After meals, I often chew on some saunf (fennel seeds) for digestion. Now that I'm pregnant, I want to confirm if it's safe to continue this practice. Can I eat saunf during pregnancy, or should I avoid it?
When I was at my parents' house, my mom used to give me a few seeds of roasted saunf whenever I felt acidity. It felt very soothing, but we always kept it in small limits.
I had to monitor everything due to my thyroid fluctuations. My doctor said a tiny pinch of saunf after meals is fine for digestion, but don't drink boiled saunf water in large quantities.
Since every step in pregnancy is so precious, we must be careful. A tiny amount of saunf for digestion is generally safe, but please check with your doctor if you plan to take it daily.
A little saunf is a lifesaver for that pregnancy nausea and bloating. Just chew a small half-teaspoon after eating, but don't use it as a heavy home remedy without asking your gynac.
