I always tell everyone to keep it simple with dal, rice, roti, and green veggies. Add some coconut water in the mornings for hydration. Your body knows what to do, just eat at regular intervals.
Honestly, there is no need to eat for two, that is a huge myth. Just focus on quality over quantity. Get some Greek yogurt, lean proteins, and fresh fruits in your daily diet, and you are good to go.
Beta, just eat freshly cooked meals and avoid outside junk as much as possible. Milk, curd, and seasonal fruits are amazing for the little one. Don't worry too much about the weight, focus on nutrition.
Focus on green veggies and pulses, they really help. I had a C-section and eating healthy beforehand definitely made my post-surgery recovery a bit easier. Just eat simple ghar ka khana and don't force-feed yourself too much.
My doctor clearly told me that baby needs proteins and calcium the most for proper development. So I included paneer, eggs, and a handful of almonds daily. Also, she told me not to skip my prenatal vitamins as they are super crucial.
