Mom makes methi sabzi and methi paratha often at ghar. Im 3 months and somebody told me methi should be avoided in pregnancy. Got a little confused, is it actually ok?
In regular food quantities, like a pinch of seeds or methi leaves, it's absolutely fine. But avoid taking methi water or concentrated supplements as they can trigger contractions.
I ate cooked methi saag during my pregnancy occasionally without any issues. However, methi is great for breast milk supply post-delivery, so save the heavy consumption for later!
Currently in my 3rd trimester and dealing with constant acidity, so methi is the last thing I want to overdo. Small amounts in food are fine, but keep it light.
Yaar, actually methi leaves are totally fine to eat, but avoid methi seeds in large amounts because they can heat up the body. Keep it simple and enjoy your meals!
I felt so confused about what to eat in my first pregnancy and avoided methi completely out of fear. Later my doctor told me a small amount in food is perfectly okay.
My hospital nutritionist advised me to consume cooked methi leaves in moderation. But she strictly said to check with your doctor before taking raw methi seeds or water.
Personally, I ate methi parathas sometimes and had no problems. But everyone’s body reacts differently, so it's always better to listen to your own body.
Cooked methi leafy vegetable is completely safe and healthy. Just limit the dry methi seeds to a normal tadka quantity, and you will be absolutely fine.
