Im 9 weeks and craving imli like crazy, mooh me paani aa jata hai just thinking about it. My MIL says too much is not good for baby. Is a little bit fine?
Um, I'm not pregnant yet, but I've heard from my MIL that small amounts in food are generally okay. I think it's mostly about moderation, right? Like, not eating too much raw or anything. Hope that helps a little.
From my experience, a little bit of tamarind in regular cooking, like a hint in dal or a chutney, was totally fine during pregnancy. I never had any issues. Just listen to your body and if you feel any discomfort after eating it, maybe ease off.
I totally understand wanting to be careful with everything you eat, especially during such a special time. Many women have tamarind during pregnancy, it's a common ingredient in Indian food. If you're really worried, maybe mention it to your gynac, just for that extra peace of mind. Take care of yourself, dear.
With gestational diabetes, I had to be super careful about everything, even natural things. While tamarind itself isn't strictly forbidden, if you're eating tamarind candies or highly sweetened items, the sugar content can be high. Stick to small amounts in traditional dishes and always check with your doctor, especially if you have any underlying conditions.
