Im in my 2nd trimester and so confused about what to eat daily. Everyone at ghar pe is telling me different things, koi kuch bolta hai koi kuch. Wanted to know what u all actually ate that helped, pls share.
Honestly, best food is jo aapko digest ho jaaye and gives you energy! Har pregnancy alag hoti hai na. Kuch bhi khaane ka mann kare jo healthy ho, toh bilkul khao. Just listen to your body and don't feel guilty about cravings, but try to balance them out with proper nutrients. Your baby will get what it needs.
Yaar, morning sickness mein toh jo muh mein jaa sake woh best hota hai! Jokes aside, I had it really bad, so I focused on bland things like idli, poha, khichdi. Once that passed, I made sure to have lots of protein - paneer, eggs, sprouts. Definitely ask your doc about supplements too, if you're not eating enough.
During my first pregnancy, I felt that simple home-cooked food was the best. Daal-chawal, roti-sabzi, lots of fruits like apples and pomegranates. I also tried to include dry fruits every day. My gynac just kept saying 'eat fresh and homemade' and I stuck to that mostly. It really helped with my energy levels, I felt.
See, generally, home-cooked, fresh food is always the best. Lots of greens, fruits, daal for protein. Try to avoid outside junk as much as possible, usmein kya-kya hota hai pata nahi na. But if you have any special condition or feel very low, please consult your gynac for personalized diet advice. They can guide you better.
For twins, the best food is... ANY food! 😂 Seriously, you need double the energy, so just focus on eating enough. My doc said to eat healthy, balanced meals, but also don't stress too much if you have a chocolate craving. I just kept munching on nuts and fruits when I could, aur baaki jo mere saamne aata tha. Haha.
