First pregnancy here and im honestly so paranoid about putting the wrong thing in my mouth. Like which foods or medicines should I completely avoid? MIL keeps telling me random things so I want to know from actual experiences.
I totally understand how stressful it is to constantly worry about what is safe and what is not. Just avoid raw papaya, pineapple, and any unpasteurized dairy. Don't worry, you are doing great, just ask your gynac for a safe food list.
Ho na, options itne kam ho jate hain khaane ke! Avoid raw eggs, semi-cooked meat, and too much caffeine. Aur haan, no self-medication at all, green tea bhi limit me hi peena.
Strictly avoid raw seafood, unpasteurized milk, and papaya. Also, stay away from random herbal supplements or green teas unless your doctor says yes. Eat simple, freshly cooked home food, that is the safest.
I am so confused about this too! My MIL told me to avoid saffron in early months, and my gynac said absolutely no raw papaya. Are you guys also over-checking every single ingredient before eating?
Looking back, I realized we worry way too much about this. Just avoid the main culprits like raw papaya, ajinomoto, and unprescribed medicines. Regular Indian home-cooked meals are completely fine, so don't stress over every bite.
