I love guava yaar, eating almost one daily these days. But my MIL keeps saying it causes thanda cough and all in pregnancy. Im in 5th month, is it actually fine to have or should i cut down?
Haan, bilkul khao amrood! Bass thoda dhyaan rakhna ki sham ko mat khana, winter me cold ho sakta hai na. Black salt laga ke dophar me khao, taste bhi badhiya lagta hai.
I used to carry a sliced guava to my office every single day for the 4 PM hunger pangs. It’s so practical because it keeps u full for long and doesn't spoil easily in the bag. Just sprinkle a little salt and you are good to go, super convenient.
It's a great low-glycemic snack that won't spike your sugar levels. I used to eat a few slices after my evening walk, which my doc had allowed after the first trimester. Keeps you energized without adding unnecessary calories.
According to my pregnancy tracker app, guava is super rich in Vitamin C, even more than oranges! It really helps with iron absorption and immunity. Just log your portions, having one medium guava a day is perfect.
Honestly, please ask your doctor once before eating. I had some digestion issues and mild contractions in my fifth month, so my gynac had asked me to avoid too many raw fruits including guava. Har pregnancy alag hoti hai so better safe than sorry.
Guava is actually amazing during pregnancy, full of vitamin C and fiber. Just make sure you wash it really well to avoid any infections, and don't eat too many hard seeds if your stomach is sensitive. My husband is a doctor and he always tells patients that clean, fresh fruits are best.
In my house, my MIL and mother both insisted on having amrood for breakfast. They said it keeps the stomach clean and prevents constipation which is so common. Just ensure it is fully ripe and washed properly.
