What should we eat during first trimester of pregnancy?
Im 7 weeks and honestly so confused about my diet. Nausea is there so half the things i cant even look at, but i still want to make sure baby is getting enough. What did u all eat in the early weeks that actually stayed down?
My amma told me to keep eating idli, kanji, simple home food in the beginning. Easy on stomach. But also ask your doctor about iron and folic acid, that part is important to confirm with them.
I try to keep it balanced, protein like eggs paneer dal, plus fruits and enough water. My gynac said dont diet, dont overeat, just eat clean. Also she okayed light walking which helped my digestion.
Focus on folic acid foods na, dark green veggies, dal, citrus fruits. Eat small meals 5-6 times instead of 3 big ones. And take the folic acid tablet your gynac gives, food alone isnt enough in first 3 months.
If nausea is troubling you dont stress about perfect diet yaar. Keep dry biscuits near your bed, nibble before getting up. Ginger water and lemon helped me thoda. Real nutrition i started once the sickness eased around month 4.
In my first trimester I honestly couldnt eat much, everything made me feel sick. I just ate small things often, like a banana, some curd rice, dry toast. Whatever stayed down was a win for me that time honestly.
