Just got my positive test, around 6 weeks and so happy but clueless about diet. Want to start eating right from the beginning for baby. What all did u include in early days?
Because of my PCOS, I had to be very careful with my insulin levels even in early pregnancy. I focused on foods rich in folate like leafy greens, whole grains, and nuts, while avoiding processed carbs. Please discuss a proper diet plan with your doctor that suits your body.
Focus on affordable and healthy local options like seasonal green veggies, eggs, milk, and sprouts instead of expensive organic labels. We saved a lot by sticking to simple home food, which left us with enough budget for the upcoming scans and hospital delivery packages.
Babe, don't stress too much about eating fancy superfoods! Just eat normal ghar ka khana like dal chawal, curd rice, and fruits. If you have crazy nausea, just eat whatever feels comforting to your tummy in small portions.
Honestly, whatever you can actually manage to keep inside is good food right now! But seriously, try simple things like dry toast, bananas, and coconut water. My brain was too foggy to cook, but basic khichdi was my absolute lifesaver.
Keep it simple: green leafy vegetables, milk, eggs, and seasonal fruits are your best friends in the first trimester. Don't force yourself to overeat, just focus on regular, small, nutrient-rich meals. And make sure you take your folic acid supplements daily as prescribed by your doctor.
