Just hit 6 weeks and honestly nausea is bohot bad, kuch bhi khane ka mann nahi karta. Want to make sure baccha is getting enough even with this. What did u all eat that actually stayed down?
I totally understand how stressful this early phase is, I used to overthink every single bite in my 6th week! Try not to stress too much, bacha. Just stick to gentle foods like curd rice or apple slices, and don't force yourself if you have aversions.
My gynac explained that in the 6th week, the baby's neural tube is developing, so folate-rich foods are super important. She told me to include spinach, lentils, and citrus fruits daily. Also, make sure to avoid papaya, pineapple, and raw eggs completely.
Look, don't make it too complicated. Eat simple, freshly cooked home meals and avoid outside junk food completely. Take your folic acid tablets regularly as prescribed and drink plenty of water. No need to eat for two, just eat clean.
Honestly, since I had severe spotting early on, I am very careful about this. At 6 weeks, please consult your gynac first before starting any special diet. Normally, light things like basic khichdi or dry toast are safe if u feel nauseous, but run it by your doc.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Focus on simple ghar ka khana like dal, rice, paneer, and lots of green veggies. I did the same and had a smooth normal delivery, so just eat fresh, home-cooked meals and stay active.
