First baby and honestly im a little lost about diet. Im in my 3rd month, appetite is finally back thoda. Just want to know what all i should add daily for the baby, pls share what worked for u.
I don't want to give any diet charts because I'm not a doctor, but personally, I focused on homemade foods. I ate lots of dal, curd, fresh seasonal fruits, and soaked almonds every morning. It kept my energy levels good throughout the nine months.
After a long IVF journey, I was extremely careful with my diet. Focus on clean, well-cooked, and nutrient-rich food like dairy, pulses, and boiled eggs to support your precious little one. Take it one day at a time, and nourish yourself gently and lovingly.
Along with eating a balanced diet of proteins and fiber, please ensure you get regular blood tests done. I had thyroid issues during my pregnancy, so my doctor had to adjust my diet and medicine dosage every month. Keeping a check on your reports is very important.
In my first trimester, I panicked because I couldn't eat anything due to heavy vomiting, and felt I was starving my baby! But my doctor reassured me that baby gets what they need, and normal eating resumes in the second trimester. Just eat whatever small meals you can digest easily right now.
Your diet plan should be highly customized. At my hospital, the clinical nutritionist gave me a detailed chart focusing on proteins, iron, and calcium. I highly recommend asking your hospital's dietician during your next checkup so you get exactly what your body needs.
I am currently in my 5th month and trying to eat lots of green veggies, eggs, and dry fruits. But honestly, some days I just want pizza! What are your go-to healthy snacks that actually taste good? Let's share some ideas!
My mother-in-law insisted on giving me ragi malt, ghee, and traditional lentils daily for strength. While I followed her loving advice, I also strictly took the iron and calcium supplements my doctor prescribed. A balance of healthy home food and doctor's advice is perfect.
