Can I eat glutinous rice balls during (first trimester) pregnancy?

I know that it is best to avoid sweet desserts. But is glutinous rice balls in ginger soup fine..?

It’s okay to eat sweet stuff in moderation, my gynae even said drinking bubble tea or coke is fine as it helps with blood sugar level and prevents dizziness or fainting. Prob they will only recommend to cut down on sugar if mummy has gestational diabetes(tested in second trimester).

My gynae said gestational diabetes is quite common in pregnancy hence strongly advised that I avoid sweet stuffs especially when I'm pregnant with twins. However he did mention bubbletea during first trimester is fine. Thanks for refreshing my memory! :)

Yes can. Eat in moderation.
