I need Nigerian meals suited for pregnant moms please.
These foods loved by Nigerian pregnant women, most of them are weird combinations.
Pregnancy makes a lot of women increase the quantity of pepper in their foods. Spicy foods are generally loved by many Nigerian women during pregnancy.
Read the mail below and the answers…
Hello Eya, help with Nigerian meals suited for pregnant palate… Good evening. I’m an ardent reader of your blog and I think you are doing a great job, well done! I’m writing to you out of desperation. I know pregnant women are selective and very picky.
Some of us can’t eat well cooked food that’s tasty but enjoy foods that are peppery and almost tasteless. How to balance that with getting proper nutrition while pregnant is not easy. The foods suited for a pregnant palate may not really be nutritious but manageable.
Wish I know many Nigerian foods suited for pregnancy taste buds.
I just recently got
pregnant and though we are very happy and excited I’m having a hard time and struggling with nausea and food aversions.
Food that I usually enjoy now taste horrible in my mouth, I can’t keep anything down and I’m so worried that I might be harming my baby by not getting enough nutrients.
I have tried searching on Google for healthy and tasty meals for pregnancy, but all I come across are ‘oyibo foods’. So I decided to seek your help, please can you advise me on tasty Naija meals that are easy to prepare and well suited for a pregnant palate.
Any Nigerian meals suited for pregnant moms to eat.
Thank you in advance for your reply,looking forward to it. God bless you richly. M.O

Congratulations and welcome to the club.
To start with, no two pregnancies are the same (in Aunty Eya's voice for marriage). There's no easy way around it coz it ends in experiment, trying things till you pick what's best for your palate at the time(it might change in later trimester).
Get on fruits and fruits and more vegetables. Most of our foods are cooked and cooked dead and mostly you get best nutrients from fruits and vegetables.
I was born Igbo but one of my fav dishes was/is Eforiro. If I go by the normal process of squeezing steamed veggies and plenty oil with the frying,I'll miss out on my nutrients. So I skip the squeezing and use very little oil while making sure its fresh.
Oil bean(ugba) and local eggplant leaves(anara leaves) are such a rich combination and great for blood building. Wash/slice the leaves,mix with the ugba and add lil oil and a pinch of salt.
Beans is one food that goes for some pregnant ladies. I enjoyed moi moi in my first trimester even now. As for your beans,please always soak over night(or atleast 5hrs) before cooking coz of phytic acid. The soaking never makes it any softer and it keeps bowel movement from beans at length.
Truthfully most of our foods are just carb-ladened but you can always incorporate. Use steamed spinach(green)/onions to eat your rice. Instead of butter, use avocado pear to eat your bread. Buy hausa kernel(aki hausa in Igbo), soak for an hour, blend, juice it out and drink it in place of mineral. Egg is so good, I eat 2/day on days I can(damn the weight thing they talk about eggs jare).
Lastly for now, buy shear butter(ori) and coconut oil(I like making my own oil that way am sure of using fresh nut instead of copra-dried nuts),melt the butter in a low heat, mix with same quantity oil and use as a tummy/hip/thigh cream to avoid and eliminate stretch marks. Infact I discarded my cream as use this as body cream and I glow enough to make hubby convert to it. Choi!see my long tory, no vex o I like typing
Debie, courious about my wife's meal. She is @ 13 weeks now
Wat worked fr Mrs F might not work fr Mrs Z. Try find out wat u cn eat,urself…wen i was pregnant fr my 1st baby,it was moi moi everyday throughout my 1st trimester…now am pregnant,moi moi was a no no,it was indomie throughout my 1st trimester. Dnt worry,in ur 2nd trimester,u cn b able t eat evrytin… Congrats
I had Nausea in first trimester,just manage because Second trimester…you will be eating like a whale. Try eating groundnut to wade off the Nausea,look for walnut too. Eba and ogbono soup actually helped a lot,Rice and stew didn't work for me. Try yam porridge, ugba and Ukwa.
Congrats! Pele. What you'll have appetite for depends on you o. No two pregnancies are the same.
I suffered from nausea till 4th month and I could only eat hard Akamu with okro and pineapple. My obgyn said its ok to eat the things u can tolerate in d 1st trimester. Your baby doesn't need much right now. Even if its just cracker biscuit(they say it doesn't cause nausea,though didn't work for me),keep eating it. There will be @ least one food you can eat till around 4mths when the feeling will get better.
Hope you're taking your supplements o. Pregnacare with folic acid is good. Just make sure you don't miss taking folic acid everyday. Hope this helps.
God will see you through and you'll deliver safely,normally and with divine ease. Take care dear.
Drinking garrison helped my nausea, porridge without oil and with plenty of pepper in all my foods. Try bland tasteless foods.
Hi all,I'm the original poster. Thank you ladies you have been far too kind,sharing your experiencies and all.
I just can't wait to move onto the next trimester jare,one day I'm enjoying a particular meal,the next day it tastes like poison.
God bless all mothers out there,you are truly awesome indeed.
Hw did u get coconut oil?
Also in my first trimester,all foods taste like poison,I'm fed up…the only thing I eat now is pepper…I call it pepper cos no one else eats my stew and soup except myself cos they compalin its too peppery
Lol,pele love.mine was pasta with plenty of pepper.meanwhile u shud get pregnacare plus,dat way ur baby is covered in nutrients department.as every1 has told u,u av 2kip trying different things o b4 u no d1 dat will stay in ur tommy.
And please,I'm used to sleeping on my tummy and my mum makes it a point of duty to wake me up to lay by my side,what effect does dis have on d baby? I'm used to sleeping like that.I'm in my first trimester
Pls mothers I need ur help am in my first trimester but am NT aging food craving(I eat almost every food except chicken n fresh fish), no morning sickness pls is it normal?
My dear,I've heard its not good to sleep on your tummy when pregnant. I had to train myself on it too. Infact,nobody will need tell you to stop it when your bump starts growing,it'll be so uncomfortable for you.
Aww Congrats and welcome to the club! 😀
I'm in my second trimester and pregnant with my first baby. I've learnt that:
1. No two pregnancies are the same, and when it comes to food you have to experiment and experiment till you get it right. I had a friend who was constantly telling me I must eat this and I must eat that, meanwhile my body didn't agree with some things she suggested.
My first trimester wasn't so bad though, I did have nausea but I think I threw up about 4 times, mostly when I took milk as my body didn't agree with milk at the time. I also found that I started craving beans in any form, beans and pap, akara, moi moi, beans and corn porridge, etc. Eating crackers and bread worked for me too, and boiled yam. Indomie with lots of pepper also helped as the pepper helped to suppress my nausea. Oh I also took lots of 7up when I felt nauseous. It worked wonders. Chewing ginger too helped for nausea
2. Please take plenty fruits and vegetables. What I do is supplement my carbs one way of another with vegetables. E.g I'd eat rice with moi moi and meat/ fish or rice with plenty efo riro. I also try to eat fruits each day. Oranges, apples, watermelons are my best buddies now. Lol.
3. Please visit babycentre.com and register, you'd need to enter the date of your last period and they'd calculate your due date and based on that, send you detailed weekly emails on your baby's development and other helpful info.
3. Start taking PREGNACARE now. You don't need it with folic acid though cause pregnacare contains 400mg of folic acid and that's the daily amount you need. I suggest you add iron supplements though (I'm using Ferrodan) cause its low on Iron, it contains about 17mg while you need about 30mg or so daily.
I know the rest isn't food related but it helped me and might help you:
4. Try some form of exercise… Walking is what I do best, in the evenings.. If you're not an exercise person, start small, maybe 10,15 minutes and build it up gradually to about 30 minutes.. The little exercise plus the cool evening breeze helps me to be active, plus google Kegel exercises and Pelvic Lifts. These can be done at home and help strengthen your pelvic muscles.
5. Try to take lots of water, and pee once you feel the urge to so as to avoid having Urinary Tract Infection which is really common in pregnancy.
6. Please get original ORI (Shea Butter) and start applying to your breasts and belly now to avoid or reduce stretch marks. You could also get Coconut Oil and start applying that to your nipples to get ready for breastfeeding so you don't have sore or cracked nipples.
7. Please get a copy of SUPERNATURAL CHILDBIRTH, its a fantastic book which helps build your faith during pregnancy. Try to read the daily confessions every day as its important to build your faith now.
8. Please stop sleeping or even lying on your stomach or back. Lying on your stomach will become uncomfortable as Funke said, lying on your back puts the weight of your uterus and baby on your back and may cut off circulation to your baby. The best way to sleep is on your side, your left side actually cause this way ensures that enough nutrients flow from your placenta to your baby. It might be uncomfortable at first but you should get used to it now.
That's all I can think of now. Lol. Hope I helped.
All the very best dearie!
MrsB Tnx, I'm in my first trimester nd want to confirm if eating Titus fish is ok
Mrs B! Have learnt a lot frm ur post! Pls who is the author of this SUPERNATURAL birth, can it be bought online?
Hi Deborah! Aww glad I could help. The author is Jackie Mize and I'm sure it can be purchased online, if not, try Christian Bookstores, mine was a gift but my friend told me she got it from a Christian Bookstore.
The book is so helpful, I tell you.

Wow, so sorry about your miscarriage. Its well with you dear
@ Deborah Bala Supernatural childbirth is by Jackie Mezie and it prepares u spiritually for childbirth. I'm in my 3rd trimester of my 3rd pregnancy/baby and this book has helped all d way.
I've never felt sick or vomitted all through my 3 pregs n I stick to d same types of food my palate agrees with but with plenty over d top pepper.
Just seeing this.
1.Remove your coconut flesh from the shell
2. Shred/Grate into small pieces with a food processor/knife/grater
3. Blend into paste as you would for coconut rice but use warm water
4. Squeeze out first milk in a bowl. Soak the chaff in warm water and leave for say 10min then squeeze into your bowl. Repeat this step about 3 times or until the chaff is bland in taste. Careful not to use too much water
5. Pour the liquid in a bowl and put in a freezer for say 2hours or fridge for few hours or overnight as you wish/time permits you.
After this time, if your bowl is transparent you'll clearly see the milk separate itself from the water(i.e the cream will float ontop of the water in the bowl).
6. Scoop out your cream into a pot and on low heat, begin to cook and constantly stir with a spoon or spatula.
After few minutes(say 3-4) the oil becomes visible while your cream begins to form tiny tiny crumbs. Keep turning until you are sure all you have in there is dried crumbs and oil.
7. Allow to cool and strain.
The aroma of a homemade coconut oil cannot be over emphasized plus the crumbs too can be used to eat rice( so sweet).
You might want to keep that separated water for your rice or to mix with more coconut coz it'll still have a relatively sweet taste.
The process is shorter than my writing,hehe
Tip: dark shell coconuts tends to yield more oil.
Thank you Debbie, I will copy and paste this so that everyone can see.
the book can be bought at laterna book store, I think its is between #890-#900
God bless all of U. Mothers r d best

Thank you all so much for your contributions here. You don't know how helpful and encouraging all these write-ups has been to me. I feel depressed, but after reading all these, I'm a bit relieved. Thanks all. God bless you.
It's great to see a page like this, pls I need your advice I had miscarriage my first pregnancy last year April and since then nothing till this month but I notice that since I took in, I've eating anything, I'm always hungry. Hope no problem and what can u advice I should stay away from doing, so I'll not lose this one again. Thanks
Dear All,
I am happy to see all mother's comments. Our comments on food,sleeping position are all okay.God will see us through by His grace.I eat watever i feel like.In my first trimester i did BEGI BEGI can't eat what i cook its smells but i craved for my hubby's noodles ( He always prepare the noodles for me).Am in my second trimester i eat but little. Safe delivery.
Pls n pls mothers, shear butter is not good for men, especially on their private.
@ MrsA: African salad is not bad in itself but for the potash used in preparing it. U should prepare it urself n skip adding potash. As for peppersoup, u must prepare it urself ensuring dat u skip d "uda". Dnt buy already made 'peppersoup spice' cos u dnt knw what is in it. Uda is supposed 2 be taken after delivery to help flush ur system esp ur womb, dats why it can cause miscarriage n must be avoided during preg.
Hello my fellow ladies, please I need to know if pepper soup is safe during first trimester. Thank you so much 🙂
Very safe like any other soup.
Thank you so much, but I don't understand y some people say its bad for the baby

Hi, i went for my first Scan lasst week and was told that they could see a gestational sac but not foetal Pole, i thought i was actually 9weeks but i was told i am about just 5 weeks, i am really worried. i have been asked to come back for another scan in 2 weeks. has anyone else had this same experience?
it happened in my first preg n… I had miscarriage afterwards ….just be prayerful n hv bedrest it is well
@ Anonymous 08:28. You are ok when you are 8 weeks the scan will dictate the foetal pole and its activities. No pregnancy is the same.
No pregnancy is the same. i reacted to folic acid (Mayer and baker )brand and the pregnacare care i bought didn't go down well with me.imagine the surprise when i said i almost passed out when i took just a tab of folic acid thankfully the doctor understood it that folic acid is not for everybody and equally recommended something else that will give me as much as folic acid would have done.by the way i am 14 weeks gone and the baby is in top shape.always ask your doctor if in doubt.
Hi am having running stomach as I took abacha! Wat do I do cos it's rily bad and am in my first trimester!
Go see a Doctor ASAP

Hi everyone, am in my first pregnancy ,not married and confused because am not ready am just 19 I just opened my salon and my partner just lost his job, am in a great dilemma nd abortion seem to be the only option. Please mothers I need your help, what can I do?
nice lecture, am glad to visit this site. Thank you Mrs B. have registered on babycenter so nice and lovely.
Hi mothers in the house, please I will like to know if it's ideal to use pregnantone and folic acid together. My first doctor prescribed pregnantone for me and I have been using it since before my second doctor prescribed folic acid. Now am confused. Can i use both or I should just stay wit my pregnatone or pregnacare.
Please don't use both without confirming from your Doctor. You should have let the second Doctor know about your previous prescription. Look at the composition of that pregnacare just in case it contains folic acid so you don't overdose, just stick with one until you Con firm with a Doctorman ok?
Thank you ma. I will stick with the first prescription and confirm from the next doctor in my next visit. God bless

Hi all, thank God for Dis forum. I'm about five weeks gone. How early should I begin antenatal
@Mrs O,if there is no complaints you can begin antenatal at 20 weeks.
Don't worry, that's because you are still in your first trimester. You'll be fine.
Please don't take drugs. Manage the discomforts, they'll go away. Try bland foods like akamu, roast plantain, try abacha, food not cooked by you,drinking garri etc. Your husband can use them outside on his way out, the aches will all disappear by God's grace in your second tremester or later. If the discomforts are unbearable, go to the hospital ok? You'll smile very soon.
Hi, sorry I'm just seeing your comment. Hope you saw a Doctor for the pain. Safe delivery.
Good afternoon.. I am new here.. This has lifted my spirits in more ways than one.. Please, I was pregnant sometime back, lost the baby at 6mths ..weighed 58kg, lost some weight before I got pregnant a month after..55kg..i am 60kg now, all food appeals to me, no sickness or nausea.. Just tiredness. I need to know, is my weight healthy and how can I contain it? I had to stop exercising because I bleeded twice.. I don't want to be fat.. Please help me.. What food should I stick to? And I hate water except I add a little like.. I hope that's OK too.. Thanks
Nb: I am in my third month
Sorry about your other pregnancy and congrats! You should be happy that pregnancy doesn't disturb you and please ask your Doctor before exercising, could be dangerous. You lost your first pregnancy at 6 months? Try your best to start ante natal clinic before this pregnancy gets to 6 months ok. Safe delivery. God is in control.
Hello House
Pls is it safe to eat Afang soup when pregnant?
Thanks!
Afang is like every other vegetable we cook, very safe but can cause discomforts if over eaten and no pregnant woman should eat until they fall sick. When you eat afang soup for lunch, try not to eat it again for dinner as vegetables eaten that way purge some people. Eat something else in between. Even if the only soup you crave is afang, I'll advise you try and eat other foods in between the afang licking.
Safe delivery! God will take care of you and the baby.
Please ma, is it safe to drink teem, lacasera et al?
This is what had me surfing the internet for the past 4 hours. My husband bought peppersoup and agidi for dinner . But one mind asked me not to eat it cos of uncertainty of spices, so, i simply brought out my meat, added ginger, lots of crayfish and pepper with that black thick stick (uyak or isakirisa) and cooked my own soup. Been worried about it but you just put my mind to rest.
Hi, pls want to ask if eating starch with owoh soup is good for a pregnant woman, thanks
Thanks for y'all comments,it has been very helpful.God see us all through.
Hi, my first tym here n it's very helpful. Am 7weeks gone n I just tested little ukwa dat was made with potash. Am I suppose to b worried?
Welcome Chi, since you are fine, don't eat potash next time. Wait till your baby is delivered. Safe delivery.
Don't want my baby to be too big.
Good day, it's my first preggy. What foods are healthy for trimester 3?
Eat less carbs then, more of proteins and vegetables.
I read that ginger can lead to miscarriage. I asked a nurse who is a friend and a mother and she confirmed it. She said it is okay if used in stew but should not be eaten raw like in a smoothie. I was using mine in smoothies and i am going into my 2nd trimester.
You should research it too. Its just for pregnant mothers to be careful.
Thanks
Thanks.
Am so so happy to be here….in my 7 weeks and I feel sick everyday….I cant eat much but am stucked on watermelon and egg…rice is a no no..am just worried.no appetite at all

Hello everyone. Thank you for the great job. I just entered my third trimester and l want to know if it is okay to eat roasted plantain, yam and peppered oil?
Enjoy your meal. However, the oil shouldn't be too peppery. Not the one that will purge you or cause stomach upset o.
I literally read up all comments on this platform just be sure that I'm not the only one going through an interesting 1st trimester of pregnancy. Which started at week 5 for me. I can't cook or stand the kitchen which makes me sad cause busy husband is starving. I dont have appetite for anything around me. I throw up ay least twice a day from food, water and smells and have to take drip once in a while due to dehydration. Days when I do have slight cravings, I cannot eat unless someone cooks for me. The worse is, my cravings are food back home which is hard to get where I am here in the U.S. I'm craving efo riro, ewedu and stew with amala, gbegiri and pounded yam, fried yam from those women frying at night by the road side, agbalumo, fura de nunu, bread and hot akara in the middle, roasted yam and hot sauce, porridge yam with enough red tatashe, roasted titus fish or Kote with correct Ijebu garri, garri and kuilikuili would do sef. etc. Im just wishing I could visit Nigeria to eat all I want. Supernatural Child Birth is a good read. I listen to Andrew Wommack afterwards to really grow that faith. God help us all and give us children after his heart who would really impact this world for good.
