Just watch the portion and the flavour. I had GD so I had to be careful with the buttery ones. Plain air popped is fine but pls check with your doctor if you also have sugar issues.

It's a decent snack when you're hungry between meals. I'd just make it at home with less salt instead of the masala packets. Quick and no fuss.

Popcorn nights were the best part of my pregnancy :) just keep it plain and you're good.

Honestly popcorn was my go to snack the whole pregnancy. The plain lightly salted one, not the loaded cheesy buttery kind. It felt light and didnt give me acidity.
