Just got my positive test and im 5 weeks, super happy but also clueless about food. nausea hasnt fully started yet so want to eat right while i can. what did you all have in the first weeks?
Honestly in my first weeks I could barely eat anything, everything made me sick. I survived on toast, lemon water and bananas. Dont force big meals, just eat whatever stays down and keep folic acid going.
Focus on folate rich foods like spinach, dals and citrus, plus your prescribed folic acid. I also added milk and nuts slowly. Your doctor is the best person to tell you the right diet for your body.
You dont need fancy expensive things actually. Dal, rice, seasonal fruits, eggs and milk did the job for me. The folic acid tablet is cheap and the most needed, dont skip it.
In early days I kept it simple, idli, curd rice, fruits and lots of water. My amma always said eat small and often so nausea stays away. But take your folic acid that the doctor gives, that part is most important.
