‘Loh aa Gayi Lohri we’, Lohri is an occasion that involves lighting bonfires, eating traditional foods, and singing and dancing. The prominent feature of this celebration is a massive bonfire that is lighted, and everyone gathers around it to sing and dance the bhangra and gidda.
When festivals approach, it becomes rather tricky for pregnant ladies or moms-to-be. There are a lot of dos and don’ts for a pregnant woman. Instead of letting pregnancy ruin your festival experience, here are a few recommendations for having a fun and lively Lohri 2022 while pregnant.
Shop for your bundle of joy
Expectant mothers may go shopping for their new baby while ignoring religious beliefs that prohibit it.
Fulfill your pregnancy cravings
It is critical to maintain a close eye on one’s food in pregnancy. Thus, pregnant women may indulge in fruits, nutritious desserts, and homemade snacks while maintaining a healthy calorie intake. It is vital to choose a healthy diet. Pregnant women should consume walnuts, almonds, raisins, figs, and khajur-based sweets prepared with jaggery instead of sugar since they are sugar-free. They can go for revari and gajjak as they are healthy and yummy. This is a great time to make your favourite foods and cook to your heart’s content if you enjoy cooking.
Do not fast
Pregnant women should avoid fasting since it is unhealthy. The fetus requires continuous nourishment, and fasting stunts its growth. It is critical to avoid crowded areas during festivals since the crowds can be rowdy and disorderly, and one must protect themselves from any unwanted injury.
Avoiding loud gatherings
it s crucial since extremely high sound decibel levels can harm a pregnant woman.
Enjoy Lohri 2022 with great pomp and show and indulge in sweets, popcorn and a lot of love. Hope this Lohri brings immense joy for all moms-to-be.
