What to eat and what not to eat in first trimester?

Hi dear..congratulations on your pregnancy.. Which week are you in now?

Anyway am also very new to this (as this is my first preg). But i was gathering information on these things.

Its better not to eat heat inducing things egapaya, pineapple,spicy food. Apart from that you can have anything else i think. Drink milk twice a day.

That is all i can advice you from the little knowledge i have. Take care and enjoy your preg!

 

I came to know that sea fish contains lot of mercury and it is not good for preg woman. I dont eat sea food so i didnt pursue the matter much. But do check once before you eat. I have read that sea food is not advisable. But Sardines are very beneficial. If you can get them, eat them.

 

No doubt u can take fish regularly.. Especially Salmon fish is meant to boost ur child's intelligence.. So try to intake Salmon fish wen possible..

 

Yep.. As swathi mentioned avoid prawns and big fishes..it contains mercury, not good for carrying woman n baby too. I m also avoiding such fishes,but salmon is an exception. Apart from it sardines are good. Do avoid sesame seeds also( its' varieties including sesame oil, tahini, hummus ) also some friends suggested to avoid dates too coz of its heat. Use garlic in moderation. Others also pls let us know. I am 6 weeks

 

Forgot to mention. Big congrats to both of you swathi n raisin

 

Congrats to u too purple dreams!! .. All three of us are in the same boat now. Its great to have some one to discuss all the silliest of doubts am getting

 

Many Congratulations to all the three of you...

I had terrible morning sickness and couldn't eat much in the first trimester. My diet consisted of 2 bread slices, a couple of sliced carrots and cucumber. And a small glass of milk (which i used to consume, only to help me throw up, so I could keep the bread safe in my tummy)

I could never eat anything else, no matter how much I tried, until the end of the first trimester. But its safe to avoid food that causes heat like papaya and pineapple, sesame seeds.

But its always better to check with your doctors, just to be doubly sure.

Wishing you all a happy and safe pregnancy. Stay happy and peaceful and pass on the vibes to the baby as well..

Hugs and take care,
