I'm craving momos so badly these days, like every evening. But the maida and all is making me think twice. Anyone had momos in pregnancy without any issue?
Beta, outside food like momos has maida which is very heavy for digestion during this time. If you want to eat, make wheat momos at home and put fresh paneer or veggies. Also, drink a little warm water with saunf after eating to keep your digestion smooth.
Having PCOS made me realize how easily gut health can get messed up, especially now. Momos are okay once in a while but outside MSG and uncooked veggies in stuffing are risky. Try making them with wheat at home, it's much safer.
After my IVF journey, I became super cautious about everything I ate. Honestly, momos are fine if they are freshly steamed at home, but outside cabbage and spicy chutneys can cause stomach infections which we should avoid. Take care of yourself dear, step by step.
I'm in my 18th week and yesterday I almost ordered street momos but got so anxious. Do you guys also get these massive cravings but then feel too scared to eat? I ended up just having ghar ka khana.
I also love momos, but right now we are planning so I'm a bit scared to eat outside food. Maybe home-made ones are safer? I feel a bit shy asking my MIL about street food cravings, but hygiene matters a lot na.
Haan na, raw cabbage in outside momos is actually not good during pregnancy. I also used to crave it so much, but home-made steamed veg momos are much better. Just make sure the stuffing is fully cooked, ho na.
Oh god, I had crazy momo cravings last month before delivery! I used to get them made at home by our cook or just steamed them really well myself. Outside roadside ones have high risk of infection, so please try to avoid street stalls.
My tracking app actually flagged outside cabbage and raw street food as high risk for listeria. If you are craving momos, just steam them properly at home. You can even buy frozen ones from good brands and steam them really well.
My mother-in-law says we shouldn't eat maida foods as it causes constipation, which is quite true. But when I asked my gynac, she said home-made steamed momos are perfectly fine if they are hygienic. Just avoid the super spicy red chutney!
