I love vegetables!! I think it's hard work though, even as a vege lover to get down 5 serves of vegies every single day. I know most people dont' but it is so so so so so important when you are pg. bub needs some too. Your nutritional requirements double! But V8 juice sounds like a nice way to sneak in an extra few.why don't you try winter vegetable soups? They are my fav for sneaking in a few extra servings.. or I cook corn on the cob then cut it off and snack on it.

hoobley is right. Any mum who doesn't eat veggies is going to have a lot of trouble getting their kids to eat veggies. We have terrible trouble getting my step daughter who is 4 now to eat them because she has watched her dad say "no peas for me" or "no veggies for me tonight". He is now having to have them regularly in order to get her to eat them. He's feeling a whole lot better for it too. Try and get yourself retrained in to eating them now.... for the future.
For those who don't like the taste of veggies try putting gravy on them or putting a cheese sauce on your broccoli and cauliflower. Honey in your carrots will sweeten them up. A bit of mint in your peas can improve them as well. Start looking at some cook books for some ideas on how to make your veggies tasty, they don't need to be bland.
Dieticians usually say that eating the original fruit or veg is far better for you than drinking the juice of them. Not sure why that is, but that's just what I've read.
