We make kovakkai sabzi quite often at home and I had it yesterday without thinking. Now Im second guessing if ivy gourd is okay in pregnancy. Im 16 weeks. is it safe to keep eating or should I avoid?
Oh yes, tendli is absolutely safe and super healthy! I used to have it regularly with roti during my pregnancy, and my toddler now eats it too. Just wash it thoroughly and cook it well before eating.
It is completely safe, dear, so don't worry. Ivy gourd has good fiber and vitamins which are excellent for digestion during these months. Just avoid eating it raw, always eat it properly cooked as a dry sabzi or curry.
Bilkul safe hai! In fact, it is very good for managing gestational diabetes naturally. Cook it with minimal oil and enjoy it with hot rotis, it's a great light meal for pregnancy.
Yes, ivy gourd (tendli) is quite safe and packed with essential nutrients like Vitamin C and fiber. Just keep in mind to wash all green vegetables thoroughly to remove any pesticides or soil bacteria before cooking. No need to restrict it.
Ivy gourd is totally fine to eat, it is actually low in calories and helps control sugar levels. I had a lot of fiber-rich veggies like this to avoid constipation before my C-section delivery. It really helped my digestion during recovery as well.
