Hi,
just wondering what everyone is eating at the mo?? I'm currently right at the beginning of my pregnancy, and my nausea kicked in 3 days ago. I've been lucky enough not to throw up, just virtually constant nausea.
I know I need to eat as well as possible...but thought I'd ask what people are consuming and enjoying. I think I need some ideas. I'm eating special K for brekky (which I don't like but it's a fairly healthy cereal), fruit, soup, and normal dinners. I had quite a desire for rocky road icecream last night...DH and I went to get some from the petrol station...with our pjs under our clothes . .... well I was desperate.
Hi I thought I would reply as we are about the same length along. I have m/s nearly constantly now, worse the afternoon and evening though. No vomiting so thankful for that. In the morning all I can seem to handle is tomato on toast, can't seem to stomach milk first thing which is very unlike me... I have been trying to snack all day, on nuts, pepitas, trying to stay a bit healthy but find its better to keep a full rather than empty stomach. Tonight we were a bit late with dinner and I was really hungry and feeling sick and now even though I have eaten I still feel sick, it's like once it starts you can't get rid of it.
With my first pregnancy I just remember eating dry saladas for the first four months - the only way I could stop feeling ill but luckily this time I can stomach more than salty carbs!
Everyone is so different so just experiment and see how you go, would love any suggestions back!
I would advise you to up your fibre intake All-bran has become a dull, yet essential staple in my diet.
But otherwise, maybe don't ask me, I just eat pretty much whatever I feel like.
I was mad for Special K too. So I healthed it up by swapping to a mix of rice and wheat bran flakes from a health food store, processed bran, with sultanas, chopped banana, and on a special occasion, honey roasted macadamias.
Nothing wrong with keping it simple, but try and get your vegies in wherever you can. For me it was home made baked beans, or avocado on toast, and blended vegie soups.
Porridge did it for me in the mornings..... although, I'd often lose it walking to work - had a wee old lady rubbing my back for me one morning - for shame!
I really loved eating bread - with butter and raspberry jam. And strawberry milk.
That was about all i could keep down in the first trimester!
Sorry, that was no help at all - but often you just have to eat what you can keep down and if Rocky road icecream is what's doing it for you, then go for it!!
I'm also eating lots of bread, which is not normaly in my diet. Mostly cheese sandwitches for me!
Oh and vegemite. Plus I'm really enjoying fruit and vegies. Nuts and dry biscuits. And hot chips and frosty fruits!!
In other words I'm eating everything! LOL. I can't seem to go more than 2 hrs without eating or I feel sick, but then most times I eat I feel sick anyway so I can't win!
food, food glorious food!
. .... well I was desperate.
