Well, you finally have a great excuse to say no to tinda and karela! But seriously, just avoid raw sprouts and unwashed salads because of bacteria risks. Cook everything nicely and you are good to go!

My MIL always told me to avoid raw papaya and eggplant, though my doctor said cooked eggplant is fine but raw papaya is a strict no. Also, our elders always emphasize washing leafy vegetables multiple times. Just stick to clean, home-cooked meals!

Arey, raw sprouts aur unwashed vegetables bilkul nahi khane chahiye, ho na? Unme bacteria ka khatra hota hai jo pregnancy mein theek nahi hai. Sab kuch acche se paka kar hi khao, haan na.

Due to my PCOS history, I had to be very mindful of my diet during pregnancy. I avoided raw sprouts and unwashed leafy greens entirely to prevent infections. Always wash everything thoroughly and consult your doctor for a personalized diet chart.
