Honestly my cravings for mithai are bohot these days, gulab jamun specially. MIL keeps saying eat less sugar warna problem ho sakti hai. Is having a little daily ok or should I avoid?
I am in my 20th week now and the craving for sweets is getting so strong. I always worry if it will affect the baby. Are you guys also feeling this intense urge for chocolates every day?
Better to control sweets now so you don't end up with extra gestational diabetes tests and expensive specialist visits. Hospital bills can add up so quickly if complications arise. Safe homemade kheer is cheap and best.
I asked my senior consultant at the hospital about this in my first trimester. They told me small portions are fine but we have to keep an eye on blood sugar levels. Better to ask your own doc during your routine checkup to be 100% sure.
Haha, if sweets weren't safe, my kid would have been born half-chocolate! Just enjoy a small bite to keep the baby happy. No need to eat the whole box of kaju katli in one go, though!
I had a wonderful normal delivery and I definitely enjoyed my share of sweets throughout! I just made sure to walk for 20 minutes after eating them to keep my digestion active. Enjoy your pregnancy phase with a little treat.
Please be very careful with sweets. I had GD during my pregnancy and it was tough to manage. It's best to get your glucose test done before eating too many sweet items, just to be safe.
I totally understand how hard it is to curb these little desires when you are growing a whole life inside you. Your body works so hard, so a tiny bit of sweet is like a warm hug. Just keep it in moderation, dear.
Honestly, buying expensive sugar-free sweets is not needed. Just make basic home-made kheer with less sugar or have a small piece of jaggery after food. Simple ghar ka khana and small sweet portions are the best workable solution.
Yaar, my baby is basically made of ice cream and laddoos at this point! I can't resist sweets at all. I just try to eat fruits during the day so I can enjoy a proper dessert at night without feeling guilty.
I used to check the ingredients of literally everything I ate, even a small biscuit, worrying about sugar spikes. Try not to stress like I did, but maybe limit the bakery items. Just a small piece of home sweet is perfect.
I know exactly how anxious these food questions can make you feel, I used to panic over every bite. It is completely natural to want sweets, so don't blame yourself. Just take a small bite and breathe, you are doing great.
Actually yaar, sweets are totally fine if you don't have sugar issues. I used to have half a gulab jamun whenever I felt like it. Just don't go overboard, balance is everything.
A little sweetness is absolutely fine, but try to choose healthier options like dates or homemade dry fruit laddoos. I ate those during my pregnancy and they helped a lot with energy even after delivery during breastfeeding.
Oh I completely understand those late night sweet cravings, they are so real! I used to cry for chocolate sometimes. Just have a small bite to satisfy the craving, don't restrict yourself too much because these days won't come back.
Managing twin cravings meant I wanted double the chocolates, but my doctor warned me strictly. I had to hide the sweets in the kitchen so I wouldn't eat them all at once. Eat a little bit, otherwise you'll gain too much weight like I did!
