Did you change your diet when you found out you were pregnant?

Question

Today I found out I was 6 1/2 weeks. We had been trying for almost 2 years, had 1 miscarriage last year. I plan on eating only healthy, real foods. I'll do my best to eat well balanced meals. I'm used to skipping meals or eating very little but I'm motivated to become healthier. Quitting sodas, staying away from fast food places and deli meats. What changes have you made to your diet? Any diet suggestions are welcomed 😁

Answer

I’ve been trying and my plan to eat only super healthy foods, but with the nausea, I have ended up eating whatever my body will accept without making it worse.

Answer

I gave up coffee and obviously all the foods that you aren’t supposed to have.

Answer

I definitely wanted to! I had changed to a vegan lifestyle before getting pregnant and I wanted to continue during pregnancy.... however, morning (all day) sickness started at 5 weeks for me and I haven’t been able to eat a real meal in almost 3 weeks- I have food aversions to everything. I literally eat what I can and pray it stays down. If you can eat healthy- go for it!! I’d love to just eat in general 😂

Answer

I limited my caffeine content. The first trimester I cut out all caffeine. I have since started drinking decaf which has small amounts.

Answer

I drank decaf in the first trimester. Then switched to half caf as I was still under the "safe" amount with two cups of half caf. Other than eating WAY too many timbits (those are donut holes for you non-Canadians) around 30 weeks, I FINALLY stopped eating sugar so I could try and grow a smaller baby. Lol she was still 8lb 7oz at 40 weeks. Good one, me.

Answer

I had every intention of eating healthy 
But not happening that way

Answer

I did but against my will. My little guy wouldn’t let me eat anything but oranges/peaches, salad, cheese and bacon.

Answer

I’ve eaten wayyyyy more Frosted Flakes and candy. I’ve also experimented with different flavors of chips... I’d love to be eating super clean and healthy but as time goes on, you are never satisfied and hungry ALL the time. Put it in front of me? I’ll eat it

Answer

The only habit I changed was no alcohol lol. I dont drink soda so I never worried about that. I drank my coffee every day. Ate what I could keep down at the beginning and loaded up on protein toward the end because I was anemic and couldn't stomach the iron supplements.

Answer

I just crave a lot more fruit and like salty things. The pickle wraps with the cream cheese and ham.  Ohhh ya...
