Eating healthy?

Question

Anyone in the first trimester struggling to eat healthy? With my first I didn’t touch one piece of junk food or fast food until I was 8 months along! This time around all I want is junk :( I feel so guilty but nothing else sounds good especially mixed with this nausea. Anyone else?

Answer

I’ve been forcing my family to extremely healthy, so my 4yo is currently on a food strike and I’m pretty sure my Husband is going out for lunch, and having another at work. 😂😂 I’ve been craving Brussels sprouts around the clock. But my vice has been Coke. I know the sugar is horrible and I had cut all soft drinks out last December, but sometimes Coke is the only thing I can manage to get down. They said I can have 200mg of caffeine daily, and I had to stop my migraine med’s so Coke & Coffee at least help a little bit. I’m definitely cooking more and trying to incorporate fresh, colored foods. We’ll see.

Answer

All I want is junk lol. But I try adding in veggies and fruits as snacks ! Or if I do a burger for dinner or pancakes (my recent favorite) I do fruit or a salad for the side.

Answer

Yep I totally ate a huge donut today 😂 I crave fruit a lot so at least that's healthy, I try and force myself to have at least a serving of veggies a day too. You can always have something like a v8 if eating veggies is too difficult. It's definitely hard with those food aversions!

Answer

I told my midwife I only want white foods, unfortunately ramen noodle soup is like #1...she suggested white basmati rice bc it’s  basically just at nutritious as brown rice (I melt cheese on my rice and it’s basically the junk food I want), potatoes have good minerals if you can manage to cook them up yourself, and she suggested I go to Jamba Juice and get a smoothie with greens every other day

Answer

My Ob told me not to even worry about nutrition in the first trimester. He said between taking prenatals and just eating normally the baby will be completely fine and people stress too much about it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

That was me with my first pregnancy. Only thing that help with my nausea was chips. Gained 25 pounds in the first trimester. Trying to be better this time! We'll see what happens with the nausea hits me.

Answer

Yep. 🙋🏻‍♀️
