We mostly keep the tetra pack uht milk at ghar pe coz its convenient. Now that im 3 months pregnant I started wondering if its ok or should I switch to fresh milk? anyone know?
UHT milk was my lifesaver because I was too lazy to boil milk every single day, haha! It's completely safe since it is packaged well. Right now, I'm drinking any milk I can find just to stay awake with my baby!
Oh god, I spent hours researching this when I was pregnant because I was so scared of bacteria! Yes, UHT milk is actually pasteurized at high temperatures, so it is safe. But please make sure you don't drink it if it has been open for more than a couple of days, just to be safe!
Since UHT milk is pasteurized, it is generally considered safe, but since I had gestational complications, I was very strict about everything. I always suggest discussing your daily diet with your doctor first. They will guide you best based on your health reports.
Yes, it is safe, but make sure you are getting enough calcium from other sources too. Since I had thyroid issues, my doctor kept checking my calcium and hormone levels regularly. Do keep up with your regular doctor visits and tests.
During my consultation at the hospital, the chief clinical nutritionist told me that UHT milk is perfectly fine as the sterilization process kills harmful bacteria. Just ensure you store it properly after opening. You can easily double-check this with your hospital's dietary team.
I used to drink UHT milk during my pregnancy and even after my C-section during recovery. It was easy to digest and very convenient. Just make sure to drink it warm if it's cold from the fridge, as that's gentler on the stomach.
I drank UHT milk throughout my pregnancy because we didn't get fresh cow milk easily near our flat. Personally, it suited me well and I didn't face any issues at all. But yes, everyone's body is different so see what works for you.
