Food Menu During Pregnancy

If i am given less chilly food , i feel like very less hungry ...

I am fond of eating spicy food always , especially my canteen rasam is little chilly so i have rice with a cup of rasam daily for taste... Also i am fond of certain greens like drum stick leaves and manathangali greens now ... they also give us iron strength ...

But , i am alos restricitng the spicy food to take just one time per week ..

We can have sprouts , tea cake , salt buscuits or marry lite buiscuits and tea (with ginger and some chukku) in evening times .. i love to have them ...

Take care .. happy pregnancy !!

 

Hi
i am 10 weeks pregnant. Actually till 8 weeks I didn't take any prenatal vitamins becoz only at 8 weeks I went to first check up. After doctor prescribed, I am taking tablets. Actually what's my thinking(worrying) before pregnancy and during 3-4 weeks pregnancy folic acid is much important. Every pregnant women need to take at least 400mcg of folic acid during early pregnancy. Otherwise it leads to birth defects. But I don't know whether I had that much folic acid amount in my daily food during those days. I only had rice everyday, weekly twice spinach, toor dal etc, then sometimes egg, everyday tea, then dosa,idly,chappathi and side dish for that. That's it. Not even I took much vegetables those days. Is that food habit affects my folic acid requirements during my early pregnancy? Is that leads to any birth defects? Plz help by giving suggestions.

And one more thing i went outside in my 9 week pregnancy on oct 18 exactly the lunar eclipse time. I was directly exposed under sky during the whole lunar eclipse time (May be 30 mins)

So I coincide both things and worrying very much nowadays whether any risk to my baby. Next month at 12 weeks I'm going to have nuchal transluceny ultrasound . Is that ultrasound completely detects any defects or is any chances of defects missing I ultrasound? Plz give suggestions. Anyone have experience like mine?


i only pray to god to have a healthy baby.

It has got a whole list of foods and beverages that are good during this time for us mommies. I, for one, most definitely liked this detailed article. It will help me chalk out my diet plan better.

Also if you have gestational diabetes or high blood pressure - it tells you what to eat then.

 

I m 5weeks pregnant and my in laws are saying to only hv milk nd rice. If I say dal,they say it's heat..like that they are asking me to avoid almost everything . I hv been eating rice nd milk diet now for 2 weeks. Cannot do it anymore ,please advice me what vegetables can I eat. Right now my husband bought these veggies tindora,bitter guard, fenugreek leaves,drumsticks,-- can I eat them?

 

Please eat good food and vegetables . Never heard of only milk and rice. Make sure you take prenatal vitamins.

 

You need a healthy diet full of fruits, vegetables and proteins. Also take prenatal vitamins with folic acid. Ask your doctor to provide you with some food guidelines. Just milk and rice does not sound nutritious enough.
