  hmm, just focus on lots of fruits, veggies, and whole grains, plus some protein like beans or lean meats, and don't forget those prenatal vitamins! 

                                                                                        

  Just looked it up on the 'Heal Baby Care App' and here’s what it says:      

                                                                                        

  "During the first trimester, focus on a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients. Key foods to include are:

  
  

  1. Fruits and Vegetables: These provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Aim for a variety of colors to maximize nutrient intake.

  2. Lean Proteins: Sources like chicken, fish, beans, and tofu support fetal growth and development.

  
  

  Additionally, ensure you're getting enough folic acid, iron, and calcium, which are crucial during this stage. Are there any specific dietary preferences or restrictions you have?"

  In my first trimester I learned pretty quickly that keeping it simple and gentle on the stomach is key. Foods like bananas, oatmeal, yogurt, boiled eggs, and whole grain crackers really helped with nausea. Staying hydrated and adding in leafy greens, beans, and lean proteins made a difference too. I also tried to sneak in folate-rich foods like spinach and lentils since they’re important early on. Everyone’s body is different, but bland + nutrient-dense was the winning combo for me.

  During the 1st trimester, I found it really helpful to focus on simple, nutrient-dense foods — lots of folate-rich veggies, lean proteins, whole grains, and staying hydrated. Ginger tea helped me a lot with nausea too. If you’re ever too tired to cook, meal delivery options can be a lifesaver — I once tried CookUnity, and you can contact CookUnity directly through their website for details on menus and delivery.
