Hey sweetie, don't stress too much about every single food! Pistas are totally fine and actually super healthy for you right now. Just grab a few raw ones whenever you feel like snacking.

I was actually researching this for my sister yesterday. Apparently, pistachios are loaded with protein, fiber, and antioxidants which are great during pregnancy. Just make sure to avoid the heavily salted ones.

Haan, bilkul khao na! Pista is very good for health, bas market se roasted aur salted wale mat lana. Normal wale pistas are much better for you and the baby.

During both my pregnancies, I made a mix of almonds, walnuts, and pistas to have every morning. It helped keep my energy up. Just soak them if you feel they are too heavy on the stomach.

In our days, we ate all kinds of dry fruits in moderation during pregnancy. Pistachios are very nourishing for the growing baby. Do not worry, just eat a small handful daily with your milk.

While pistachios are generally safe and nutritious, it’s always best to verify with your doctor during your routine checkup. Some women might have mild nut allergies or digestive sensitivities during pregnancy that need attention.

I remember crying once because I accidentally ate a handful of salted pistas and panicked about fluid retention. Looking back, I realize how much unnecessary stress I took. A few pistas won't harm you, please be gentle on yourself.
