My saas says certain sabzi should not be eaten when pregnant but she couldnt tell me which exactly. Im 3 months in and want to be careful. Which veggies did your doc or family ask you to skip?
Haan, bilkul sahi kaha sabne, raw sprouts bilkul mat khana. Aur haan, baingan aur kathal bhi thoda limit mein hi khana chahiye, heavy hote hain na digest karne ke liye. Always wash leafy greens properly.
There's no need to stress, dear. Just avoid raw sprouts and make sure you wash spinach and cauliflower very carefully to remove any dirt or tiny insects. Cooked food is always safest for you and the baby right now.
Honestly, you can eat almost all vegetables, just avoid raw sprouts because they can carry bacteria. Make sure you wash everything thoroughly and cook them properly. If you ever feel severe stomach pain or vomiting after eating anything, please consult your doctor immediately.
With twins, I had double the hunger but honestly no time for complicated rules! Just don't eat raw sprouts or unwashed leafy greens that can cause infections. Cook everything till it's dead, and you are perfectly fine.
I'm currently in my 20th week and my doctor told me to avoid raw sprouts and brinjal in excess. Did anyone else's doctor advise against brinjal? I get so confused about what is safe and what is not.
I remember being so confused about what to eat and what to avoid, it is such an emotional roller coaster. Just avoid raw sprouts and undercooked veggies, and make sure your greens are washed super well. You are doing great, mama, don't worry too much about these small things.
My saas told me to avoid kathal (jackfruit) and suran (yam) because they are 'garam' for the body. While doctor said just avoid raw or unwashed salads, I followed my MIL's advice too just to be peaceful at home.
I made sure to include lots of cooked greens in my diet, but avoided raw salads from outside. My doctor allowed me to continue my light yoga and daily walks, which really helped my digestion. Just stick to clean, home-cooked food.
Oh god, I used to wash my veggies three times in warm water because I was so scared of toxoplasmosis! I completely avoided raw lettuce and pre-cut salads from restaurants. It is just safer to eat fully cooked, home-made veggies during these nine months.
Suno, dirty and unwashed vegetables are the real enemy, not any specific vegetable itself. Avoid raw cabbage or radish from outside salads because they can have worms or bacteria. Cook everything nicely at home and you are good to go.
