After heavy meals i always reach for hajmola, its just a habit na. But now im pregnant and suddenly second guessing every little thing i pop in my mouth. Is it fine to have or should i avoid?
One now and then wont hurt, dont stress. Just dont finish the whole bottle haha, too much salt. If you have it daily, maybe run it by your gynac. Otherwise chill.
Once in a while shouldn't harm beta, but those have lots of salt. For digestion I'd always suggest ajwain or saunf paani instead, much gentler. If you crave it often, just ask your doctor once.
An occasional one is usually ok but dont make it a daily habit, it has a lot of salt and some have additives. I had cravings for it too. Better options for digestion are saunf or jeera water honestly.
Be a little careful, some of those candies have sugar and salt both. I limited them. If you really want something for digestion, plain jeera or ajwain water is safer. And mention cravings to your doctor.
Yaar I craved hajmola so bad in my second trimester. Actually one occasionally is fine but it's salty and tangy so dont overdo it. I switched to homemade saunf mix mostly. Check with doc if you eat it a lot.
