I've bought Mother's Horlicks for pregnancy, but I'm not sure about the right time to start drinking it. From which month or trimester should I begin consuming it, and how often?
Ideally, u can start it in your second trimester when baby's growth picks up. But pls remember it's just a supplement, not a replacement for your daily food. Keep tracking your weight and check with your doc at your next routine scan.
Haan na, even I was confused about this in my first trimester. My gynac told me to start it from the second trimester, around the 4th month. It actually tastes quite nice with warm milk in the evening.
I can only tell u what worked for me. I started drinking it from my fifth month when my appetite finally came back. It really helped me with my evening energy levels, but definitely ask your own doc first.
I am currently in my 5th month and my MIL bought this box for me yesterday. I am thoda scared to try it without asking my gynac first. Have any of u started it without asking your doc, or should I wait for my next checkup?
Honestly, dont rush to buy expensive powders unless your doctor says it is absolutely necessary. We already have so many costs with scans, blood tests, and the hospital delivery package. I just stuck to ghar ka khana and normal milk to save some money for the baby.
Oh God, I remember drinking this to feel healthy, now I barely get time to drink cold chai! I started around the 12th week because milk alone was making me puke. It is a lifesaver if u need some flavor to gulp down milk, trust me.
