My MIL keeps giving me nariyal paani and pieces of fresh coconut daily, says it makes baby fair lol. I dont mind it but is it actually good or just a myth? im in 2nd trimester.
Yes, absolutely! Eating raw coconut or drinking fresh coconut water is amazing during these months. It really helps with that annoying morning acidity and keeps you hydrated too!
Haan, bilkul khao! My MIL used to say eating coconut makes the baby have fair skin and thick hair, which is just an old myth, but I ate it anyway because it tasted so good! Go ahead and enjoy, it won't hurt.
Oh, coconut is a lifesaver! I crave those sweet coconut laddoos and fresh pieces with jaggery all the time. It is totally fine to eat, satisfying for those sweet cravings and healthy too!
I can only share what worked for me, but I ate dry and fresh coconut almost every day. It really helped ease my constipation and gave me quick energy when I felt tired. Just see what suits your body, every pregnancy is different.
