Just found out im pregnant, around 6 weeks. My MIL keeps saying eat this eat that and im totally lost matlab what is actually good to have daily? Looking for some real diet ideas from u all.
At my hospital, the clinical nutritionist gave me a customized diet chart containing ragi, oats, lean protein, and lots of greens. I highly recommend asking your hospital staff or doctor for a proper plan during your next visit, they guide you so well.
Please eat very clean, home-cooked food and avoid anything raw or semi-cooked. Wash your fruits and veggies extra carefully before eating. It is always better to be very sensitive about what we put in our bodies during this precious time.
According to my pregnancy tracker app, eating a rainbow diet with different colored veggies, whole grains, and nuts is best for baby's brain development. It really helped me track my daily protein intake. You can download one of those apps, they are super helpful!
Make sure you eat a lot of fresh fruits, green veggies, and protein like paneer or eggs. But since nutrition requirements can change, do get your thyroid levels checked regularly too. My gynac adjusted my diet and medication based on my monthly blood reports.
While healthy foods like fruits are great, be very careful with high-sugar fruits like mangoes or grapes. Focus more on complex carbs, green leafy vegetables, and high-protein foods like sprouts or paneer. If you can, check with your doctor to make sure your blood sugar stays stable.
