I am having strong cravings for pizza lately! I know we should eat healthy during pregnancy, but I was wondering if it's okay to have pizza sometimes. Is it considered healthy enough, or should I avoid it completely?
My mom used to make healthy home-made pizza using wheat base and lots of fresh veggies so my cravings were satisfied. Ghar pe bani hygiene best hoti hai for baby. If you can, ask your family to make a healthy version at home, it feels so warm and nice.
Omg pizza is my absolute favorite craving right now! I make sure to order thin crust with extra veggies so it feels a little healthy. Just eat it hot and fresh, satisfying those cravings is another level of happiness!
Honestly, home-cooked pizza is fine but outside wheat or cheese heavy ones can affect digestion, and with my thyroid I had to be super careful with weight. It is always better to keep your gynac in loop and get regular tests done. I did that throughout my pregnancy.
I felt so guilty when I ordered a double cheese pizza in my second trimester, thinking I'm not eating healthy for the baby. But actually, my body was craving it so badly and after eating, I felt so happy and relaxed. Sometimes you have to listen to your body, but don't overdo it.
Since I had PCOS history, I had to keep my insulin levels in check during pregnancy, so refined flour pizza was a big no for me. But I would make a ragi or oats crust sometimes. It's safe to be a bit cautious and check how your body reacts.
It isn't exactly healthy because of refined flour and high sodium, but eating a slice occasionally is absolutely fine. Honestly, your doctor knows your body's reports best so asking them is always the safest route. Balance is key!
I used to get so stressed thinking about the yeast in the dough and if the cheese was pasteurized. If you are ordering, please check the hygiene of the place, it's so scary to think of infections. But one slice won't hurt, just be careful na.
Arey, baby wants cheese burst, what to do! Just joking, but seriously, once in a while is totally fine, else we will go crazy with all the restrictions. Just make sure the cheese is well cooked and hot, enjoy!
I am planning my pregnancy right now and literally wondering the same thing because I can't live without pizza. Is it okay if we make it at home with whole wheat base? I guess moderation works for everything.
Yaar, dont stress too much about small things! Just enjoy a slice of hot pizza if you are craving it, just ensure the cheese is pasteurized and it's from a clean place. Pregnancy is hard anyway, we deserve a little treat, haina?
