When I say to people I am pregnant, the immediate advise would be to eat health and take a lot of rest. Eating has become extremely important in the past few months. Thankfully, I am not nauseous of any food. My craving is salt, I guess, I want to eat everything with an extra pinch of salt. Unfortunately, eating a lot of salt is not health and increases the blood pressure, so I am trying to overcome my craving.
In the past few months, I am hungry all the time. My baby would love food I guess. Touch wood!!! I have to keep my mouth busy all the time. With so many advises from many people, I am making all efforts to eat health food. My diet Plan:
Pre-breakfast: All-bran + muesli flakes with milk, a fruit
Breakfast: Idli/poha/upma, coconut
Post-Breakfast: fruits/juice, almonds, dates and dry fruits, Ragi malt
Lunch: Rice, sambhar, curry, vegetable, spinach, tender coconut
Post Lunch: Fruit and juice
Evening: Milk, fruits, multi-grain biscuits
Dinner: Roti, curry, fruit
Post-dinner: Milk with saffron
Hah, my stomach is able to hold so much. Great!!!.. Hopefully, I am taking in all the sufficient nutrients for the baby. If anyone has suggestions, please comment. I am open to any advise. It's my first time and like everyone else I want to have any healthy baby.
Hi Pavithra .. Congrats !!!
ReplyDeleteI just delivered a baby girl so I know exactly what you are going thru ... just remember .. eating alone won't help .. cause need to watch your weight too or else both you and baby will be at risk .... Eat well and remember to walk 15 mins after the 3 meals so that you don't put on too much of weight ... All the best.. Let me know if you have other questions ...
