Just found out im around 6 weeks and we are pure veg at home. Im a bit worried about getting enough protein and iron without eating egg or meat. Can the veg mommies share what u all ate in early days?
Honestly in early days i could barely eat with the nausea, so i just ate whatever stayed down, even plain khichdi or toast. Dont stress about a perfect diet yet. Once the sickness eases you can add the proper stuff.
You dont need expensive stuff yaar. Dal, peanuts, curd, banana, seasonal fruit, all simple and cheap and very good. Save the money for your scans and checkups instead.
I am vegetarian and managed fine with dal, curd, paneer, idli, sambar and lots of fruits. My amma always made me sundal and ragi which gave good protein and iron. Of course take the folic acid your doctor gives, food alone isnt enough.
Focus on dal, milk, curd, paneer, nuts, seeds and seasonal fruits and veggies. Add ragi and soaked almonds for iron and protein. Keep taking your prescribed supplements along with this.
