Mom has started making gond laddu at home and insisting i eat one daily for strength. I always thought these are more for after delivery na? Just want to be sure its fine to have them now in my 5th month.
Haan these are super nutritious but thoda heaty hote hain na. In winters and after delivery they are the best. Pregnancy mein ek choti si quantity okay, but confirm with your gynac once.
Most families give gond ke laddu more in winters and especially after delivery for strength. In pregnancy itself, have only if your doctor is okay with it, since they are very rich and heaty. One small laddu is enough if at all.
I would say check with your doctor first on this one. Gond is warming and i was told to be careful with such things in my pregnancy due to my history. Everyone is different so dont go just by what worked for others.
Beta gond laddu is full of strength giving things like dry fruits and ghee. But because gond is garam, elders give it mostly in cold weather or after baby is born. Eat in small amount and only if doctor allows.
In our house gond laddu is more of a post delivery thing, my saasu maa made them after baby came. During pregnancy people usually avoid in early months as gond is considered heat producing. Best to ask your gynac before starting them.
