Can i have honey in pregnancy?

Honey is safe, but please don't use it to self-treat severe coughs or throat infections during pregnancy. I once ignored a persistent throat infection thinking honey-ginger would cure it, and it turned into a severe fever. If you feel sick, get a proper doctor's checkup.

I totally get it, you end up questioning literally everything you eat because you want to keep the baby perfectly safe. Honey is absolutely fine to have in warm water or tea. Just avoid raw or unpasteurized honey from local farms just to be on the safer side.

During my pregnancy checkup at Fortis, my doctor clearly said that processed honey is perfectly safe to consume. However, if you have gestational diabetes, honey still has high sugar, so you must limit your intake. Ask your gynecologist to be absolutely clear.

Haan, honey toh bilkul safe hai, na. Meri dadi toh bolti thi ki subah garm paani mein thoda honey aur lemon peene se acidity kam hoti hai. Bas dhyan rakhna ki achhi brand ka pasteurized honey hi use karo.
