MIL keeps giving me soaked kishmish every morning saying its good for the baby. I do like them but wanted to check if its actually ok in pregnancy or too much sugar. anyone know?
It is safe and rich in iron, but please eat in small quantities. Because of my past loss, I used to get scared about every single food item. It's always best to just double-check with your gynac before adding anything new to your daily diet.
My mother-in-law used to give me soaked raisins every morning with warm milk. She said it keeps blood levels good. I still asked my doctor if it's fine, and she said moderate amount is totally healthy.
Raisins really helped me with postpartum constipation after my C-section, as pushing was so hard then. I wish I had started eating them regularly during my pregnancy itself. Just soak them in water first, it makes them easy to digest.
Honestly, it’s a great quick snack for busy workdays when you get sudden sweet cravings. I used to keep a small box of raisins at my office desk. Just don't overdo it because of the sugar content.
Yes, kishmish is very good but don't eat too much. Soak 5-6 raisins overnight and have them in the morning. It helps a lot with constipation and acidity.
