Haan na, sabudana toh bahut light aur achha hota hai pregnancy mein. humare yahan toh upvas mein sabudana khichdi khate hi hain. Bas thoda less oil mein banana.

Oh my god, sabudana vada was my ultimate comfort food craving during my second trimester! It's totally safe to eat and so delicious. Just try not to deep fry it too much to avoid heartburn!

Deepika Kunder · Answer

Yes, it is safe, but since it is high in carbs, keep an eye on your portion sizes if you are managing weight or thyroid issues. Regular follow-ups with your doctor will help you balance your diet chart perfectly.

I used to eat sabudana khichdi very often during my fasts when I was pregnant. It never caused me any issues and actually kept me quite full. That was just my experience, so eat what suits your stomach.

Poonam Setty · Answer

It is safe to eat, but please ensure it is cooked very hygienically to avoid any stomach infections. In early pregnancy, even a small food infection can cause severe cramping. Be very careful with outer food.

Actually, sabudana was a lifesaver for me when I couldn't digest anything else due to extreme nausea. It is very light on the stomach and gives instant energy. Try eating it warm with a little curd.
