Craving sweets like crazy these days, im in 5th month. Gulab jamun is calling my name but thoda guilt is there because of sugar. Is it fine to have once in a while or better to avoid?
Yes, eating one gulab jamun occasionally is absolutely fine to satisfy your sweet cravings. But if you have gestational diabetes or feel dizzy after eating sweets, please ask your doctor immediately.
Beta, you can eat a little sweet to keep your mind happy, but don't eat cold sweets from outside. If you make it ghar pe or warm it up nicely, it is much safer.
I am planning my pregnancy and already worrying about giving up sweets! It's reassuring to know we can have a gulab jamun occasionally as long as our health is fine.
A small piece is fine, but since it is very high in sugar, you should check with your gynac first, especially if your glucose test is pending. It's always better to be cautious about your sugar intake.
I literally survived my 3rd trimester cravings by keeping a gulab jamun in the fridge! Eat it warm and enjoy, just don't tell your doctor if you end up eating three like me!
In my experience, I had a couple of gulab jamuns whenever I had a strong craving, and it was absolutely fine. I just made sure to drink plenty of water after.
I understand how hard it is to resist those sweet cravings during this precious time. You can definitely enjoy a small gulab jamun occasionally, but just keep an eye on your overall sugar levels to stay safe.
