Im 11 weeks and want to build a good diet from now itself. Honestly i get confused with all the lists online. Just want to know what you all actually ate that kept u and baby healthy.
I know how stressful it is to worry if you are eating the 'right' things for the baby. Honestly, as long as you are eating clean, freshly cooked home food and taking your prescribed vitamins, you are doing amazing, so please don't stress.
Keep it simple. Eat seasonal fruits, green leafy vegetables, milk, and dals daily. Cut down on outside junk food and bakery items entirely, that's more than enough for a healthy baby.
Focus on a balanced plate with enough protein like paneer, eggs, or dals, along with your daily calcium. Make sure you don't skip your prenatal vitamins, as eating alone sometimes isn't enough to cover all micronutrients.
Please consult your gynecologist to get a customized diet chart, as everyone's body is different. I had complications, and my doctor had to restrict certain foods while increasing others. Don't just follow random internet diets.
With two babies growing inside, I felt like a 24/7 eating machine! Focus on double the nutrition, not double the quantity—so lots of eggs, curd, dry fruits, and green veggies to keep your energy up.
I didn't have time for fancy meal prep, so I stuck to easy things like soaked almonds, apple slices with peanut butter, and simple dal-chawal. Carry healthy snacks to work so you don't end up ordering junk when hunger strikes.
