Is vinegar safe for pregnancy?

Question

I use vinegar in salads and some cooking regularly. Now MIL said avoid it during pregnancy. Im 12 weeks and confused if its actually unsafe or just a myth. Anyone knows?

I used to have terrible nausea and sometimes a tiny bit of vinegar on salads helped cut the flat taste. Just make sure it is pasteurized and don't take it in large quantities on an empty stomach.

Haan beta, simple white vinegar that we put in noodles is safe. Just don't eat too much outside food, try to make things at home.

I literally cannot eat momos without that spicy vinegar dip right now! A little bit of vinegar in food is totally fine, just don't overdo it or you'll get acidity.

I’ve been eating vinegar-rich Chinese food to survive my late-night cravings! It’s totally safe in normal food amounts, just prepare for some extra heartburn.

Unless you are planning to drink it like water, vinegar in your food is perfectly fine. Don't let Google scare you into eating tasteless food!

Usha Sethi · Answer

Yes, normal cooking vinegar in small amounts is totally fine, dear. Just avoid unpasteurized ones to prevent any stomach infection. Take care and eat fresh foods.

My mom used to make fresh pickles with a tiny bit of vinegar at home. She said homemade is always best and completely safe during pregnancy.

For acidity, instead of vinegar, try drinking cold milk or lemon water, it works wonders. But if you have severe stomach pain, please call your gynac immediately.

Honestly, as long as you aren’t drinking a whole bottle of it, you are fine! Eat your Chinese food and enjoy sleep while you still can, trust me.

I check everything with my nutritionist, and she said organic pasteurized apple cider vinegar is fine in salads. But always consult your doctor before starting any daily health shots with it.

I panicked when I realized I ate noodles with vinegar in my first trimester. But my gynac said normal kitchen vinegar is completely safe in food, so relax!

Sudha Iyer · Answer

I was so scared of any food preservatives after my loss. If you are using vinegar, make sure it is of a good brand, fully pasteurized, and use very little just to be safe.
