I get major cravings for popcorn lately, especially while watching tv at night. But MIL keeps saying na avoid it. Is it actually fine in pregnancy or should i stop? Anyone else eating it?
I was super scared to eat anything outside during my pregnancy after my past loss. I only ate simple, freshly made popcorn at home with barely any salt. Please just ensure it's fully popped so there are no hard seeds to hurt your teeth, and take care of yourself.
Honestly, I am no expert, but my own doctor told me it was fine in moderation. I used to have simple stove-topped popcorn when I had mild evening cravings. It never caused me any issues, but u can always ask your gynac if unsure.
Oh absolutely, I lived on home-made popcorn during my last trimester! It actually helped with my late night hunger pangs. Just try to avoid too much salted or buttery store buyed ones to keep swelling away.
Yes, popcorn is perfectly fine and actually a good whole grain fiber source. Just make it at home with less oil and salt. Avoid those microwave packets because they have too many chemicals and artificial butter.
Haha, don't worry at all, my 2-year-old and I still fight over popcorn now! I used to eat a huge bowl of plain unsalted popcorn when I was pregnant. It is a great light snack and totally safe.
