I'm just starting my first month of pregnancy. What kind of foods should I be eating to ensure good health for me and the baby? Please share your suggestions.
Haan na, first month mein toh khane ka mann hi nahi karta. Dal-rice, dahi, aur thode fruits khao jo digest ho sake, ho na? Aur doctor ne jo folic acid diya hai woh roz yaad se lena.
I had a very sensitive pregnancy, so my doctor was very strict. Please stick to completely cooked home food and avoid any unpasteurized dairy or outside salads. It's always best to get a customized diet sheet from your gynac.
I felt so nauseous in my first month and couldn't eat much except dry biscuits and apple slices. Don't force yourself to eat huge meals, just take small bites of whatever you can digest easily.
Listen, don't worry about 'eating for two' right now. Just focus on staying hydrated, having light home-cooked meals, and taking your vitamins. Keep a bowl of roasted makhana or almonds handy for small hunger pangs.
In the first month, focus on starting your folic acid tablets immediately, as prescribed by your doctor. Eat simple, easily digestible foods like dal-rice, khichdi, and fresh fruits. Avoid raw papaya, pineapple, and any uncooked meat.
