My MIL keeps adding methi in everything saying it's healthy, im in 2nd trimester now. But somewhere i read thoda confusion about methi during pregnancy. Anyone know if it's actually fine?
In our tradition, we use methi a lot, but for pregnant ladies, especially early on, it is often advised to be cautious. Some say it can be 'heating' for the body. It is always wise to consult your doctor to be very clear about it.
Haha, methi ka taste toh acha hota hai, par ismein thoda doubt hai. Better to stick to aloo-gobi for now and save the methi parathas for after delivery, jab uski shakti ki sach mein zaroorat hogi! Tab toh khub khana.
Actually, methi seeds, especially in larger quantities, are often advised to be avoided in pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester. It can sometimes cause uterine contractions. Better to err on the side of caution. If it's just a tiny bit in regular food, that's usually okay, but definitely avoid methi water or supplements.
Na, methi seeds are generally a no-no during pregnancy. Specially in the early months. Some people say it can induce contractions. It's best to avoid it completely or just have it in very minimal amounts like in tadka. After delivery, it's great for lactation though!
During pregnancy, it's always best to be very mindful of what we consume. Methi seeds are often suggested post-delivery for milk production, but in pregnancy, especially early on, some doctors advise against it due to its potential effects. Please check with your doctor to be safe.
Oh, I was wondering about this too! My MIL made methi sabzi last week and I had a little bit, but then my friend said not to. Is even a small amount risky? I'm trying to be super careful.
Haan, methi generally garam hoti hai, na. Log bolte hain ki pregnancy mein thoda avoid karna chahiye, especially in the first few months. Baad mein, like last trimester or post-delivery, it's fine. Par abhi, thoda careful raho.
It's totally normal to worry about every single thing you eat during pregnancy! About methi, generally it's better to avoid it, especially methi seeds or large quantities of it. It's considered 'hot' and some say it can cause uterine contractions. Just stick to safe foods, you're doing great.
Methi is known to be warm in nature. While a tiny bit in cooking might be fine for flavour, I would seriously avoid it in larger quantities or as a separate remedy. It's always safest to consult your gynac about specific foods, especially if you plan to consume it regularly.
With limited time, it's easier to just avoid foods that have a question mark over them. Methi is one such food. A small amount in regular cooking might be negligible, but don't go out of your way to include it or take it as a supplement. Focus on universally safe foods.
