Answer

You can go but tell them No MSG in my food ani.

As a matter of fact, I used to crave for Malaysian food during my rpegnancy and I went there almost 2 times a week. And naaku till the last day teleedu that they add MSG too. So repu delivery antey ivaala vellamu and enduko maa hubby adigaru "Do you add MSG? ani and the waiter said Yes. I was shocked ki baby elaa pudtado ani. But luckily nothing happened.

Recent ga Food Network lo food detectives aney program choosanu. Dantlo cheppadu that MSG is not harmful. It is a form of salt, so you will get dehydrated. You have to drink good amount of water. Thats it. So don't worry. You are good to go

Answer

Sahitya..
Same as Lavanya..
I went to all kinda restaurans but food order teesukuneppudu no MSG anta..Preggies kada..chaala careful ga vuntaru le vaalu kuda

Diet Plan:

Here is my typical diet these days..
I am a vegetarian but I eat egg.. any idea if this is good enough? Please suggest

breakfast
1cup cereal /bagel + juice

Snack
Cookie

lunch
2-3 rotis /rice
fruit

evening at home
sprouts - try to eat healthy doesn't work every day

night
1 boiled egg (not very regular but almost 3-4 times in a week)
rice/roti + fruit/milk (one of these)

Answer

Kalyani..
Nee diet plan baagundhi
I guess you are taking veggies along with ur rice/roti
Make sure you take yogurt atleast once a day. The bacteria in the yogurt helps in preventing UTI (which is common among preggies). Also milk atleast twice ayina taggataniki try chey. Otherwise ur diet sounds healthy.
Snacks ki low fat cottage cheese, nuts especially walnuts and almonds try cheyachu. Avoid cashews if you want to watch ur diet..otherwise walnuts are rich in omega 3 and almonds are very good for the heart

Answer

Nee diet plan baagundi kalyani...

Fruit lunch tho paatu thinadam kante oka 40min-1hr lunch ayyaaka gap ichi thinte manchidi

Visa cheppinattu milk, yogurt, nuts add chesthe inkaa baaguntundi

Response

Yep.. I take soaked/dry almonds.. had candied walnuts earlier in the pregnancy.
Will try to increase the intake on milk and yogurt (which I hate )

Answer

Kalyani..if you hate yogurt try it take it in cheese or low fat cottage cheese form...
Else pillaliki yogo or yogurt melts ani evo vuntaadi..try them too

Diet Plan:

2000-calorie diet plan idi..

every 1.5 to 2 hours gap lekunda edokati tintaane undaali..

morning levaganey on the bed or pallu tomaganey ;) .. 4 biscuits or a banana.
Breakfast -- 3 idlis with sambar/2 dosas with sambar/1 boiled egg with 2 slices of whole wheat bread/1 bowl poha/1 bowl upma.

1 hour gap -- Milk with 8 to 10 soaked almonds (de skinned)

1.2/1 hour gap -- 1 fruit (restrict papaya, pineapple) or a glass of fresh squeezed juice.

Lunch -- 1 bowl salad
1 bowl rice/2 chapatis with 1/2 bowl rice
1 katori dal/sambar/2 pcs of chicken
2 katori veg
1 katori curd

mid meal snack.. bowllo nuts vesukuni all types, non-roasted badam/pista/walnut/dates/kismis etc.. 5 of each.. or anything you like to eat carrot pieces..

1 hour later -- fruit..

Dinner -- same as lunch...

Bedtime -- 1 glass milk..

Egg Yellow:

as per my doc, it depends on the protein intake you already have in the day.. high-protien food like sprouts avi tintoo undi, protein supplements teesukunetatlu aite kanaka take 2 egg whites only.. if not you can consume whole egg and yellow.

I am prescribed Mama Protinex (Indian Brand) here, so relatively less activities untay kabatti yellow restriction.

Question

Girls.... a silly question. How often do all preggies eat eggs? I got different opinions from different people. Some say eggs are good while some tell to avoid it. I know yolk is not good but how about egg whites??

I'm not able to eat any dal so thinking of taking eggs to compensate for the protein. I don't like non-veg too.

Any other protein food suggestions?

Answer

I eat whole egg.ORganic though.I'm scared abt growth hormones. Alternative ante, mix protein powder in milk or any of ur fav juice

Answer

nenu last week protein powder kosam walgreens vellanu...there the pharmacist is an indian...aame cheppindi..ee time lo protein mix lantivi em tagaddu..preservatives kaluputaru..not at all suggested ani..just wanted to share the info with you all.

so, nenu badam feast thechukuni kalupukuntunnanu...edo okati ani...next ee packet ayipoyaka nene intlo badam powder chesukundam anukuntunna..thinatam ante..elagu sariga thinam kada ani...adi kuda kind of protein substituate chestundi kada

Response

Thanks. I too eat organic or free range egg white but only once in a while. Don't know how often it can be eaten.

As Aruna said, one of the pharmacists here mentioned that they don't recommend any protein powders for pregnant women.

The protein powders I've seen in pharmacies are more suitable for athletes or body builders. I couldn't find any for pregnant women.

I usually eat almonds everyday ......trying to find other protein alternatives too.

My weight hasn't increased and I feel it's because of the way I've been eating... I can see my tummy growing but weight still is the same as it was before i got pregnant... I hope baby isn't getting malnourished. By the way, I'm 17 weeks pregnant now.

Sprouts are very good source of proteins try eating them daily if possible

Answer

Answer

You can eat egg..Make sure it is thoroughly boiled though. You cant eat mousses and stuff where egg doesnt get cooked. Basically... you cant eat them in raw form

Answer

I don't know which protein powder you are using but the one I brought is from vitamin world which should only be used by pregnant women. Naa doctor kuda aa okka vishyam mathrame mechukundi that i'm using protein powder ('coz nenu meat asalu thinadam ledhu), and she had me change rest of my diet.

so I don't think we should rule out the option of using protein powder. They are different kinds out there in the market, including organic and no preservative ones..just my though

Question:

A silly question

I'm 16 wks now and I feel hungry most of the time... I do eat short and frequent meals. I'm not eating a proper diet because I'm still not 100% out of nausea. But i do manage to get atleast part of the daily required nutrients....

Is it normal to feel so hungry ??? I read somewhere that we need only an extra 300-400 calories at this time. But the rate at which i feel hungry I feel I can go beyond it... Is it ok???? Am i worrying too much?

Answer:

Shilpa..alaa aakali veyyadam normal ye...naakoo baaga aakalesthundi..every 2hrs ki edo okati thinaali anipisthundi...but chinna chinna portions ye...konchem thinagaane chaalu anipisthundi...

Answer:

Even I have no interest in food. I'm eating just for the sake of it...... I eat fruits and raw veggies like cucumber, carrots. I just fry spinach/ bok choy and celery in very little oil (with/ without tadka). I prepare lemon rice/rice vermicelli and add thinly sliced veggies to it. The sour taste of lemon helps. I can't eat any masala items. I'm still trying to get ideas for eating more veggies which will suit my taste buds but still not successful.

I haven't yet started any non-veg item... one reason being I don't feel like eating and other reason being i get different inputs from different people regarding non-veg.

intervalls also include fiber in your diet, Sprouts nenaithy mrng ney thiney dhaanini naaku appudu maa doc alaaney chepindhi am not sure abt the reason

Answer

I had this problem with prenatals.. in fact I had blood in the stools suddenly.. chaala bhayam vesindi.. then I did this.. 1 day I took prenatal and second day I did not.. alternated this 4 days.. and I could see that the day I did not take prenatal.. next day everything was fine..

I told this to my gync and she gave me few samples of prescription prenatals.. I tried all of them and only one suited me..it had a different concept on how iron in the tablets digest. Iron is the main cause of constipation.

This is my experience.. may not work for u.. but you can ask ur doc to give some samples of prenatals and see if a change works for u

One more thing. I was advised to have prenatals in the night after dinner. Moreover do not have prenatals with milk. Have it with water. If you are drinking milk, give it 30 min time before or after. so that the digestion of milk and prenatals do not interfere

Yes, I did study a lot on importance of iron and calcium and have decided to take them as my doc recommended.. Naaku iron in prenatals tho modatlo problem ayyindi anduke I was hesitant. But, will try supplements and see how it goes

@Archana
Nenu first lo one-a-day vesuknna.. kani naaku avi saripoledu after 3 months in to pregnancy. Then my doc gave me few samples like Duet and others.. Finally naaku "GestiCare" ane brand suit ayyindi.. It has a different formula on how iron digests in the body

Answer

If your doc has suggested, go ahead and take them. 2 per day is definitely not over the limit. Also, dont take all at the same time.

morning milk or cereal tintaru kabatti take calcium in the morning.
afternoon prenatals and
night iron vesukondi as it will be easily absorbed.

Mana Indians lo chala mandi anemic untaru.. anduke docs emi check cheyakapoyina sometimes iron prescribe chestharu.

Answer

congrats dear. prenatals mathram thapukunda vadu. doc prescribe cheyakapoyina ok.over the counter konuko.read the details on back of the bottle for supplements. naku doc prescribe chesindi prenatals recent ga. avi vesukoka mundhu I was doing good kani, avi start chesina tharuvatha nunchi vomiting avuthundi. Heard that prenatals start chesaka, it takes a while for the body to adjust ata.so be prepared to that. over the counter prenatals are same as prescription ones also heard the over the counter aithe koncham 'safe on stomach' rather than prescribed ones. Even I'm planning to change

Answer

as everyone said vitamin supplements are very good and essential.. maybe the doc was under an impression you were already on it.. usually konni clinicslo they give you samples of prenatals and ask you to chose whatever suits your body composition, ledantey you can get them over the counter..

gummy vitamins untay but kids sectionlo untay and vaati usage kooda doctorni adigi dosage decide chesukovali.. prenatals endukatey andulo folic acid and zinc untay which are considered essential and great during the baby forming months..

Answer

naaku doc prescribe chesindi..... Citracal...... initially naaku padevi kaadu.... inka night ki move chesanu.....dinner chesaka konchem break chesukoni padukune mundu teesukunedaanni......

Answer

Initial ga nenu stuart vadanu and then moved to Naturemade. Both are good.
Ee throwing up first trimester varaku untundi. Inka okka 4 weeks opika pattuko and don't worry about not giving nutrients to baby. The baby needs only 500 Calories everyday and will get it frm your body fat too. So you both will be just fine.
