Everyone keeps gifting me kesar ever since they found out im pregnant, lol. Im in week 9 right now and not sure if its too early to start. From which month is the right time? thoda confused.
With my PCOS history, I always had to be cautious about everything I consumed during pregnancy. For saffron, there's a belief it helps, but it's important not to overdo it, especially in early pregnancy. Most doctors suggest it might be safer to start in the third trimester, if at all, and only in very small amounts. Always wise to confirm with your gynac.
Yaar, actually, my MIL and mom both said to start saffron after the 7th month, mostly in milk. They say it helps with baby's complexion, but honestly, it's more for cultural reasons, I think. Just make sure it's good quality saffron and don't take too much. A few strands are enough.
I started taking saffron in my 8th month, just a few strands in warm milk every night. Honestly, I'm not sure if it did anything specific, but it felt good to follow the tradition. My baby is fair, but I think that's more genetics than saffron, haha! But it's a nice relaxing ritual before bed.
Saffron can be quite expensive, so make sure you're buying it from a reputable source if you decide to take it. I personally focused more on a generally nutritious diet, which I felt was more impactful and cost-effective. If you plan to use it, a small quantity after 7 months is typically what's suggested, but always a good idea to confirm with your doctor.
Hey sweetie, don't stress too much about the saffron thing! So many traditions around it, right? Most people start in the third trimester, like after 7 months. It's just a pinch in milk, not a huge deal. Just relax and enjoy your pregnancy!
I can only tell you what I did. I started taking a tiny pinch of saffron in my milk from my 7th month. My MIL insisted on it for a fair baby, so I just went with it. Didn't cause me any issues, but everyone's body is different, so it's a personal choice.
Haan, saffron toh bahut achha hota hai, sab bolte hain. Lekin shuru se nahi khate, na. Log kehte hain 7th month se lena chahiye, garam hota hai. Bas thoda sa doodh mein daal ke piyo. Zyada mat lena, theek hai?
Saffron? Oh god, I just want five minutes of uninterrupted sleep, forget what to eat! I think my MIL forced some on me in the last month of pregnancy for 'good delivery'. Did it work? I dunno, the delivery was still... a delivery! 😂 Just kidding. But mostly, people start it later, like third trimester.
It's a lovely tradition to have saffron during pregnancy, and it can definitely make you feel pampered. I started it in my final trimester, adding a few strands to my warm milk. It helps with relaxation, and I believe it contributed to my overall well-being. Focus on a happy, healthy pregnancy, and discuss any supplements with your doctor.
Please be very, very cautious with saffron, especially in early pregnancy. Some beliefs suggest it could induce contractions, though in very high doses. After my previous loss, I was extremely careful with everything. If you decide to take it, wait until your third trimester and only a tiny amount, or best to ask your doctor directly for reassurance.
