I need assistance about food eaten during preg whether it´ s sufficient enough.



I´ m 18 Weeks now !

First of all according to the sonogram, it says 18 weeks but my calculations from the day of first day of last mentrusal is 20 weeks. I´ m too confused. Is it my uterus or placenta is not growing well due to my eating habits.

I´ m still vomiting and having nausea. IN the morning I wake up with acidity vomit. I don´ t know what to do. Spoke to gyna she just say eat frequent meals. About meals I´ m too confused.

I need to clarify whether am I eating enough.

Woke up at 9am :

1.Take Half cup of Tea & few glucose or digestive biscuits or Milk Toast

or have no mood to have milk as vomit when I drink milk

I take a Cheese Sandwich (Whole wheat bread) and few sips of water

10:30am if hungry I try to take some fresh juice (Apple, orange, carrot & beet or depends) OR eat one small apple.

12:15pm I take some sandwich or some indian breakfast like Upma, Loli, Paraata, Pova, Hotdogs, soy bean ham or really depends

in between if hungry have soya crakers one pc or some nuts

2:30pm Lunch

Chapati with some bhaji or chicken masala OR rice with fish that really depends

5pm I want to drink a small pkt of choco milk but it doesn´ t do inside otherwise I try to take some fruits or carrots

7pm I get very hungry I need some Maggie Noodles with some Choi (vege spinach inside)

9pm have dinner

?????

after that i´ m not hungry if i take i will take few bites of ice-cream otherwise not. directly at around 5am I try to take some biscuits

from this diet I feel I´ m not having much as I´ m not liking anything very well. I need more suggestions what to eat in between or lunch/dinner or snack time. too confused.

sss replied. first of all congrats!! wish you a healthy pregnancy.
i am not an expert but i would like to suggest a few changes in your timings.
try to wake up near 7 am and to avoid vomitting have a few biscuits with tea.
try to have breakfast around 9.try to make it nutritious.traditional ones like upma,idli,dosa,bread,paratta,and some fruits must be ok.
you can take fresh juice a little later around 11-11.30
lunch should be b/w 1-2.again it should be either rice or roti with lots of veggies and curd.or for change you can have fish or chicken etc instead or along with veggies.
at 4 pm u can have fresh fruits and by 6 you can have a glass of milk.
dinner should be by 8.having dinner early helps in sleeping comfortably.dinner again should be healthy.
dont worry too much about diet.try to eat healthy foods and drink one or two glasses of milk in a day.if you include right amounts of fruits,vegs,carbohydrates,milk,and dals(for protein),you must be okay.all the best for your pregnancy and normal delivery.
