Just entered my second month and the nausea is making it so hard to eat anything proper. i want to make sure baby is getting enough even though my appetite is all over the place. what did u all manage to eat in early days?
Honestly in month 2 I could barely keep anything down. I survived on toast, bananas, khichdi, coconut water and nimbu paani. Eat whatever stays in, dont stress about perfect diet right now. Just keep the folic acid going.
You dont need fancy expensive stuff. Seasonal fruits, dal, eggs, peanuts, leafy veg, milk, all cheap and full of nutrition. A folic acid tab from your doctor costs almost nothing and is the important part now.
Keep it simple, dal roti sabzi, fruits, dahi, milk, eggs if u eat them. Take your folic acid daily without fail, thats the big one this stage. If nausea is bad, eat small bits often, dont force big meals.
Amma fed me idli, curd rice, ragi, lots of fruits and a glass of milk daily. Light and easy on the tummy. Add green veggies and dal for iron and protein. And take the supplements your doctor gave, those matter most early on.
I was so confused about food in month 2 too. My doc said dont overthink, just balanced home food and folic acid. Did u start your supplements yet? Thats the main thing this early, the eating evens out as nausea settles.
