How strict are you with your diet?

Question

This is my second pregnancy.  With my first, I was a crazy person.  All clean, I did not give in to unhealthy cravings, I did not "live a little".  My son is now 4 and the easiest child on the planet to feed because he loves healthy food...no clue it that has to do with being in the womb.

This time around, I don't know that I want to be SO strict.  I ended up with a very sick preemie last time, so obviously, my healthy eating didn't give me a perfectly healthy situation.  Don't get me wrong, I do not agree that pregnant women should eat whatever they want while pregnant, but I just wonder how strict are you with your diet during your pregnancy?

Answer

Nope, I eat what I want. But that doesn't consist of fast food every meal or even every day. Some days it's pizza others it's a salad. I guess my body knows balance on it's own? Lol

Answer

Not strict. I try to incorporate healthy meals every day, but some days I just want some ice cream. I do stay away from fast food. I'm healthy, baby is healthy. And we love cheeseburgers.

Answer

I ate what i wanted, when i wanted. My baby girl came out perfect

Answer

Pretty strict. I'm a healthy eater anyways and always try and eat better when pregnant. As long as all the necessary nutrients are there, the food you eat doesn't affect baby health as much as it does the mother's body and health.  Baby only takes the nutrients it needs so it doesn't even use the junk from you. Calories are pretty universal when it comes to baby, they don't care what type of food the calories come from, just that there's enough of them. And as long as you eat a variety of food and take your prenatals, baby shouldn't have a problem getting everything else it needs regardless if you eat healthy or shitty lol

Answer

First pregnancy I wasn't really healthy and felt like crap toward the end and gained too much weight and my baby was big and my labor was hard. Trying to avoid that this time so I'm pretty strict. Going vegan. It's definitely paying off cus I feel amazing and have way more energy than I did my first pregnancy. But I had already started that before I found out I was pregnant anyway.
