Just found out im pregnant, around 6 weeks and feeling clueless about food. Half the things I read online contradict each other yaar. Can someone share what they ate in the starting weeks?
Ah, the sweet early days when you can actually fit a proper meal in your stomach! Now in my 3rd trimester, my baby squashes my stomach so much I can barely eat two rotis. Eat simple, nutritious home-cooked meals now and enjoy the space while it lasts!
Honestly, in the first trimester, just eat whatever stays inside your stomach! I practically lived on plain glucose biscuits and cold water because everything else made me want to throw up. Don't stress too much about a perfect diet right now.
I am in my second trimester now, but during early pregnancy, I could only eat basic dry toast and khichdi. Did anyone else also feel completely disgusted by the smell of garlic and tadka? I was so worried I wasn't giving enough nutrition to the baby.
Along with eating nutritious foods like almonds, fruits, and milk, make sure to keep your mind positive and peaceful. Eating satvik, simple home-cooked meals is best for both your health and the baby's positive growth. God will take care of everything, just stay happy.
For a healthy pregnancy, I focused a lot on simple ghar ka khana like dal, rice, and fresh green veggies. Eating small portions every two hours really helped me keep my energy up. Staying active and eating clean definitely helped me in my normal delivery journey.
You don't need to buy fancy berries or expensive imported foods to be healthy. Just stick to seasonal local fruits, simple dal-roti, curd, and boiled eggs if you eat them. It is cheap, easily available, and gives all the required vitamins and protein you need.
In my early pregnancy, I had some severe nausea and light spotting, so my doctor gave me a very strict diet chart. Please make sure to discuss your diet with your gynecologist, especially if you are facing any severe vomiting or stomach pain. Do not try heavy herbs or raw papaya.
I felt so guilty in my early weeks because my mother-in-law wanted me to eat heavy dry fruits, but I just couldn't digest them. I realized later that simple coconut water and apple slices were enough for me then. Listen to your body and don't force yourself to overeat.
