My saas keeps telling me to add methi dana in my diet for digestion n all. But im not sure how much is safe during pregnancy, soaked or seekh ke? Bit confused, anyone using it?
I am currently in my 22nd week and honestly, I am so scared to touch methi seeds. My MIL told me to eat methi parathas, but then I read online that it can cause contractions. Did anyone else also feel super confused and anxious about what spices are safe to use?
I totally understand how stressful it is when everyone gives different advice about what to eat. You just want to do what is best for your sweet little baby! Personally, I avoided drinking methi water during my pregnancy just to be on the safer side, and it gave me so much peace of mind.
Same here, I mostly avoided it during my pregnancy. It's best to stay safe and just use it as a basic spice in tadka, but definitely avoid methi laddoos or concentrated tea.
Look, there's no need to make things complicated or buy expensive supplements. Just use methi seeds in your daily cooking as a spice like you always do, that is 100% safe. If you want to use it for health reasons or diabetes, just take a quick confirmation from your doctor first.
I didn't eat much methi while I was pregnant because it can heat up the body and cause early contractions if eaten in large amounts. But after my C-section, my doctor said a little bit of boiled methi water is great for milk supply. So maybe avoid it now and use it during your recovery later.
Oh I absolutely love methi muthia and Aloo methi! I can't imagine my life without it, so I asked my gynac if I had to stop. She laughed and said normal cooking amounts are absolutely fine, just don't go eating raw seeds or drinking methi water in large quantities. So keep enjoying your food in moderation!
When I was staying at my parents' house during my pregnancy, my mom always told me to only use a very tiny pinch of methi in the tadka for flavor. She never let me eat methi laddoos or drink methi water because it's too warm for the womb. It's always best to stick to traditional ways but keep the quantity very small.
