Congratulations on your pregnancy, mummy!
This is a beautiful and exciting time, but it can also be a time of many questions, especially when it comes to what to eat.
Eating a balanced and nutritious diet is crucial for both you and your developing baby.
This recipe guide, created by Chef Mohd Faizal bin Nasir Mohamad from Café Columbia, Columbia Asia Hospital – Taiping, features delicious and easy-to-prepare meals packed with essential nutrients.
All the recipes have been reviewed by Columbia Asia Hospital – Taiping Dietician, Rafidah Abdul Rashid, to ensure they provide the vitamins and minerals you need during pregnancy.
The following recipes offer a variety of options throughout the day, from satisfying snacks to wholesome main courses.
With these recipes in your repertoire, you can enjoy healthy and flavourful meals without spending hours in the kitchen.
Let’s dive into the recipes and explore how each one can nourish you and your baby!
“Rich with calcium and protein, yoghurt helps build mother and baby’s tissues. It contains probiotics beneficial for gut health. Dried fruits are generally high in fibre, vitamins and minerals but go easy as they are also high in calories and natural sugar. Nuts and seeds make this a suitable protein- and fibre-filled snack.”
– Columbia Asia Hospital – Taiping Dietician, Rafidah Abdul Rashid
“Morning sickness may occur any time. Hot and smelly foods can induce the feeling of sickness. Try starchy foods like bread which has minimum smell. Rye bread is high in fibre which may help in relieving constipation. Banana is a good source of potassium which help to replace the potassium lost through vomiting.”
– Columbia Asia Hospital – Taiping Dietician, Rafidah Abdul Rashid
“While seafood during pregnancy risks contaminants like mercury, cooked salmon is safe to eat. It’s rich in Omega-3, essential for brain and eye development. Spinach is packed with vitamins particularly folate, iron and calcium. Folate is important to prevent defects in brain, spine, spinal cord, also cleft lip and palate, hence, don’t overcook the greens!”

As we conclude this culinary journey with Chef Mohd Faizal bin Nasir Mohamad’s specially crafted recipes for pregnant mums, it’s clear that nourishment goes beyond the plate.
It’s about nurturing life, embracing change, and making health-conscious choices that benefit both mum and baby.
These recipes are more than just meals; they are a testament to the love and care that goes into pregnancy nutrition.
We hope these nourishing dishes bring joy, comfort, and health to expecting mothers, empowering them to enjoy this special time with confidence in their nutritional choices.
Remember, every bite counts towards building a foundation of health and wellbeing for both you and your baby.
Here’s to a happy, healthy pregnancy journey, filled with flavours that nourish and delight!
