Aam season hai and im craving it so badly yaar. But my saas keeps saying mango brings heat and it can be harmful. Anyone ate mango during their pregnancy without issue?
Yes, it is safe, but keep portion control in mind because of the high sugar content. I used to pack a few chopped slices for my office evening snack, which kept my energy levels up during long meetings.
It is totally safe as long as they are naturally ripened and washed thoroughly. I enjoyed them in moderation and had a very smooth, normal delivery, so do not stress yourself out over these small cravings.
That is such a relief to hear because I have been eyeing the mangoes in my kitchen for days. But does it really increase body heat, or is that just an old wives' tale we don't need to worry about?
I totally understand how hard it is to resist those sweet mangoes when you are pregnant. My mother-in-law told me to avoid them completely, but when I had a small slice, I felt so happy and content. Just have a little bit to satisfy your cravings, dear.
My doctor told me that mangoes are rich in Vitamin C and fiber, so they are actually good. I ate them throughout my summer pregnancy, and my toddler is perfectly healthy and loves mangoes now too!
It is absolutely safe, just don't go eating the whole basket! With my twins, I had massive sugar cravings and ate a small mango almost daily. Just be ready for some serious baby kicks right after, they love the sugar rush!
