Newly pregnant and honestly clueless about what all i should avoid. Got so many dos and donts from everyone na that im scared to eat anything wrong. Can u all tell me the main foods to stay away from?
Honestly, ghar pe toh so many things they tell you not to eat! My mom and mausi were super strict with me. They didn't let me have anything outside, like street food ya processed stuff. Also, papaya and pineapple they said to totally avoid, especially in early months. Just to be safe, you know.
With twins, my diet chart felt twice as long, lol! But really, the main things are raw meat, seafood, and eggs, definitely avoid. Also, limit caffeine a lot. My doctor was quite firm about food safety due to the double load on my body. Better to stick to simple, fresh, and well-cooked meals.
As someone with PCOS, I was extra careful with my diet throughout. My gynac specifically asked me to cut down on processed sugar and maida. Beyond the usual no-no's like raw meat and fish, I also limited caffeine and anything with artificial sweeteners. Best to discuss with your doctor what's right for your specific health.
After my C-section, the doc advised me to avoid anything gassy or too heavy for a few weeks, but generally during pregnancy, focus on fresh home-cooked meals. Raw seafood, undercooked eggs, and certain soft cheeses are a big no-no. It's better to be extra careful for your little one.
Hahah, in a joint family, everyone has a list! My saas ji was very particular about avoiding 'garam taseer' foods like sesame seeds, dates, and too much mango in summer. She also said no to outside golgappe and chaat, which was a real struggle sometimes! But generally, avoid uncooked or unpasteurized things.
During my pregnancy, I had thyroid issues, so I was very cautious with my diet. Apart from the universally avoided raw stuff and certain fish, I made sure to check with my doctor about specific foods that might interfere with my medication or thyroid levels. Always consult your gynac for a personalized list, especially if you have other health conditions.
Mere toh abhi bhi cravings chal rahe hain but I know I have to control. Basically, anything fun is not allowed, no? Haha! But seriously, no sushi, no unpasteurized dairy, no liver in large amounts, and high mercury fish like shark. And no alcohol, of course. My doc keeps reminding me about the basic food safety rules.
