I love chinese food and order it often, par ab pregnancy me thinking twice. Soy sauce me sodium zyada hota hai na, thats why a bit worried. Anyone ate it during pregnancy?
My doctor told me that soy sauce is okay in moderation but it has very high sodium content, which can increase blood pressure or swelling. So she suggested using it sparingly and avoiding street-style Chinese which has low-quality sauces.
It's natural to worry about every single ingredient, dear, your anxiety is completely valid. Having a little soy sauce occasionally in your noodles is quite safe, just try not to have it daily as it has high salt.
A little soy sauce is totally fine, just check the label for MSG or high sodium. I tracked all my food on my app and having Chinese food once in a while never caused any issues!
I think soy sauce is okay if you have it sometimes in small amounts, but maybe avoid eating it too often. I am also trying to conceive and trying to eat mostly fresh home-cooked food.
Oh I totally understand how much we worry about what we eat because we want the best for our little baby. Don't stress, having a tiny bit of soy sauce in your food won't harm your sweet baby, just keep it in moderation.
