I started eating 3-4 walnuts every morning, but sometimes I feel a bit of heat in my stomach. Is anyone else experiencing this in their 2nd trimester? Should I reduce the count?

Actually yaar, 2-3 walnuts are perfect. I used to mix them in my morning oats. Excess khaoge toh heat ho jayega body mein, so keep it limited.

I used to eat a handful when I remembered, which wasn't often because of the massive brain fog! Honestly, just 2 or 3 soaked ones is plenty. Don't overeat them, otherwise acidity will kick in and ruin your night.

Usually, eating 3 to 4 walnut halves daily is considered safe and healthy. But honestly, it's always best to check with your gynac during your next visit. Everyone's body and digestion during pregnancy are different.

Simple rule—don't overdo it. 2 to 3 walnuts a day are more than enough. Soak them overnight so they are easier on your stomach, and move on. No need to eat a whole bowl.

Stick to 2-3 walnuts per day, preferably soaked. They're great for DHA but moderation is key. No need to force-feed yourself a handful just because relatives say so.

My mother-in-law insisted on having 3 walnuts every day with warm milk. I asked my doctor too, and she agreed that 2-4 soaked walnuts are great for the baby. Always good to take family blessings but verify with doc.

I literally crave them with honey! My mom told me to eat like 2-3 walnuts daily, so I soak them overnight. It's a great snack when u get those weird mid-day hunger pangs.
