Pregnancy brings excitement, joy—and a hundred new questions about food. One day you're craving mangoes, the next someone tells you to avoid pineapple. Sound familiar?

Let’s cut through the noise and get real about what’s good for you, what’s not, and why it matters.

What to Eat (and Why Your Baby Will Thank You)

Fruits & Veggies

The more color on your plate, the better.
Bananas, oranges, spinach, carrots, beetroots—they all give you iron, vitamins, and fibre. Great for babies. Great for digestion too.

Protein-Rich Foods

Include eggs, dal, paneer, curd, and lean meats. Protein supports your baby’s brain and muscle development.

Calcium & Iron-Rich Choices

Ragi, dairy, dates, and dry fruits help strengthen bones and prevent anemia.

At Maternite, our diet plans are based on what real women eat every day—not some international chart you can’t follow. That’s one reason we’re known as a pregnancy hospital families trust.

What to Avoid (and Still Eat Well)

Raw or Undercooked Foods

This includes street food, sushi, and runny eggs. Your immune system is more sensitive now—so avoid the risk.

Unpasteurized Milk Products

Cheese made from raw milk can carry bacteria. Stick to pasteurized or boiled milk.

Too Much Caffeine or Sugary Drinks

One small cup of tea or coffee is okay. But excess caffeine can impact the baby’s weight and your sleep.

Papaya (especially raw)

Many doctors advise skipping it, as the latex it contains can affect the uterus. Better safe than sorry.

Real Talk on Cravings

Yes, cravings are real—and they’re not always healthy.
Want ice cream at 11 pm? Happens. Chips with ketchup? Been there.

The key is balance. Give in sometimes, but don’t skip real meals. Your body needs fuel, not just taste.

Don’t Guess. Ask.

Not all food advice online works for every mom. Your age, weight, trimester, and medical history change what’s right for you.

That’s why our top gynaecologist in Jaipur sits with every expecting mom, not just to give instructions—but to understand what works for her lifestyle.

Final Word

Pregnancy isn’t about eating more. It’s about eating right.
And with the right guidance, it’s not confusing—it’s comforting.

At Maternite Hospital, we don’t just treat patients. We walk with moms—meal by meal, week by week. That’s why families call us the best hospital for pregnancy in Jaipur.
