We just started planning for a baby this month and I want to fix my diet properly from now itself. What all should I be eating yaar, any good foods to add? Looking for real things you all actually did, not just google list.
First thing, please ask your doctor to start you on a folic acid supplement as it's very important when planning. Apart from that, eat simple home-cooked meals, drink lots of water, and don't take stress.
While eating healthy fats and greens is great, please get your basic blood work done first. My doctor found I was highly vitamin D deficient, which can affect conception, so medical guidance is key.
I changed my whole diet to organic fruits and milk when we were trying, and luckily got pregnant in 3 months! Did anyone else feel like changing their food habits completely changed their energy levels too?
I just focused on eating lots of green leafy veggies, eggs, and almonds daily. I also cut down on junk food and outside food completely during those months.
Beta, start having soaked almonds and walnuts every morning. Avoid very oily and spicy street food, and keep your body cool with fresh buttermilk and seasonal fruits.
Because of my PCOS, I had to focus on a low-carb diet with high protein like paneer, dal, and sprouts to improve egg quality. If you have any hormonal imbalance, managing your sugar intake really helps.
