I want to make sure I'm eating really healthy for my baby. Can you suggest which vegetables are particularly good and beneficial for me to include in my diet during pregnancy?
I'm in my fourth month and trying to eat more veggies, but some of them make me feel so bloated. Are green leafy vegetables like spinach safe to eat daily, or do they cause gas? Would love to know what worked for you guys.
Green leafy vegetables like palak aur methi are very good, ho na. My mom used to make lauki and tinda for me because they are easy on the stomach. Just eat whatever home-cooked food you can digest easily.
I'm in my second trimester and forcing myself to eat bottle gourd (lauki) and spinach because they are healthy, but honestly, I hate the taste right now. Does anyone else feel like throwing up when they see green veggies, or is it just me?
Load up on broccoli, spinach, sweet potatoes, and carrots. They are packed with folate and iron. Just make sure you wash them extremely well to avoid any bacterial infections, and cook them properly.
During my pregnancy and even post my C-section, my doctor emphasized on eating fiber-rich veggies like beans, carrots, and bottle gourd. They keep your digestion smooth, which is extremely important to avoid straining later. Cook them softly with mild spices.
