What are your eating habits?

Just curious to know what you ladies eat on a regular basis. Did your eating habits change once you found out you were pregnant or do you just continue to eat the way you normally do, healthy or not?

Re: What are your eating habits?

Honestly, I've been eating the same quality and same amount as before I was pregnant. The only thing that's difference is I can't stomach chicken cutlets anymore :( I only gained 3 pounds in the 1st trimester, the dr. wasn't worried at all.

Re: What are your eating habits?

in a word Bad heheh. Whatever I feel like (usually something carby or ice creamy) hehe

Re: What are your eating habits?

Ok, good to know Im not alone lol. I went to the Dr. the other day and he scolded me on how I should be eating better. I know I should, its just so hard.

Re: What are your eating habits?

I eat everything I see

Re: What are your eating habits?

I wanted to eat healthy but, right now its not happening. I have been only able to eat carbs til last week when I actually was able to eat beef but, still cant eat chicken. Also up until the other day I was only able to drink juice and some water but now its mostly water and alittle juice. Cant drink seltzer anymore it makes me sick. I know I gained more weight then I would like in the past month but it was either that or throwing up food I couldt handle.

Re: What are your eating habits?

I am basically surviving on carbs right now and I have to eat every three hours otherwise I'm crazy nauseous.

Re: What are your eating habits?

I have not been eating the same at all. Some days i ate more carbs due to nausua, but in general i am eating a lot more...when not pregnant i was ALWAYS watching what i ate, eating light and healthy..since this is going to be my last baby, i have to admit, i'm indulging a little bit...for instance normally i'd never eat two slices of pizza and now i will and i just don't care. Terrible i know. However, I made a promise to myself that in the second trimester i will go back to bringing in lunch to work and try to be slighly more disciplined..i'm also not eating enough veggies, i need to change that now that i'm not nauseous anymore. I guess this is why i'm up 3 lbs at week 10.

Re: What are your eating habits?

I try to eat healthy, but some days are better than others. When I have the time to plan out meals and cook I'm usually pretty good. Other days when I'm running around or super busy, it's terrible. Yesterday I had a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast, a chicken pot pie for lunch, and pizza for dinner. My snacks were cheese doodles and halloween candy. Honestly, my doctor has never really asked about my eating habits or given advice other than the pamphlets they gave me at my first appointment.

Re: What are your eating habits?

when I was HGing the first 4 months, i could only eat fruit, protein drinks and small amounts of red meat and i would have to be eating every minute from the minute i woke up until i went to sleep! at 5 months, HG started going away and subsided into regular MS so now i can finally eat a more normal 3 meals a day with some fruit snacks in between. i try to stick with high protein foods though and can't eat anything sugary (makes me nauseous).

Re: What are your eating habits?

I have definitely not been eating as healthy as I normally do. I've been trying though!

My dinners are typically pretty nutritious, but I snack a lot during the day. I have been trying to eat yogurt, nuts, cheese, veggies, etc. but I do give in to my cravings when I have them

Re: What are your eating habits?

Since this may be my last pregnancy I'm indulging a bit. A lot more bagels and chocolate but I do try to eat lots of fruit daily...veggies are hit or miss. And I'm definitely not as neurotic about what I'm eating as I was the first time...which is what every btdt mommy has told me would happen.
