Lots of water, fruits, vegatable and very important for your bone health- calicum.

Of course I say this as I sit at my desk eating candy corn.

Re: What to eat ?

I eat a LOT of cheese, but it that enough calcium? I dont have much milk. I tried Chocolate milk, but I dont even like that And I hate yogurt?

Re: What to eat ?

I just try to balance things. For ever Big Mac I eat, I make sure to have some grapes or milk or something.

I try to get at least 4 servings of fruit and veggies a day. But I'm not denying myself anything either.

Do you like OJ? You could get the kind fortified with calcium.

Re: What to eat ?

I take a calcium supplement (per my OB) since I don't eat much dairy or drink milk.

I eat whatever she wants although I do try to eat fruits and veggies every day in addition to the sweets!!

Re: What to eat ?

Ah, the diet section of "What to Expect" made my head spin!

I'm just thinking moderation in everything. At the beginning I had some days where I could only eat a Happy Meal or similar, and there were days when I only ate bagels. I HATE veggies, but I try to eat fruit several times a day, and I drink a lot of skim milk. Also, I'm trying to eat whole grain whenever possible (Ronzoni Healthy Harvest pastas are REALLY good!).

I make a pot of tomato sauce from scratch every week, and I get a few dinners and lunches from that- I make turkey meatballs and chicken to have with it. Lycopene is good, pregnant or not. Luckily, I love sauce and pasta.

Like leighla said, the calcium fortified OJ is good too. So many things are fortified with calcium, I know Nutri-Grain bars are and I got these 100 calorie Jello pudding cups with calcuim too.

Re: What to eat ?

go by the standard eat a rainbow thing.....eat lots of different colored things.

lots of water

lots of protein for energy

milk products for calcium.

lemme tell ya....I ate ok...not out of the way healthiest....like half a bag of cheez doodles in one sitting and ice cream probably more nights of the week than not. The DR said it was FINE. I don't drink milk, so the ice cream was ok. I didn't put on a lot of weight.

and as a BTDT preggo....give in the to cravings.

Re: What to eat ?

I honestly did not eat very well while I was pregnant (not something I'm proud of either ) but DS is thriving and doing great, so I am not the best person to ask I suppose

I took a calcium supplement since I was not getting enough dairy in either, and an iron supplement due to my anemia. I tried to eat veggies and fruit, but often they made me kind of For the first 14 wks I was soooo sick with M/S that my diet was awful, and I fully admit to eating tons of junk food throughout.

I know everyone is differnet but try not to worry too much about your diet, your baby will def. take what it needs from you and in cominbation with your prenatal vitamin, you should be ok
