Daily Menu Updates for Pregnant Women

I keep an apple, 2-3 digestive\ Marie biscuits, small pack of multi grain biscuits close to bed. I have it if I have hunger pangs at odd hrs.

Chitra, in our side we don't encourage peanut chikki as it causes heat.

Angel, even I m overweight quite a bit... So even I was tensed.. In fact I started another thread on that topic

 

Even i didn't like eating apple and biscuits during the hunger time..b'cas its sweet.. but i didnt have much choice.. so i used keep some banana (Hill banana/ malai valai/ then valai)to get instant relief..(b'cas of carbohydrate content in banana... immediate relief will be there.. but hated sweet taste..)

Its a news to me that Peanut chikki creating heat.. b'cas in tamilnadu.. they say that Vellam(Jaggary) is considered as cold.. (elders used to prefer vellam instead of white sugar for all coffee/tea )

And ofcourse this chikki should be ate in limited manner..(1 piece).. Groundnut may create Bile (Pitham in tamil.) which will lead to vomitting.

 

ahh here..I had been asked in school days to have Jaggery as home remedy (like sugarcane, papaya) to prepone periods...:confused2:

About my diet chart

She said don't put too much weight it will be difficult to reduce n this is my first pregnancy so I won't like to look like aunty after the baby!
Honestly speaking I was bit depressed after hearing that but now talking with other friends n my IL friends I feel its OK, I I'll eat healthy food buteont worry much about weight gain as I have lot of time to think about it later;D
But now I have reduced all Prantha n butter n ghee n sweets
