Peas are a lifesaver when you are short on time! I used to toss frozen peas into quick khichdi or wraps for my office lunch. They give a good protein boost and are completely safe, just wash them nicely before cooking.
I delivered just a few months ago and had green peas quite often in my second trimester. They really helped with my constipation because they have so much fiber. Just make sure to cook them well so they don't cause gas.
Yes, green peas are actually very nutritious since they are packed with folic acid, fiber, and vitamin C. They are great for your baby's development, but as always, eat them in moderate amounts. If you feel too bloated, just ask your doctor once.
I can't give medical advice, but personally, I ate a lot of green peas during my winters. They tasted so sweet and fresh in matar-parathas and didn't cause me any issues. For any doubts, your gynac is always the best person to ask.
Oh, I used to put peas in literally everything—pulao, upma, poha—when I was pregnant! They are super healthy and completely safe. My toddler loves them now too, so definitely go ahead and enjoy them.
