Im 9 weeks and my MIL bought a big jar of mothers horlicks already. But i was wondering is it ok to start now in first trimester or should i wait? anyone started it, when?
Honestly, I drank Mother's Horlicks whenever I managed to remember between my sleep-deprived naps in early pregnancy, haha. Most doctors suggest starting it from the first trimester itself for extra nutrients. But do ask your gynac first, especially if you have nausea.
I remember holding my bump and sipping warm Mother's Horlicks every evening, it was such a peaceful routine. I started it in my second trimester on my doctor's advice when my appetite finally returned. It's a sweet way to get those extra nutrients, but do ask your gynac first.
Haan na, pregnancy me nutrition is so important! My doctor told me to start Mother's Horlicks from the second trimester only, because tab morning sickness thoda kam ho jata hai. Ask your gynac once, they will tell you the best time as per your health.
I was so worried about getting enough nutrition for my baby, so I asked my doctor about Mother's Horlicks in my first visit itself. She told me I can start it in the first trimester if I can tolerate the taste, but suggested to monitor my sugar levels too. Please consult your doctor once to be completely sure it suits you.
I am not a doctor so please ask your gynac before starting any supplements. For me personally, my doctor recommended starting Mother's Horlicks from the second trimester because I had severe nausea in the first 3 months. It really helped me get some extra energy when I couldn't eat much.
