What foods to eat during first trimester of pregnancy?
I'm in my first trimester and sometimes struggle with what to eat, especially with all the nausea. What healthy and easy-to-digest foods do you recommend eating during the first trimester of pregnancy?
Same here, I am currently in my 9th week and struggling so much to eat anything! The smell of tadka makes me puke instantly. Are you also finding it hard to eat normal home food, or is it just me?
Sending you so much love, sweetie, this early phase is really tough but it will pass soon. I remember feeling so guilty for not eating enough green veggies, but my doc said baby takes whatever they need. Just eat simple home-cooked food and whatever keeps you happy.
First trimester is all about basic survival, so please dont stress too much about having a perfect diet. Try to have small frequent meals like roasted chana, khichdi, and fresh fruits to keep the energy up. Plain milk and curd are also great if you can digest them easily.
Oh I felt so terribly nauseous in my first trimester, literally nothing would go down. I mostly lived on light things like dry toast, apples, and coconut water. Just listen to your body and don't force yourself to eat heavy meals if u feel like throwing up.
In my home, my MIL made sure I had soaked almonds every morning and simple ghee-roti. She kept saying not to eat too spicy or oily food right now because acidity gets bad. Honestly, simple ghar ka khana is the best for these early months.
I kept my diet clean with green leafy veggies, boiled eggs, and soaked almonds to stay active. Along with healthy eating, a light 15-minute walk really helped my digestion, but only do walks or light yoga if your doctor has allowed it.
