Just found out im pregnant, barely few weeks in and im so clueless about food. Matlab what all should i be eating in this first month for the baby? Pls share what worked for you all.
I know how stressful it is to think about what is safe to eat in the beginning! Just stick to simple, easily digestible foods like khichdi and curd rice. Don't force yourself to eat heavy meals if you feel sick.
In the first month, focus on foods rich in folic acid like green leafy veggies, whole grains, and citrus fruits. I tracked my meals and made sure to eat light, small portions to manage early nausea.
Keep your diet basic and clean—no raw or undercooked foods. Folic acid is super important this month, so take your vitamins regularly. Eat fresh fruits, well-cooked dals, and plenty of water.
I found that eating small, frequent meals of simple home food like idli, poha, and boiled eggs worked best. Keep yourself hydrated with coconut water or lemon water.
Just eat simple, freshly cooked home meals like dal, rice, and light rotis right now. Avoid outside food, raw papaya, and pineapple completely. Take your folic acid supplements regularly as prescribed by your doctor.
