Dry fruits are great, but if you have gestational diabetes, you have to be very careful with raisins and dates because they spike sugar. Stick to 4-5 soaked almonds and walnuts in the morning, and avoid dried figs or sweet ones without checking your blood sugar.
You can start having soaked almonds right from the first trimester. After my C-section, my mother gave me a mix of walnuts and almonds daily to help with healing and energy for breastfeeding.
Since my pregnancy had some complications, my doctor advised me to avoid warm foods like dates in the first trimester. It is safer to ask your gynac before eating a lot of dry fruits early on.
Eating dry fruits in the morning with a calm mind is wonderful for the baby. Just take a handful of soaked almonds and walnuts, express gratitude, and keep your body nourished.
I started eating soaked almonds and walnuts every morning from my second trimester! It’s super healthy and gives you so much energy. Just soak them overnight to remove the skin.
