My mother-in-law suggested I include figs in my diet for good health. I just wanted to confirm if figs are good and safe to eat during pregnancy? Should I have them dried or fresh?
Figs or anjeer are amazing during pregnancy, trust me. I used to eat soaked anjeer every morning and it helped so much with digestion. My toddler is now 2, and looking back, those small healthy habits made such a huge difference!
I totally understand why you are asking this, every single food item makes us worry so much during this phase. Figs are actually very safe and packed with nutrients, so please don't stress. Just have one or two a day and enjoy your journey!
My mother-in-law insisted I eat two figs daily to keep my energy up and help with constipation. But I still asked my gynac first just to be absolutely sure, and she gave me the green signal. So go ahead, but just check with your doctor once.
Oh I panicked so much earlier thinking if anjeer causes too much body heat and if it is safe! But honestly, my doctor told me it is totally normal and safe to eat in moderation. Just soak them in water overnight and eat, it is very good.
Figs are great for iron and fiber, I had them too during my days. Since I had thyroid issues back then, I just made sure to keep sharing my daily diet with my doctor during my monthly follow-ups. Just eat them in moderation and you will be fine.
Yes dear, figs are excellent for pregnant women, especially if you have mild constipation. Just soak 1 or 2 pieces of dried anjeer in water overnight and have them first thing in the morning. It works like magic and gives good iron too.
