Hallow Mumma, I do appreciate your concern about the diet during pregnancy. Please include plenty of proteins in the form of bean sprouts, legumes, pulses, eggs, etc., equal amount of carbohydrates in the form of rice, chapatti, idli, jaggary, etc. in your daily diet. Thalipeeth is a very good recipe for Pregnant women. The consumption of fats should not be very high. Consume fats in the form of Cow s ghee or butter. In addition have plenty of vitamins through fresh fruits, green leafy vegetables, etc. They will take care of the constipation during pregnancy also. Total number of calories required per day by an Indian pregnant woman are 2500 KC. Proteins and Carbohydrates give 4 calories per gm while the fats give 9 calories per gm. Accordingly you can calculate the daily diet intake. Iron and Calcium are the needs of pregnancy. Jaggery, green leafy vegetables (coriander in particular) and chillies are good sources of iron. For supplementation of Calcium, take at least 500 ml of full cream milk in two divided servings. Still they do not supply the required ntrients and hence supplementation with iron, calcium and folic acid tablets is necessary. I hope this guides you sufficiently to plan your diet.
