I love chinese food and noodles but my friend told me MSG is not good now that im pregnant. I dont even fully understand why. Is it actually harmful for baccha or just a myth?
I am in my 6th month and accidentally ate noodles with MSG yesterday, now I am so anxious. My doctor said occasional MSG won't harm the baby but I should avoid it regularly. Did any of you eat Chinese food during your pregnancy?
Ho na, MSG khane se pyaas bahut lagti hai and hands-feet me swelling aa jati hai. It has high sodium content which is not good for BP during pregnancy. Better to avoid street Chinese and eat ghar ka simple food.
When I was pregnant, I noticed that eating foods with MSG made me feel extremely bloated and restless. It can cross the placenta in small amounts, so it's best to limit it for the baby's comfort too. Stick to homemade, simple food.
I can only share my personal experience; I completely avoided MSG because it gave me massive heartburn and bloating in my first trimester. My gynac just advised me to eat fresh food, so I stuck to that.
I totally understand those Chinese food cravings during pregnancy, they are so hard to resist! MSG is generally avoided because it can cause dehydration and severe headaches, which is tough on your body right now. Please take care of yourself and try to eat fresh food.
MSG has high sodium which leads to water retention and swelling in your feet, which is already a pain in pregnancy. Try making homemade noodles using fresh garlic and black pepper instead of store-bought sauces. If you get severe swelling or high BP, consult your doctor.
Haan, MSG se thodi acidity aur dehydration ho sakti hai, isliye mana karte hain. Kabhie kabhie khana thik hai, par roz roz baahar ka Chinese mat khao na. Ghar pe hi healthy banake kha lo, safe rahega.
MSG can sometimes spike your blood pressure and cause fluid retention, which is risky if you have other conditions like thyroid or gestational diabetes. Keep your routine checkups regular and discuss your diet with your doctor.
