A. Since you are 37 years old and entering your 7th month of pregnancy, your diet should be rich in protein, calcium, iron, fiber, and healthy fats to support your baby's growth and your energy levels. Below is a well-balanced pregnancy diet plan for the third trimester: 🔹 Morning (6:30 - 7:30 AM) – Start the Day Right ✅ Soaked almonds (5-6) + walnuts (2) for brain health ✅ A glass of warm water with lemon or ajwain water (helps with digestion) ✅ 1 glass of milk with a pinch of turmeric (strengthens immunity) 🔹 Breakfast (8:00 - 9:00 AM) – High Protein & Fiber 🥑 Option 1: Paneer or moong dal cheela + curd 🥣 Option 2: Ragi dosa with coconut chutney 🍞 Option 3: Whole wheat toast + peanut butter + boiled egg 🍲 Option 4: Oats porridge with dates & nuts ✅ Iron-rich fruit like pomegranate, apple, or orange juice (without sugar) 🔹 Mid-Morning Snack (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM) – Light & Nutritious 🥜 Handful of nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews) + a glass of buttermilk / coconut water 🍌 Banana / Avocado / Chiku (Sapota) – Good for baby’s weight gain 🔹 Lunch (1:00 - 2:00 PM) – Balanced & Filling 🥗 Option 1: 1 bowl dal + 1 chapati + sabzi + curd + salad 🍚 Option 2: Brown rice with dal & ghee + paneer bhurji + vegetable stir-fry 🍛 Option 3: Khichdi (dal + rice + veggies) with ghee & curd 🐟 Option 4: Grilled fish / chicken + roti + spinach sabzi (for non-veg eaters) ✅ Include iron-rich foods (palak, methi, beetroot, pomegranate) ✅ Drink a glass of saunf water or jeera water (helps digestion) 🔹 Evening Snack (4:30 - 5:30 PM) – Light & Healthy ☕ Option 1: Milk with ragi or dry fruit powder 🍲 Option 2: Roasted makhana / chana + coconut water 🍞 Option 3: Sprouts chaat with lemon juice ✅ Avoid tea/coffee (if drinking, keep it limited to 1 cup a day) 🔹 Dinner (7:30 - 8:30 PM) – Light & Easy to Digest 🍲 Option 1: Vegetable soup + 1 multigrain chapati 🍛 Option 2: Dal khichdi with ghee + curd 🥗 Option 3: Besan chilla with mint chutney 🐟 Option 4: Grilled fish / egg bhurji + roti ✅ Eat at least 2 hours before sleeping to avoid acidity. 🔹 Night (10:00 - 10:30 PM) – Before Bed 🥛 A glass of warm milk with a pinch of turmeric or elaichi (helps with better sleep) 🔹 Important Pregnancy Diet Tips 🚫 Avoid too much sugar, salt, processed foods, fried items, and excess caffeine 🚫 Limit spicy foods to prevent heartburn 🚫 Drink 3-4 liters of water daily to stay hydrated ✔ Include ghee in moderation for strength & baby’s growth ✔ Ensure enough iron & calcium intake (doctor may suggest supplements) ✔ Take small, frequent meals to avoid bloating This diet plan will keep you energized, help with baby’s development, and prevent common pregnancy issues like acidity, swelling, and constipation. Let me know if you need any customization based on your preferences! Stay healthy and enjoy your pregnancy journey.
