My MIL makes karela sabzi quite often at ghar and im 14 weeks now. Someone told me bitter gourd is not good in pregnancy and now im a bit tensed. Is this true or just a myth?
Oh, I remember worrying about every single food item during pregnancy! It's totally normal to feel like that. Bitter gourd, hmmm, I actually avoided it just to be safe, but I've heard some people eat it in moderation. Always best to check with your doc if you're unsure, gives so much peace of mind.
My pregnancy app actually had a section on foods to avoid or eat with caution. Bitter gourd was listed under 'eat in moderation' for some people, due to certain compounds. Best to check with your gynac for personalized advice, but generally small amounts are considered okay by many.
Haan yaar, karela... I ate it sometimes, but thoda hi. My MIL used to make it once in a while. But na, some people say avoid it completely. So I think agar craving ho toh ekdum little bit chalega, but everyday mat khaana, just be careful.
Karela? Honestly, during my morning sickness, the thought of anything bitter would just make me gag! 😂 But practically, I think small portions are fine for most. If it makes you feel good, have a little, but don't overdo it. Always listen to your body and your doc!
Oh my god, I'm in my second trimester and also keep wondering about these things! Is bitter gourd safe? I heard it's bad for blood sugar, but also has some benefits. Has anyone else's doctor given clear advice on this? I'm so confused, did you feel this way too?
Bitter gourd, huh? With twins, I just ate whatever stayed down, to be honest! My doc said it's generally fine in small quantities, just like most things. Don't go making a whole big sabzi of it daily, but a little bit is usually okay. No need to panic, yaar!
Hey, don't stress too much about bitter gourd! Some say no, some say yes in small amounts. Honestly, if you're craving it like crazy, maybe a little bit won't hurt, but if you're worried, just skip it. There are so many other veggies to enjoy, yaar, don't overthink it!
In our family, we usually consume karela occasionally, not often. It's generally considered healthy. However, during pregnancy, my mother also advised me to ask the doctor about any food concerns. So, if you're worried, please do check with your gynac, just to be on the safe side.
