Dr. Atchara Venkatraman, Child Development Consultant and Founder of Bump2cradle says that nutritious seeds should be consumed during pregnancy.
These are high in essential fatty acids, vitamin B, protein, and minerals, all of which are beneficial to the developing foetus's growth.
Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are one of these seeds because they are high in Omega-3 fatty acids, which are necessary for a fetus's brain growth throughout pregnancy.
Pumpkin seeds
Nausea can be relieved by eating pumpkin seeds. One spoonful of pumpkin seeds helps protect you from feeling pukish.
Sunflower Seeds
Sunflower seeds are high in iron and can be had as snacks while pregnant. During the third trimester, iron is especially important for the foetus, and sunflower seeds are a fantastic source of it.
Sesame Seeds
Sesame seeds are rich in calcium, which is important for the development of the baby's bones and teeth. They also contain iron, which helps to prevent anaemia.
Poppy Seeds
Poppy seeds are a good source of calcium, iron, and zinc. They also contain magnesium, which aids in the regulation of blood pressure. Poppy seeds can be added to bread, muffins, or salads.
DISCLAIMER
Do not eat the seeds in excess. Always consult a doctor before trying anything new during pregnancy to ensure that you can have it or not.
