I usually take honey with warm water every morning but ab I'm 14 weeks and started doubting if it's fine. someone in my building said avoid it during pregnancy. is that true ya just a myth?
Yes, honey is safe, but please ensure it is pasteurized and from a reputed brand to avoid any bacterial infection. When you have a history, you tend to be extra careful, so maybe ask your doctor once.
My mother-in-law used to give me warm water with a spoon of honey every morning for constipation, and it worked so well! Just don't put it in boiling hot water.
I use honey as a natural sweetener post my morning walks instead of refined sugar. Just keep it in moderation if you are watching your gestational diabetes risk.
Absolutely! It's great for sweet cravings and way better than eating a whole chocolate tub, haha. Just make sure it is pasteurized and you are good to go.
My mother said raw honey should be avoided, but our family doctor confirmed that regular branded, pasteurized honey is perfectly fine. It's great for soothing a sore throat.
I felt so relieved when my doctor said honey is safe, because I had a bad cough during my first trimester and honey-ginger was the only thing that comforted my throat. It felt like a warm hug.
I actually googled for hours wondering if honey is safe because of infant botulism, but then my gynac explained that it only affects babies under one year, not the fetus. Still, I only ate pasteurized branded ones to be safe!
