Im just 6 weeks and so confused about what to eat and what to avoid. My MIL keeps adding new things to the no list everyday lol. Can you all share which foods i should actually stay away from?
Ugh, don't even get me started! All the yummy stuff like sushi, soft cheeses, and unpasteurized juices are a big no-no. And alcohol, obviously. It's so hard when you have cravings, but thinking about the baby helps me resist. Still, I miss my paneer tikka sometimes, honestly!
Yeah, my gynac gave me a whole list! Raw eggs, undercooked meat, unpasteurized milk products, and certain fish with high mercury levels like shark or swordfish. What about street food, ladies? I'm still pregnant and sometimes crave chaat, but my mom says no, so confused!
I just delivered a few months ago, and my doc was very strict about no raw papaya, no pineapple in early pregnancy, and no unpasteurized dairy. Also, avoid cold cuts and anything that isn't freshly made. It's tough, but totally worth it for a healthy baby, trust me.
Oh, I totally understand how confusing it can be trying to figure out what's safe to eat during pregnancy. It feels like everyone has an opinion! Just remember to focus on fresh, home-cooked meals and avoid anything raw or unpasteurized. You're doing great just by asking and caring so much for your little one, don't worry.
Best to avoid raw or undercooked meats, unpasteurized dairy, and anything that might give you food poisoning, like outside street food that isn't hygienic. Focus on simple, ghar ka khana and boil your milk properly. Wash fruits and veggies thoroughly before eating. Basic hygiene goes a long way, and is easy to follow.
