What to eat?!

Question

Hi I just found out yesterday I'm 4 weeks and 4 days! I am not really sure what to eat...now that I'm eating for 2 I want to make sure I grow a healthy baby help please! 😊

Answer

I love the food safety check on the Ovia app! There may be one here too, I've just never seen it. Some fish isn't safe, but others are. No raw sushi. People used to say no seafood in general but it is not that way anymore, so if you're craving something just look it up first! No cold deli meat but heated is fine. No unpasteurized cheeses. I honestly haven't felt that limited. I eat soft cheese if it's pasteurized, if I want a sub I get it toasted or heated, I drink a cup of coffee a day. If you're really sick, eat what you can, the baby will pull what it needs this first trimester! Once you're feeling better, just try to eat a high protein diet and vegetables and fruits, but you really don't need to increase your amounts of food yet!

Answer

Eat what you can. In the first trimester I was all about food aversions and lived off plain cherrios. 23 weeks now with a healthy baby boy.

Answer

You don't need to eat for 2! Just keep a healthy balanced diet. 
I was just told to avoid soft cheese because it could be unpasteurized, sushi, limit coffee to a cup a day(but I cut it out completely), & be careful with lunch meats
I only ever ate when I was hungry, you don't need to eat more than usual! I had a hard first trimester, well up until 23 weeks I was throwing up 6 times a day if not more lol so honestly just eat what you can & hopefully you dont end up with morning sickness!! & if you do, crackers are the best to carry around & just nibble on through the day. That'll hopefully help with your tummy if you get it 😊

Answer

Thank you everyone!! I appreciate all the advice it's nerve racking when you're just trying to everything the right way! 😊

Answer

Just eat normal, and don't literally eat for two otherwise you will hate yourself after you have the baby because you'll have all of that extra weight lol. 
There's a few things you are not aloud to eat, like fish. There's a food look up on here and you can look through it or look up what you're about to eat to make sure it's not going to do any harm.  Other than that, you can continue with your normal diet + a prenatal vitamin! 🤗
