My MIL keeps telling me to have akhrot daily for baby brain. I just want to know is there a right time, like morning empty stomach ya anytime? Thoda confused so asking here.
You can eat them right from the first trimester as they are rich in DHA and omega-3, which is great for baby's brain. My doctor suggested soaking 2-3 walnuts overnight and having them first thing in the morning to get the best nutrition.
Honestly, dry fruits were so hard for me to digest because of my severe morning sickness. If you are throwing up a lot, don't force yourself to eat them in the first trimester. You can easily start them in the second trimester when your stomach settles down a bit.
I had some complications in my early pregnancy, so my doctor had put me on a very strict diet. Please check with your gynac once before adding dry fruits to your routine, just to be absolutely safe for your specific case.
You can start eating them from the very beginning, beta. Soaking them overnight makes them easy to digest. Keep your mind peaceful, eat healthy, and trust that God is protecting your little one.
Actually, you can have them anytime throughout your pregnancy, yaar. Just soak them overnight because raw walnuts can sometimes cause body heat. I used to put them in my morning oats or just have them raw with some raisins.
Since I have PCOS, I had to be very careful with my insulin levels and diet. I started having 2 soaked walnuts daily from the second trimester after consulting my doctor, as they are great for healthy fats. Just don't overeat them, moderation is key.
Haan na, you can eat them daily! I used to soak 2 walnuts every night and eat them in the morning with my milk. It is very good for the baby, definitely start having them.
I just delivered a few months ago and I ate walnuts throughout my pregnancy. My mom used to give me soaked walnuts and almonds every morning, and it really helped keep my energy levels up.
