Dear lybrate user, first keep in mind what to avoid... Avoid oily, spicy, salty, preserved, leftover food. Avoid too much of sour and too much sweet food also. Avoid bakery products, junk food, aerated drinks. Food during pregnancy should be fresh, homemade and warm while eating. It should be mild but tasty.

There are no special diets or rules as such. Infact one needs to be careful to have fresh and highly nutritious (balanced diet) which is easily digestible. This is important because the growing baby needs all the nutrients for the proper development. Avoid all junk food, sodas, and artificially flavoured food. Do mild exercise like walking which will help easy digestion. One can also take supplements which is prescribed by the doctor.(they are also supplied freely by all government hospitals). Proper regular follow up is important for monitoring the growth of the baby and also for ensuring safe and easy delivery of the baby.
