My amma made sure I had milk, dates, ghee and lots of dal during this time. Home cooked nourishing food helps. But follow your doctors diet advice mainly, they know your baby growth.

Focus on protein and good fats, dal, eggs, paneer, nuts, milk and ghee. Eat small frequent meals rather than stuffing. But let your gynac track baby weight on scans and guide your diet.

I had to increase nutrition without spiking sugar, so I focused on protein and healthy fats, not sweets. Dietician guided me well. Please do it under your doctors plan, especially if sugar is a concern.
