I felt so connected to my baby every morning when I ate my soaked walnuts, thinking of how it helps them grow. I used to eat exactly 2 to 3 walnuts daily. It was my favorite little routine during those beautiful nine months.
Walnuts can be quite expensive, so you don't need to overdo it—just 2 walnuts a day is more than enough to get the benefits. I preferred spending wisely on high-quality nuts rather than buying bulk, especially with all the hospital delivery expenses coming up.
Personally, my doctor suggested eating about 3-4 walnuts daily, and I always soaked them overnight because they say it's easier to digest. That's just what worked for me, but you can check with your own doctor if you have any doubts.
I know how stressful it is to worry about every single thing you eat during pregnancy, I was the same! Eating 2 to 3 soaked walnuts a day is perfectly safe and great for the baby. Just take it easy, you are doing great.
Walnuts are amazing for the baby's brain development! I used to have 3-4 walnuts every morning after soaking them overnight. It's a simple, healthy habit that really helped me stay energetic.
