I used to soak chia seeds in water every morning before pregnancy. Continued it but now im second guessing, kahin koi harm to nahi. Is it fine to keep having them?
Chia seeds are generally considered very safe and are packed with calcium, protein, and fiber. However, because they expand in the stomach, they can sometimes cause bloating if you don't drink enough water. It is always wise to double-check with your doctor about the daily portion.
Oh yes, they are completely safe! My little one is 2 now, but back then, I used to make chia seed pudding to satisfy my sweet cravings. It kept me full and helped with digestion too, just don't have too much of it.
During my routine checkup at the hospital, the nutritionist specifically added soaked chia seeds to my diet plan for healthy fats. I highly recommend just asking your hospital dietician on your next visit so you get personalized advice.
I used to have chia seeds soaked in milk or water almost daily during my second trimester. Personally, they really helped me with constipation, but I can't say if they are safe for everyone. Best to check with your gynac once.
I'm planning to conceive soon and started adding chia seeds to my morning smoothies for extra fiber and omega-3. Do we need to limit the quantity during pregnancy? I see so many mixed opinions online.
I panicked when I ate a dessert with chia seeds without asking my doctor first, thought I made a huge mistake! But when I asked my gynac, she said they are actually super healthy. Just make sure to soak them nicely before eating.
