Pregnancy brings in a lot of emotions. Everyone you meet has a piece of advice to give you regarding what you should do and what you should eat. This brings in even more confusion. This Indian diet plan for pregnancy will help you clear the air a bit. Here is a sample Indian diet plan for pregnancy which will give you an idea of what food items can be chosen for obtaining optimum nutrition for your baby and yourself.
A woman who starts her pregnancy with a nourished body has a lot of nutrient reserves to supplement the growing fetus. Hence the growth of the fetus is optimized without affecting the women’s health. A well-nourished mother can also lower the risk of post postpartum complications. And also aids in better lactation. Hence the items mentioned below should be consumed right from the time you want to start planning your baby.
Smart nutritional choices can help make sure that you and your baby start out with the nutrients that you both need. The key to good nutrition during pregnancy is a balance. Before we see the Indian diet plan for pregnancy let us first look at the foods that I have used in making this Indian diet plan for pregnancy and their nutritional importance during this phase.
Indian Diet Plan for Pregnancy; The Food List
Meat, Poultry, Fish, Eggs, and Nuts
These foods provide protein, iron, and zinc. There is an increased demand for protein during pregnancy particularly in the second half of pregnancy. The normal protein requirement of adult women is 1gm/kg body weight. During pregnancy, it is recommended to have an additional 15 gm/day. The additional protein is essential to meet growing tissue demands.
Milk, Yogurt and Cheese
This group is a major source of protein, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins. Dairy products are one of the best sources of calcium, and your body needs a lot of it during pregnancy. Eat low-fat dairy products if you are worried about too much weight gain in pregnancy. Cheese, milk, yogurt are excellent foods for pregnancy.
- Fruits
This group provides Important nutrition during pregnancy like vitamins A and C, potassium and fiber. Fruits such as oranges, grapefruit, melons, and berries are the best sources of Vitamin C. It’s easy to eat three or more servings of fruit a day: juice or fresh fruit for breakfast, fresh or dried fruit for a snack, a fruit salad with lunch and a cooked fruit dessert with dinner.
Vegetables
One should have raw, leafy vegetables like spinach (palak) and other vegetables like carrots (gajar), sweet potatoes (shakarkand), corn (Makka), peas (matar) and potatoes. These foods contain vitamins A and C, folate, and minerals such as iron and magnesium. They are also low in fat and contain fiber, which helps to alleviate constipation.
Bread, Cereals, Rice and Pastas
This group provides complex carbohydrates (starches), an important source of energy, in addition to vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Pregnant women need 6 to 11 servings daily from this group. Grain products are also a good source of protein, which is the building material of body tissue for you and your baby. Many grains are enriched with B-vitamins and iron.
Fats, Oils, and Sweets
Use sparingly, since these products contain calories, but few vitamins or minerals. Fats should not make up more than 30 percent of your daily calories. Try to select low-fat foods.
Iron-Rich Foods
many Indian women are anemic (from monthly blood loss, improper diet or previous pregnancies), you may want to fortify your iron levels even before becoming pregnant with such foods as meat, raisins and prunes or beans, soy products and spinach. Your body is better able to absorb iron when consumed with foods rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, potatoes, and broccoli.
Folic Acid
Pregnancy doubles a woman’s need for folate (folic acid or folacin). Research suggests that folic acid supplementation during the weeks leading up to and following conception may help prevent neural tube defects. Foods rich in folic acid include liver, deep green leafy vegetables.
Using the food groups and foodstuff mentioned above, I have compiled them in a one-day Indian diet plan for pregnancy. Let us now see this Indian diet plan for pregnancy. Read – How to Gain less weight during Pregnancy

Hi m 9 weeks pregnent m already over weight my weight is 96 dr said its not good for pregnancy . M very confuse . Can u pls give me proper diet plan so I can follow that. Waiting for ur reply . Thanks
you need to get a personalized diet plann . dont worry , it will be ok .
Hi Payal,
Wishing you good health. Just to tell you a quick scenario of my previous pregnancies…I gave to my first child a boy through C-section and he is 2 years now. My second child was a still birth and she was born on 2-March-2016. The reason for death was less weight of the baby. During these two pregnancies i gained lot of weight. At present i weigh 83 Kgs and am 5 ft 3″ tall and suffering from D-generation spondilythesis.
Again I am suspected to be 5 weeks pregnant as the last period i got was on 15th Nov’16 and my next scan is on 4th January to check if there is heartbeat. Can you suggest me a diet plan where i can control my weight and at the same time keep the babies weight maintained and healthy. I am desperate to give birth to my child with safety. Please help me. Thanks
Hi Madiha ,
i am sorry for the late response , i hope by now yo would have got the scan done . please let me know so t hat i can guide you accordingly
hello mam. mam my wife is 5 week pragnent. and she is 26 year old so mam can u suggest me perfect diet of her??
above given plan will help
Hi , I am 8 weeks pregnant now. Will the above diet suit for me as well.I weigh 67 kgs now.
yes it will .. you can let lose on the quantity though . you dont need to eat as much quantity as mentioned in the plan .
Thank you. Plz comment on fetus weight too.
Also my last scan shows early diastolic notch in left uterine artery. Is it serious? What can i do for this?
Hi Anuradha ,
The fetal weight will improve if you eat what i have suggested . basically the notch may be the reason of low fetal weight . because of the notch the blood supply to th fetus is less, and hence all the required nutritio may not be reaching the fetus . it is a common problem , and many women have this . if your doctor has not commented about the type of notch or the soze of notch , then it is normal to have less fetal weight , it will get better towards the end of 8th month and in 9th month.
it is a physical issue , you cnt do anything about it . just eat healthy nutritious food , so that whatever is reaching to the fetus will be sufficient for its growth,
Mam i am 29 weeks pregnant. I am working. Weight gain only 3 kgs since conception. Last doppler ultrasound at 28 weeks showed fetus weight 1330 gm. Is it ok? Is weight gain necessary? How can i ensure good diet with my work?
ya a little weight gain will be good . you can try to follow a healthy routine of diet like mentioned above in the article . apart from it , please eat soaked almonds early morning and late at night, have some anjeer as well.
hi payal

Hi Meet ,
dont worry so much , many women who have thyroid , have a healthy pregnancy and they all deliver healthy babies . your diet seems right . if you need to maintain a 45 mins gap in food and thyroid meds , you can wake up an hour early , pop th pills and go back to sleep . then wake up after an hour and eat 😛

Hi Kanwal ,
well eggs and milk are necessary as they will only help in proper growth of fetus .. so plz start back with milk . instead of having roti all the time , have phulka , and instead fof fried eggs in the morning , have boiled eggs or bhurji . avoid cashew , eat almonds instead. rest looks ok.
Sam,
Hello mam my wife is 7 week pregnant.She weighs 56kg and 5’4″ tall. I am quite worried about her diet. She is more of a fast foody rather than taking nutritious food
However I have made up a diet plan for her, please suggest if any thing specific I need to add to it.
8.30AM : 6 Almonds with 1 glass of coconut water.
11.30AM : Sabudama kichdi, khana/poha
1PM : Fruits including Apple, pomegranate,organge juice,pear.
2.30PM: 3 chapati, 1 bowl sabji(palak)
4.30PM : Fruits
6.30 : 1 cup tea
9PM : dinner, Fried rice, pasta
11.30: 1 glass of milk.
Mam is it sufficient both qualitatively and qualitatively.
Hi Sam ,
you are such a sweet husband … getting back to diet , fried rice and pasta every night ? plz change to a proper roti sabji .. or use whole wheat pasta with lots o veggies . rest looks ok . make her eat lots of fruits and veggies , that will cover up all the essential nutrients .
Hello Mam,
I have severe itching all over the body. I was wondering if neem oil helps in relieving the itching. Also suggest me more remedies please. No medicines only creams or home remedies please. Thank you
do you know the reason behind itching ? it will be wrong if i randomly give you some remedies , skin itch all over the body can be suggestive of some skin disease . it can also be because of dryness. if dryness is the reason then mix glycerine and rose water an apply all over the body every night before sleeping , the skin will become soft and moisturized
Hi payal,
Am 31 years old. Second baby pregnant. Its 9th week for me now. Am 90plus kg weight and 5.2height. Am worried now about my baby and my health because of obesity. Tell me proper diet where i can reduce my tummy and which should not impact my baby… If diet chart not there do and donts in eatables… Please let me know…
Hi Danishta ,
thinking about weight loss while pregnant is a big mistake . but ypou can still take care to not put on excess weight by eating only healthy food and eat in a quantity that fills you up but doesnt stuff you till throat . eat less and more number of times. walk for 20 mins 1 or 2 times a day .
Hi Payal,
I am about 6 weeks pregnant now. Is taking coffee or tea, say one cup of each daily a bad idea? Both with milk. I take coffee in the morning and tea in the evening.
yes tea and cofee both have tannins and caffeine which interupt with nutrient absorption . try to get rid of the habot . if you cant , start having light coffee and reduce the quantity of tea . try to take other drinks at those times , like milk with flavours , this will help you over come your cravings

I have one question to be ask, we just did a ANC profile test and found that her RBC’s count and Haemoglobin level is below the normal range, Can you please suggest me what needs to be added in her diet (in detail) to improve and cover the deficiency?
Thanking you.
Hi Mandar ,
thank you . Dont worry , just add a beetroot , chopped apple and pomogranate salad to her diet routine , 2 times a day .. (mix all 3 fruits together ). this alone will be helpful in getting her levels back . and apart from this , im sure she must be taking her calcium and iron tabs .. so that will be taken care of .
Is cashew not bad for pregnancy? I’ll be 13 weeks tomorrow ?
nope .. no food is really bad if you have it in limitation .. excess of the healthiest of foods wil also cause some or the other health issue .. so eat every thing in moderation .

10pm rice, dal, sabji

why do you take black tea ? actually caffeine is not good for the growing fetus . you need to add some more protein for proper growth of the baby .. please refer the diet plan mentioned above , try to eat the food items that are mentione
Hi mam this is swetha I m in my 4th month of pregnancy but still I m having only breakfast lunch and dinner because in between I m not feeling hungry and I dont like fruits milk and all but I was tryjng hard to eat fruits nd drink milk is it common like that in 4th month or cravings will start from 5th month so pls suggest me any tips mam thank you. .
Hi Swetha ,
dont worry dear .. a lot of women do not get any cravings at all during the entire pregnancy and its absolutely normal . eat when you feel hungry and eat what you are comfortable with . as long as your scans tell that the baby’s growth is good , you o not really need to increase the quantity of food. there is nothing like eating for 2 . its only about eating good and healthy foods to be able to provide all the needed nutrients for the growth of baby

if you are not overweight , and your baby is in normal weight you can have ghee . there is a myth that eating ghee helps in smooth normal delivery as if the ghee will make the tract more slippery .. but there is nothing of that sort . the only scientific relevance is that ghee carries Vit D which helps in stronger pelvic and other bones. so support the lady in the long run .

Hi Mitul ,
i can understand your anxiety . But the doc is right . the dosage of her medicines will have to increase as her weight increases. this should not really affect the baby . sont worry so much .. just think positive and give positive vibes o your wife .. you guys will definitely have a very healthy baby . so smile and worry less.
