Q. Would you kindly suggest diet for a pregnant woman?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• A pregnant woman needs a good balanced diet. Before going to that, I will suggest you one thing.

• As your wife is hypothyroid, the need for thyroid hormones increases by 50% in pregnancy. You need to increase the dose to 75 mcg. Go for a thyroid profile and adjust dose accordingly with the help of your doctor.

• Regarding diet plan, have a glass of milk 300 mL twice a day. It gives the calcium needed for pregnancy. In the first trimester, they face the problem of nausea and vomiting. So, ask to take plenty fluids and more of vegetables and fruits.

• Avoid oily foods in breakfast. In the afternoon, should take at least four cups of rice with dal and vegetables. In the night, three cups of rice or three rotis.

• Take non-vegetarian that is, chicken or fish twice a week. You can also have mutton once in 15 days. Eggs to be taken daily or at least once in two days.
