I'm in my first trimester and struggling with nausea and what to eat. How should I eat in pregnancy in the first 3 months? Are there specific foods to focus on?
You don't need expensive organic superfoods to stay healthy. Simple seasonal fruits, dal chawal, roti, and curd are cheap, healthy, and perfect for the first trimester. Focus on saving up for the important scans coming up in the 3rd month.
First trimester is tough with work and nausea, so keep it simple. Don't worry about elaborate meals; just eat small, frequent portions of whatever you can digest easily. Carry dry fruits or crackers to office to avoid an empty stomach.
First trimester is a very delicate phase, so please avoid raw papaya, pineapple, or half-cooked eggs completely. Focus on simple, clean, home-cooked food and take all your prescribed supplements on time. Your safety and peace of mind are most important.
I just crossed my first trimester and honestly, I could only eat cold curd rice and plain khichdi because of bad nausea. Did anyone else feel guilty for not eating green veggies in the first 3 months?
Look, in the first 3 months, baby is tiny and doesn't need extra calories. Just eat basic home-cooked food, take your folic acid regularly, and don't force yourself to eat if you feel nauseous. Drink lots of water and rest.
