Yes, it is perfectly safe to eat. My doctor actually recommended using garlic and black pepper in rasam as they help boost immunity and improve digestion. Just watch the salt levels if you are facing any pregnancy-induced high blood pressure or swelling.

If you feel your stomach tightening up, try drinking a warm glass of water or taking a warm bath, as dehydration often triggers Braxton Hicks. But please remember, if the contractions become painful, regular, or if you feel any pressure in your lower back, contact your doctor immediately.
