is sugarcane juice good in pregnancy - #23644
I am 20 weeks pregnant and I've been craving sugarcane juice like crazy. My friends keep telling me that sugarcane juice is good in pregnancy and that it has some great nutrients, but I'm not really sure how true it is. I mean, I love the taste and it feels refreshing, especially in this heat! But I also read somewhere that too much sugar isn't great during this time. The other day, I had a small glass, and I felt really energetic afterward—like, way more than I do with other drinks. But then, like, I had a thought—what if sugarcane juice has too much sugar or isn’t good for my baby? Is sugarcane juice good in pregnancy, or should I be concerned about the sugar content? I asked my doctor, but she just gave me a vague answer about moderation. I'm also wondering if sugarcane juice helps with digestion, as I sometimes feel a bit bloated. Plus, are there any downsides to having it too often? It feels like there's always new 'rules' about what's healthy and what's not while I'm pregnant. Bottom line, should I indulge in this craving or be a bit more cautious? Is sugarcane juice good in pregnancy or is there something I’m missing here?
