Yaar im craving pani puri so badly in my second trimester but everyone at ghar keeps saying no no its risky. Thoda confused now, is it really that bad or can i have it sometimes if its clean? Pls share what u all did.
Haan na, cravings control karna bohot mushkil hota hai is time pe. But street food se infection ka darr rehta hai, so ghar pe banake khao toh sabse best hai. Apni health aur baby ki safety sabse pehle hai, ho na?
I totally understand how difficult it is to control those chatpata cravings, dear! But pregnancy is such a delicate time, we have to be so careful about the baby. If you must eat, please make sure it's from a highly hygienic place or just prepare it at home with love.
If you are eating pani puri, just be very careful about the sweet chutney and the refined flour puris. I had gestational diabetes and had to totally avoid such high-carb snacks. It is better to get your sugar checked and keep the portion small.
Getting a stomach infection in pregnancy means extra hospital visits, expensive tests, and unnecessary bills. Honestly, roadside food is not worth the risk when you are already planning for delivery expenses. If you crave it, make it cheaply and safely at home.
I asked my nutritionist at Fortis about this, and she strictly advised against eating pani puri from roadside stalls because of infection risks. The hospital staff told me to make it at home using RO water if I really wanted it. Better ask your doc once before eating outside food.
Haan, you can definitely enjoy pani puri but hygiene is super important. I ate home-made pani puri throughout my pregnancy and had a very smooth normal delivery. Just avoid local street vendors to stay safe from infections.
