Just entered 9th week and the nausea is so bad that nothing stays down. I dont want the baby to miss out on nutrition though. What did u eat at this stage that was easy on the tummy?
My dietician at the hospital advised me to focus on folic acid and protein-rich foods like sprouts and milk at 9 weeks. If you are struggling with severe nausea, please ask your doctor for a safe anti-vomiting tablet. They have excellent guidelines for this.
I've been reading up on early pregnancy diets since we're trying. At 9 weeks, baby's brain and organs are developing fast, so foods rich in folate and DHA, like walnuts and green leafy vegetables, are supposed to be great!
Keep it simple and quick to prepare because energy is low in the 9th week. Keep roasted chana, almonds, and fruits handy at your office desk. Focus on small, high-protein snacks like paneer or boiled eggs to beat the fatigue.
At 9 weeks, my morning sickness was at its peak and I could barely look at food. I survived on ginger tea, dry toast, and apple slices. Just focus on staying hydrated with coconut water or lemon water if you cant eat heavy meals.
I totally understand how hard it is to eat when you might be feeling so nauseous and tired at 9 weeks. Just eat what your heart desires, even if it's just plain khichdi or some cold curd. Your comfort and peace of mind are what matter most right now.
Dont overcomplicate your diet right now. Just stick to fresh, easily digestible home-cooked meals like dal-chawal, vegetable soup, and some soaked dry fruits. Avoid raw papaya, pineapple, and excessive spicy food.
I panicked because I couldn't eat any green veggies in my 9th week due to food aversions. But my doctor reassured me that it is completely normal and the baby is getting nutrients from my prenatal vitamins anyway. So eat what you can and dont stress!
