Everyone keeps telling me protein protein, eat more protein. Im veg so honestly thoda struggling to understand why its such a big deal and how much I need. Can someone explain simply?
Protein is basically what keeps your muscles from turning into jelly when you're carrying that heavy belly, and trust me, you'll need all that strength for the sleepless nights later! Eat your paneer now, because once the baby is here, you'll be eating cold toast standing up!
After going through a heartbreaking loss before this, I became extremely conscious of baby's cell development and growth. My doctor explained how protein supports the placenta and uterine tissues, so I made sure to include cooked dals and sprouts in every single meal very carefully.
Oh my dear, protein is literally the building block that helps your sweet little baby grow their tiny fingers, toes, and beautiful heart. I totally understand how hard it is to eat when you have nausea, but even small portions of dal or paneer will do wonders for your little miracle.
With twins, my doctor was practically chanting 'protein, protein' at every scan because I was building two babies at once! If you don't want your body to feel completely drained out, load up on sprouts and milk double-quick.
I read that protein is super important for baby's brain development, but honestly, the smell of cooked eggs makes me so sick. How are you all getting your daily protein intake? Any easy vegetarian ideas?
Looking back at my pregnancy days, focus on protein really helped my energy levels and baby's birth weight. My toddler is so active now, and I'm glad I built up my strength back then with good nutrition!
