which is a common belief. But my doctor said it is perfectly fine as long as I don't have gestational diabetes. So, I enjoyed my mango ice cream occasionally without guilt!
Haan, kha sakte ho, par roz-roz mat khana. Too much sugar can cause gestational diabetes, and cold stuff might give you a cold or cough which is annoying to handle during pregnancy. Stick to safe, branded ice creams.
Oh absolutely, go grab that tub of chocolate ice cream! Don't stress too much about it, just make sure you eat it in moderation and it is from a good, clean brand.
