What do you eat!?

Question

I am in my first trimester, first pregnancy, and I cannot keep anything down! I am constantly nauseous/starving😭 I keep asking other moms what they ate and they either say they "never got sick" or they just suggest crackers or dry cereal.. What did you all eat that was actually good for you and the baby!?

Answer

If you can, try peanut butter (I mustered down one spoonful in the morning) or a PB&J. I was so sick and weak in the beginning. The only think I could keep down were crackers but since they have no protein, I would begin to feel sicker then if I hadn't eaten. Find something with protein that doesn't make you sick. I could also stand a glass of milk and string cheese. I enjoy peanut butter clif bars too. I couldn't eat ANY meat, the texture alone had me running to the toilet. Mostly peanut butter was my saving grace, sometimes a hard boiled egg, and cheese and crackers. My nausea subsided around week 15 but has come back a few times after week 30 (getting kicked in the stomach doesn't help).

Answer

I couldn't eat much. Eat anything you can even if it's ice cream or pizza, that's what I did. It's better than not eating anything. I literally could not stomach meat or any vegetable what so ever. I lived in cheese pizza & French fries. For nausea, suckers, jolly ranchers, and those preggo pops really helped me!

Answer

I hardly ate anything but the only thing I could actually keep down was salad and steamed vegetables. Your body produces hormones in early pregnancy that use your fat store as energy to keep you going. So don't worry to much as long as your drinking enough water just eat whatever you can keep down. Fruit smoothies are a good way to get some nutrients ☺️

Answer

Anything sour!! Peppermint tea to help me hold down some water. Toast was my bff for a while

Answer

I had a lot of nausea and no appetite and my husband was really worried.  He bought me some nutritional drinks from the grocery store and I really liked those!  They taste like chocolate milk and it gives you a lot of the nutrients you need when you can't eat.

Answer

One of my friends was told by her doctor to eat whatever she could keep down. Nutrition is important, but it's more important to actually be able to eat. I found that grapes & Graham crackers help when I'm nauseous.

Answer

Hot wings, hot Cheetos, and McDonald's were all I could keep down

Answer

Anything you can keep down, eat it. If it's a smoothie or pizza, eat what you can. At this point the baby is so little that you need to be more worried about making sure you're alive. The baby will take whatever nutrients it needs from your body, but you're body has to keep going for it to be able to. You'll be okay. Ginger, peppermint, and the BRAT diet are all easy on the stomach and could help if you can stomach absolutely nothing else.

Answer

I had potatoes and eggs. Nutritious but not heavy and easy to digest. I sucked on jolly ranchers all day too.
