Just found out im expecting and im suddenly so conscious about what im putting on my plate. Want to start eating right from the beginning itself. What foods helped u all the most during pregnancy?
I focused on protein like eggs, dal and paneer, plus greens and fruits for iron and folate. Stayed hydrated and avoided too much fried stuff. A balanced plate plus my gentle walks kept me feeling good.
Fresh home cooked meals with dal, rice, veggies, curd and fruit kept me well throughout. My amma added a little ghee and soaked nuts in the mornings. Keep it simple and balanced, and follow what your doctor advises for supplements.
You dont need expensive superfoods, honestly. Dal, seasonal fruits, eggs, milk and groundnuts cover most of it cheaply. I planned simple home meals and it kept both health and budget in check.
