My saas says avoid baingan during pregnancy but i love it in curry. Im in second trimester and just confused if its actually a problem or just an old belief. Anyone clarify what ur doc or family said?
Honestly, I ate brinjal sometimes during my pregnancy because I just love baingan bharta! My mom and MIL didn't say anything specific against it, and my doctor didn't give me any strict dietary restrictions other than the usual 'eat healthy, avoid junk'. So from my personal experience, in moderation, it was fine. But always best to check with your own doctor if you have doubts.
My pregnancy was quite complicated, so I was always extra careful about everything I ate. With brinjal, there are mixed opinions in traditional beliefs. To be safe, it's always best to ask your own doctor. They can give you advice tailored to your health and pregnancy, especially if you have any existing conditions. Don't take any chances, just check with your gynac.
Oh, brinjal! If you're craving some yummy baingan bharta or pakoras, I say go for it in moderation! 😂 Honestly, I was all about listening to my cravings (within reason, of course). My doctor never said brinjal was a no-no. Just make sure it's cooked thoroughly and hygenically, like all your food. A little bit here and there should be fine, but if you have any worries, a quick call to your gynac can clear things up!
Hmm, brinjal... I actually didn't eat much brinjal during my pregnancy, mostly because it's not my favourite vegetable, rather than any specific restriction. My doctor gave me a list of general foods to avoid, like certain cheeses or raw seafood, but brinjal wasn't on it. So if you like it, perhaps a small portion would be okay, but for any real concerns, just ask your gynac, they know best.
Well, I had a normal, healthy pregnancy and delivery, and I did eat brinjal occasionally. In Indian households, there are many traditional beliefs about food, but scientifically, brinjal is generally considered safe when cooked well. It's not usually on the list of foods to strictly avoid. Just eat it in moderation and make sure it's fresh and clean. If you're concerned, your doctor is the best person to ask.
