A lot of people have different opinions of different food items that can be taken and not taken during pregnancy. You will realize that you will be practically deprived of all food items if you go around taking advice from everyone. While some people say that jaggery is harmful and might cause abortion others will suggest that you take sweets made of jaggery and not sugar to prevent bloating up. I suggest you consult a doctor and then decide on what foods you should and should not take. Many women take shortcuts by asking questions on forums or looking up websites that contain such information, but please remember that pregnancy is an important period and you should take utmost care during this period. So consult your doctor and clearly understand why and which food items should be avoided during pregnancy. What do you say, friends?
