I eat non-vegetarian food and want to make sure I'm getting enough nutrients for my baby. Which non-veg options are considered good and safe to eat during pregnancy? I want to include healthy choices in my diet.
I don't want to give any medical advice, but personally, I stuck to thoroughly cooked eggs and home-made chicken curry. I avoided sea fish entirely during those nine months just to be on the safer side.
According to my pregnancy tracker app, well-cooked chicken and lean meats are great sources of protein and iron. Just make sure to avoid raw or undercooked meats and high-mercury fish like swordfish completely.
I had stomach infections early in my pregnancy, so my doctor was very strict about my diet. She allowed me to have home-cooked chicken soup and hard-boiled eggs, but please ask your doctor what is safe for your body.
When I was pregnant, I loved having simple home-cooked fish curry and chicken breast for my protein intake. Now my toddler is a huge foodie too! Just keep the spices low to avoid acidity.
I was so terrified of food poisoning that I barely ate any outside non-veg during my pregnancy! If you're eating chicken or fish, please ensure it's cooked extremely well at home and buy it from a very hygienic place.
