Am I a bad mommy-to-be?

Question

I feel like I am sometimes. 
Why? 
Because of the way I eat...
I should be eating healthy, and instead, I eat whatever I crave or what is in front of me. I eat fruits and veggies, but most of the time my diet consists of pizza, burgers, fries, tacos, wings, chimichanga's. And on top of that, I feel like I eat so much and constantly. I'm a small girl, 112 before pregnancy. I'm already 5 months and I now weigh 112. 
I just feel so guilty for not eating healthy. 
Doctors say baby is perfect and is the size she's supposed to be. But still... I'm starting to worry about her health...
And I'm craving freaking s'mores right now, ugh! 😔

Answer

Nooo you're not!
Its totally normal that you have cravings and who cares you can eat veggies later just enjoy your pregnancy!!! 
Try to do some sports and keep it a bit healthy but you dont have to say no to your fast food😂😂💓

Thats me a few days ago and I'm a proud pizza monster so cheers😂😂😂💓💓

Answer

Haha you're not a bad mum to be at all you're a normal craving pregnant woman! If that were the case id say most of the people in this app that are pregnant are bad mums to be 😂😂 I just smashed a pizza, zero guilt right here 😉

Answer

No you aren't a bad mother. Eat whatever your heart tells you. Baby will pull the vitamins and such it needs literally from your body. Eating healthy is more for you than the baby. Because the baby is literally taking it FROM you. Just take your vitamins every day, and go get you those smores!

Answer

You're not a bad mother! I'm exactly the same way I am small as well 5'6 and 110 before pregnancy and now at 21 weeks I'm 129!!! Aka I've gained 20 lbs basically 😮 I eat pizza, pasta, chocolate, burgers, even cup of noodles sometimes. I never ate healthy before and I don't now. However I do walk 30 mins or more a day and eat healthy for dinner at least. And make one of my snacks fruit, yogurt granola something like that, just throw healthy stuff in with the non you'll be fine :)

Answer

Some women don't start to gain weight until the end. Don't worry as long as baby is healthy and growing you're doing something right. :)

Answer

Nah, you're not a bad mother! As long as what you're doing isn't putting your baby in danger, you're good! 
I feel like a bad mother because I'm almost 36 weeks along and have nothing set up for her. It's kinda all piled in a corner. 😁

Answer

You are NOT a bad mommy-to-be. Just remember, bad moms don't worry whether or not they're bad moms. I will say that baby's taste buds are developing already inside the womb, and what you eat now can affect what s/he craves after s/he is born. I have a friend who ate very healthy with her first pregnancy, and her oldest LOVES to snack on fruits and veggies. With her second, she ate a lot of fast food, and her son prefers burgers and fries. I think as long as you're also eating fruits and veggies, giving your little one a taste for them and the nutrients you both need, there's no need to worry about giving into your cravings. Just keep an eye on your weight gain and sugar intake to prevent gestational diabetes, or increasing baby's chances of diabetes or obesity later in life.

Answer

Girl! I'm right where you are!!! 🙋🏻

Answer

You're not a bad mom!

....but no one holds a gun to your head to force you to eat like that. Just because you crave it doesn't mean you HAVE to eat it. You're an adult and responsible for your own choices. Too many people use pregnancy as an excuse for poor eating habbits. If it upsets you that you eat a lot of junk food then don't...

Answer

You are not bad mother. But if you feel guilty and worried change your diet like today.
