My MIL keeps giving me neera in the mornings saying its very healthy and cooling. Im in my second trimester. I drink it but at the back of my mind im not sure if its fully safe now. Anyone had it during pregnancy?
In our region neera was given as a cooling drink, beta. But only the morning fresh one, never if it's old. During pregnancy be a little extra careful with hygiene and ask your doctor once.
Fresh palm sap is hydrating but the concern is hygiene and fermentation. If you cant be sure it's fresh and clean, better skip it. When in doubt, run it by your gynac honestly.
Fresh neera is refreshing and elders here drink it, but make sure it's truly fresh and unfermented, na. Once it sits it starts fermenting which you should avoid in pregnancy. I checked with my doctor and had it occasionally fresh.
