My MIL keeps giving me khajoor everyday saying its good for the baby, but i read somewhere it can cause heat. Im in first tri so thoda tension ho raha hai. Is it actually safe na?
I know how stressful it is to google every single thing you eat, I used to be terrified of having the wrong thing. Actually, dates are very safe and healthy, but in early pregnancy, limit it to 1-2 a day. Don't worry, your baby is safe, just don't overeat them.
When I was pregnant, I felt so much guilt even eating one sweet thing. But my doctor told me dates are rich in iron and natural sugars. Eating them made me feel strong and kept my hemoglobin levels quite good throughout.
Oh, I was literally asking my MIL the same thing yesterday! I am in my 5th month and love eating sweet things, so dates seem perfect. Do we need to soak them in water first, or can we eat them directly?
I had dates almost every day, especially in my 9th month because everyone said it helps with easy labor. Honestly, they are a great energy booster when you feel tired. Just have 2-3 a day with milk, it worked wonders for my constipation too.
Dates are generally safe and nutritious, but you should definitely confirm with your gynac first, especially if you have high blood sugar or gestational diabetes. Every pregnancy is unique, so it's always best to get the green light from your doctor.
Haha yes! Dates are a lifesaver for those late-night sweet cravings. I make a quick date and nut milkshake and it feels like dessert. Just limit the portion size because they are quite warm for the body.
