I eat aloo in almost everything, sabzi paratha sab kuch. Someone at home said too much potato is not good in pregnancy. Im in 2nd trimester, is it actually fine or should i cut down?
Of course you can have potatoes, there's absolutely no reason to avoid them unless you have high sugar. Just make sure you are not eating them deep-fried as French fries every single day. Baked or boiled aloo in moderate quantities is totally fine and actually gives good energy.
Potatoes are very comforting, especially when you have mild nausea, sweet potato is also a great option to try ghar pe. But if you are experiencing severe bloating, acidity, or any stomach pain after eating, definitely check with your gynac once just to be safe.
I am in my 18th week now and literally surviving on boiled potatoes because everything else makes me feel bloated. But my mother-in-law said too much aloo is not good for the baby. Is anyone else also eating lots of potato, or should I really cut down?
Arre, aloo is life, don't stress too much about it! Just eat your favorite aloo gobi or boiled potato chaat without feeling guilty. As long as you are eating healthy overall, a little potato here and there is perfectly fine, enjoy your food!
According to the trackers I used, potatoes are a great source of potassium and vitamin C, which are helpful during pregnancy. But the app also highlighted that they have a high glycemic index, so don't overdo it. Balance it with some green veggies and proteins in your meals.
OMG, I have been craving aloo parathas daily in my second trimester! But is it okay to eat potatoes if they are fried or should I stick to boiled ones? I am always worried if it will cause too much weight gain, what do you guys suggest?
