My saas always prepares boiled sweet corn for my evening snack saying it's healthy for the baby's eyes. It’s light on the stomach and keeps me full till dinner.

Beta, bhutta khana bohot accha hota hai pregnancy mein. Isme acche vitamins hote hain. Bas dhyaan rakhna ki acche se paka hua ho aur bahar ka khula hua zyada mat khana.

Oh, yes! Corn is absolutely wonderful and rich in folic acid which is so good for the baby. I used to love eating warm, boiled sweet corn during my rainy-day pregnancy cravings.

Actually yaar, boiled corn with a bit of butter and chaat masala is a super healthy snack. It has lots of fiber which helps with that annoying pregnancy constipation. Go for it!

I love sweet corn soup these days! It's one of the few things that doesn't make me feel nauseous. Are you also having it boiled or in salads?

Yes, corn is a good source of fiber, folate, and antioxidants. Just make sure to eat it in moderation as it is also high in starch, and keep your doctor's overall diet advice in mind.
