What should i eat in third trimester of pregnancy?
Just entered my 8th month and want to make sure baby gets good weight in these last weeks. Looking to fix my diet properly now. What did you all focus on eating in the last trimester?
My amma made me ragi, lots of greens and a glass of milk daily in the last months. Light home food sat best on my full tummy. Trust your doctor's diet advice too along with it.
Focus on protein, iron, calcium and fibre, smaller frequent meals worked better as the belly got crowded. I ate dals, eggs, fruits, dairy and lots of veg. Keep hydrated and avoid heavy oily food at night.
You dont need fancy expensive foods at all. Simple dal, eggs, seasonal fruit, curd and green veg covered everything for me. I asked the doctor and she said home food is more than enough.
In my third trimester I watched my sugar so I kept meals balanced, more protein and veg, less sweets and refined stuff. Small frequent meals helped my levels and the heartburn. If you have any sugar concerns, plan meals with your doctor.
Right now I eat like a bird because the baby is sitting on my stomach haha. Small frequent meals are saving me from that stuffed feeling. Lots of fruit and curd between meals.
