My MIL keeps giving me a handful of almonds and dates every morning saying its good for baby. im 11 weeks now. i mean i like them but is too much also a problem? curious what others do.
Good? Girl, they're a lifesaver! Especially when you're in your third tri and feeling low on energy, a handful of mixed dry fruits feels like magic. Plus, it's an easy snack when you're too tired to cook anything else. Just don't go overboard, they're super filling!
Oh yes, I ate so many dry fruits when I was pregnant with my now mischievous toddler! Almonds, walnuts, figs... they were my go-to snacks. Just be mindful of the quantity as they are calorie-dense.
My MIL keeps telling me to eat soaked almonds every morning. And dates! I'm trying to, but sometimes it feels like too much. Do you guys soak yours too, or just eat them as is?
It's wonderful that you're thinking about nourishing yourself and your baby! Dry fruits are packed with goodness and can be a fantastic part of your pregnancy diet. Just remember to enjoy them in balanced portions.
