Mostly veg ghar pe so im a bit worried im not getting enough protein for the baby. Im in second trimester now. Kitna actually chahiye daily and how do you all manage it?
My doctor stressed protein a lot for healing and baby's growth. After my C-section, it was even more important for recovery. I had to focus on lean meats, lentils, and paneer. It really helps with strength too.
Look, protein is super important but don't obsess over exact numbers. Just make sure every meal has a good source: dal, eggs, paneer, chicken, sprouts. My doc said aiming for a little extra than usual is good, maybe like 2-3 portions of protein-rich foods daily. It helps keep you full too.
Right now, I feel like I need protein just to lift myself off the couch! My gynac mentioned around 70-75 grams, but honestly, some days it's just about getting food in without heartburn. Smoothies with protein powder (doc approved!) are my best friend, especially when I'm too tired to chew.
I'm in my second trimester now and my doctor just told me to focus a lot on protein. I'm trying to add more lentils and eggs, but sometimes I just don't feel like eating that much. Does anyone else struggle to meet their protein goals?
Generally, it's recommended to increase your protein intake, maybe around 70-100 grams daily, depending on your individual needs and activity level. This is crucial for your baby's development and for maintaining your own energy. Always best to discuss with your gynac, as they can give you personalized advice.
Protein toh bahut zaroori hai beta. Doctor ne bola tha har meal mein thoda protein ho. Dal, dahi, paneer, ya anda kha sakte ho. Subah ek glass doodh peena bhi acha hai. Zyada tension mat lo, bas thoda dhyan rakho.
