I put dhania in almost everything i cook and someone told me to go easy on it now. Im 3 months. Is it fine in normal cooking amounts or do i actually need to cut down?
Haan, coriander is absolutely fine for pregnancy, it's just a herb. We use it in so much of our cooking everyday, right? It's not like anything exotic. Don't worry about it, just eat your regular home-cooked food.
With my thyroid condition, I was extra cautious about what I ate, even common herbs. Coriander in small amounts for flavouring food is generally fine, but if you're thinking of consuming it in large quantities or as a remedy, please always check with your gynac first. Better to be safe.
Yes, coriander is perfectly fine, darling. It's just a common herb we use for flavour. Some even say it can help with digestion a bit, which is a blessing during pregnancy! Just use it as you normally would in your cooking, no issues.
Oh, really? Is coriander even something we need to worry about? I thought it's such a basic, everyday ingredient. I just assumed it would be fine. I guess during pregnancy, every little thing gets questioned, huh?
After my IVF journey, I was so careful about every single thing going into my body. But normal spices and herbs like coriander, in the quantities we use in everyday cooking, are generally considered safe. It's more about avoiding anything drastically new or in medicinal doses without consulting your doctor.
In general, using coriander as a spice or garnish in your daily cooking is completely safe during pregnancy. It's rich in vitamins too. However, if you're considering taking it as a supplement or in large, concentrated amounts for some 'remedy,' then it's always best to consult your gynaecologist.
