Vidhu replied. hey, good to see that most of u are able to manage to follow a healthy diet. Now after reading ur posts i got worried. I was 50kgs when i got pregnant. I tried my level best to take food properly and somehow increased to 50.5 kg after 3 weeks. When i checked my wt yday i am now at 49.5 kg. So am worried if am taking an healthy one. I get vomit sensation quiet often. Not able to even cook sometimes. Itz only me & my hubby staying here in bangalore. Hope my baby gets all the nutrition required for it. But i am hungry 24 hrs. Any of u having Nausea who can give me tips of how they manage to take food.
But anyways i wud take a printout of all ur diets and try to follow few from them atleast.
Wishing u all a safe & Healthy Pregnancy.

Meghnah replied. hello girls
Was I eating healthy?My mom needs to read this then..My mom felt that all pregnant women eat much more healthier foods.Actually it was my mom' s idea to post this question,so that reading other posts she cud get more ideas 2 make me eat more healthier foods.Right now my mom n Mother inlaws only intention is to make me eat more n more healthier food..They felt I eat very less,ther4 My mom came 2 my place 2 make me eat..YES EAT:-)
hmm after reading ur posts I can see that my mom is getting more n more ideas..So may be when I post this question again in the second trimester,my mom wud have included sum of ur eating habbits into mine..but I donno how much I' ll follow coz 4m second trimester,its just my hubby n myself..So may be I' ll not take care of me as much as my mom does now...anyways gals,ur small small tips I 2 can follow...n hope eating healthy continues..Yes I forgot to mention,I dont have nausea(touchwood),so ther4 my appetite or say my baby' s has already increased...anyways gals thanks for giving me ideas..

Rakhi replied. i also heard that eating sprouts daily is good.
Rakhi replied. ira, my diet is more or less like you! and i am really a bit worried now as to whether i am eating properly or not :(
my diet is like:
early morning around 8: tea and toast
around 10: a cup of milk (sometimes an apple too)
lunch around 12.30- 2/3 phulkas with sabji and dal
around 4- fruits like cantaloupe, apple or orange
around 6- 1 boiled egg + 1 bread
dinner around 9- 2 phulkas with sabji and dal
because of the nausea, i am not able to cook properly (i cant cook at all in the evening) and even if i cook something, i dont feel like eating. wish i had someone here to help :(( i am too waiting for the first trimester to end and hopefully i' ll have better appetite then and the nausea will be gone too.
megnah, i think your diet is really good. i will definitely try to copy and follow it.
thanks girls for this topic.
ira replied. wowowow!!!
after reading your posts.. i am starting to wonder if i am eating right!! i am nowhere near eating such balanced and timed meals!!!
also given the fact that for the last three months i have basically been losing appetite and not wanting to eat...
well..
i usually have a bowl of cornflakes, or oatmeal porridge for breakfast.. which can be anywhere between 8:30 and 9:30
then i usually have a banana at 11..
at 1 i have around 2 rotis and sabzi..
around 4 i eat some fruit.. grapes apple whatever..
at 5 i have a cup of tea...
around and around 7:30 to 8 we have dinner.. which is again roti sabzi.. sometimes with dal... and ocassionally rice..
well.. if i do feel hungry between all this i munch on fruit or a sandwich or milk or whatever i get my hands on!!
i guess i have to rethink and manage my meals better!!!!
anyway.. i am hoping once the first trimester is over.. i will have some appetite and i can start eating balanced meals..
anyway... i am about 2-3 kgs overweight to start with... so i don' t think i need to increase my diet just as yet...
but still....
i think meghnah has an ideal diet.....
i might just steal the diet plan from her...
i wish i had my mom here to cook all that for me.... i am plain lazy when it comes to cooking... i miss having servants here like in india :-(
ramya replied. Hi Meghnah,
After seeing your daily diet...I felt I should strictly follow your diet plan :-)
I think you are having a very balanced diet..
Well my diet is not so balanced...:-( Hope I change it soon..
Breakfast(around 7.30am) - I have 1 bowl milk+corn flakes or 1 apple
4 or 5 dates
(around 8am) - In the office I drink 250ml milk
From 9am-11.30am - I keep munching 1 bread (its a big bread...something like bun)...
Lunch(11.30am) - 1 bowl rice, sabji,
salad, some fruits (either banana or apple) and 1 cup curd
Snack (3PM) - 1 bottle juice (either orange or grape)
Dinner (6PM) - Rice, Sabji, Dal
(Around 9PM) - 1 fruit apple or orange or strawberries
I think I should make many changes in my diet....:-))
ok girls please share your daily diet...
bye bye

if u have that much nausia,try different kinds of fruits,i used to have vomit sensation for every one hr but never i vomitted anything.becos it is a feeling of hunger which is caused by increse in harmones. so nutralise that hunger with anything u like .take it in little quntity for every 1 hr .good idea to avoid nausia in morning is to take a glass of milk when u r going to sleep at night.this reduces a lot.prefer friuts than juices.they provide more energy.hope these help u .
have safe pregnency

hello vidhu,
During the first half month of my pregnancy,I was just 50 kgs.Now I´ m 54.I donno whether its because of my diet.It seems during our pregnancy we will put on weight.so that explains my 4 kg weight..
U start eating previous night soaked dry fruits.Its really gud.I know U´ ll like it..n reagarding nausea I cant say anything,coz I dont have it..But I read sumwhere eating lil salty chips n eating in small intervals(ie evry 1hr munching sumthing or the other) will reduce nausea to certain extent..
anyways all the best.eat healthy.Keep writing..

hello smily
Thanks a lot for responding for my post..Beleive me,you to have a healthy diet plan..U have included fruits,soup,milk..All this are very gud for our lil baby..Right now I eat sum 4,5 varities of fruits.I feel 24hrs are less for me to eat..Just joking:-)Yup,I know if u have nausea,we tend to eat less.As I dont have nausea,may be I have gud appetite n eat a lot.N regarding dry fruits,its heat I agree,but if u soak it previous night in water n have it next day,its very gud,n it aint heat..The same works for mango too.Since mango produces heat,just soak it in water previous night n eat it next day.All the heat is gone..Thisz what my mom says..I´ ve been following this 4m many days.blv me,it works..anyways all the best.keep writing.

hi meghnah,
i forgot to tell u that my doc has told me not to take sugar in my diet. my uncles have had diabetes and although my parents dont have it, she said i need to be careful. so no rice for me and no added sugar in anthing.
but since my sugar level was ok, i do take it sometimes (even doc said once ina while is ok). and thats the reason i take tea just once! cant drink sugarless tea :(
and one more thing, when u said eating oranges is good in afternoon, were u saying santra or mausambi?
take care

hello ramya,
Since ur working,I know its very tuff to cook n go to office.Ur really doing a great job.Let mne tell u,If I was working,then I dont think so atleast half of what u eat,I wud have had eaten.
Dates are very gud.they are a gud source of iron.Twice in a week I drink dates milk shake as I cannot eat dates just like that.My teeth is bad,it pains:-)so dates milk shake is better for me.
Do u drink plain milk ya flavoured?Try drinking mama horlicks ya protinex,Its really gud.n when it cumes to bread whole wheat bread is really better than white bread..So try including it..n u know what I have heard if u eat oranges in the afternoon ur baby´ s complexion will improove..Therfore I strictly eat it in the afternoon...Since we r in our first trimester,its not advisable for us to drink kesar milk,ther4 oranges in the afternoon is better option..
hey ramya do u have morning sickness? hey dont change ur diet,just add few more things to ur diet.thats it.. all the best.Keep writing..
