Keep eating junk food - tips anyone?

Question

I am 7 weeks but I keep craving burgers, chips and lots of mcdonalds - it's like I HAVE to eat it and then I feel like my nausea stops. 
​
​Does anyone have tips to avoid this? I know this is a very important stage in the baby's development and I don't want to cheat the baby from a healthy start.

Answer

I have become a potato junkie. Mashed with butter when feeling nauseous.  Fries and chips the rest of the time. I never ate these things before pregnancy. I crave carbs way way more then ever before

Answer

I'm 100% the same, even if I make myself 'McDonald's' i can't eat it and have to go buy myself something. And sweets!! I just want sweets!!! I figure if I keep it down then it's fine - gotta be better then nothing at all or throwing it all back up :)

Answer

My OB always says to trust your body--it knows what it needs, even if it feels counter-intuitive. Maybe look for the root cause. Are you craving primarily red meat? Sodium-rich foods? Your body may be craving that because you're deficient in iron or sodium. There are often healthy alternatives that will satisfy the same craving--the trick is finding them. :)

Answer

Craving sweets so bad!!!!! I eat healthy stuff and junk food haha! Craving bacon and I normally don't even eat bacon!!!

Answer

Potatoes (including chips and fries) really help my nausea too. I just try to eat healthier when I'm not feeling super sick.

Answer

​If the junk food is helping you,then go for it..

Answer

I eat whatever I want. The 2 pregnancies I was carful with I lost both babies so now I don't hold back

Answer

If it's something you can keep down, don't feel too bad. Your baby is getting the nutrients it needs from you and your prenatal vitamins :) 
​Maybe try make a burger at home and roast some potatoes cut into wedges sprinkled with sea salt and dried rosemary :)
