Just got my positive test, im barely 5 weeks. Thoda confused about what all to add in my diet from now. Anyone can share what they ate in the starting weeks?
I had such terrible morning sickness that the smell of tadka made me throw up instantly. Honestly, just eat dry biscuits or toast first thing in the morning before getting out of bed. Sucking on ginger candies or lemon water also helps a lot to keep nausea away so you can eat basic meals.
In the early days, focus on light home-cooked meals like dal-rice and khichdi which are easy on the stomach. I had a C-section later on, and keeping my digestion smooth from the very beginning really helped my body cope better with recovery. Dont force yourself to eat heavy stuff if you dont feel like it.
Since I was working, I didn't have time for elaborate cooking. I kept dry fruits, roasted makhana, and apples at my office desk. Pack a simple curd rice or paneer sandwich for lunch—quick, healthy, and keeps your energy up without extra kitchen effort.
My little one is running around now, but back in those early days, I was constantly worried about eating the perfect diet. Reassuring you now that even if you can only manage basic roti and milk, your baby will be fine. Just take your folic acid regularly and eat whatever simple food stays down.
I am also planning to start a family soon and reading these tips is so helpful. My MIL suggested eating soaked almonds and light kheer in the morning, hope that is good to start with.
