I had a very delicate pregnancy with blood pressure issues, so my doctor was very strict about my diet. While cottage cheese is a great source of calcium, you have to be extremely careful that it is pasteurized to avoid any bacterial infections. Always double-check with your gynecologist before adding new things to your daily meals.

I cannot give any medical advice on this, but during my own pregnancy last year, I ate homemade paneer almost every other day. It was very easy on my stomach and helped me meet my daily protein needs. I did not face any digestive issues with it.

Yes, it is very good and completely safe during pregnancy if made from pasteurized milk. It provides essential calcium and protein for the baby.

My health tracker app constantly reminded me to hit my daily protein targets during my second trimester. Cottage cheese is super high in casein protein and phosphorus, which are great for fetal growth. I used to log about 100 grams of it in my app daily for a healthy nutrient score.
