I ate a lot of urad dal khichdi during pregnancy and even now while breastfeeding. It's great for strength, just avoid eating it late at night.

Urad dal is great for energy, which you'll definitely need! Just watch out for the gas, pregnancy bloating is already quite a struggle.

Haan, urad dal bahut achhi hoti hai takat ke liye. Bas thoda hing aur jeera daal kar banana taaki pet mein gas na bane.
