My mom keeps making drumstick sambar and saying its good for pregnancy. But i read somewhere ki it should be avoided in early months? Im 10 weeks. Thoda confused, is it safe or not yaar?
During my diet consultation at the hospital, the nutritionist explicitly approved well-cooked drumsticks as a great source of vitamins and dietary fiber. They just warned against eating them raw or in excessive amounts. You can always ask your hospital's dietitian to create a customized chart for you.
While drumsticks are packed with nutrients, please check with your gynac before adding them to your regular diet. Some people say they can cause body heat, so it's always safer to ask your doctor if they are fine for your specific trimester. Moderation is always key during these months.
Oh, I totally panicked when I ate drumstick early on because someone told me it causes miscarriages! But when I asked my doctor, she laughed and said it's completely normal and actually very healthy. So don't worry at all, just eat it in normal food quantities and enjoy your meals!
Drumstick is actually excellent for mineral intake, which helped me when I was managing my thyroid during pregnancy. Just make sure you discuss your overall diet during your regular doctor checkups to balance your thyroid levels. Eating balanced, home-cooked food is always the safest option.
When I was staying at my parents' place, my mother used to put drumsticks in sambar and soup quite often. She always said it is very rich in natural iron and calcium which is great for the baby. Just ensure they are washed properly and cooked well at home.
