I ate a lot of cereal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-while-pregnant#post-2057174 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 10:04:53 +0000 psw27 2057174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I frequently cooked and then was disgusted and ate pop tarts or crackers for dinner instead. Oh pregnancy, you were so fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-while-pregnant#post-2057154 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 09:51:16 +0000 creativemomma15 2057154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I barely cooked in my first trimesters. DH dealt with food/takeout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-while-pregnant#post-2057146 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 09:46:07 +0000 Rockies11 2057146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't cook at all during pregnancy. It gets really expensive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-while-pregnant#post-2057078 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 08:42:55 +0000 Anagram 2057078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That happens to me, so I've "solved" that by hardly cooking, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-while-pregnant#post-2057047 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 08:26:46 +0000 ineebee 2057047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We participated in a farm share last summer when I was in my first tri, and I was cooking veggies ALL THE TIME which was the one thing that I couldn't stand eating. It was hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-while-pregnant#post-2056842 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 00:19:52 +0000 simplyfelicity 2056842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was so sick that I didn't cook anything for a couple months. It was a BIG deal when I made grilled cheese sandwiches. DH stepped up to the plate plus lots of take out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-while-pregnant#post-2056821 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 23:33:14 +0000 Anya 2056821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't make dinner for like 2 months. It was rough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-while-pregnant#post-2056771 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 22:38:06 +0000 Torchwood 2056771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, do it a lot. And right now DH is rarely making it home for dinner, so half the time I cook a meal and it winds up only getting eaten for lunch the next day. Next week I'm just planning for fewer meals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-while-pregnant#post-2056768 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 22:30:03 +0000 sapphire 2056768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes we would have dinner planned but then it was time to make it and I couldn't stomach it. DH did most of the cooking at that time. We learned to be flexible, plan simple meals, and not be afraid to go out for whatever I felt like I could eat at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-while-pregnant#post-2056673 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 21:18:52 +0000 catomd00 2056673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's why I hardly cooked at all during pregnancy! Let alone the first trimester! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-while-pregnant#post-2056661 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 21:11:08 +0000 Jess1483 2056661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh! And early in this pregnancy, I had to eat super fast, because 1/2-way through pretty much every meal I started getting totally disgusted by it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-while-pregnant#post-2056658 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 21:07:28 +0000 Jess1483 2056658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! More with my first pregnancy than this one, but (because I didn't have a toddler), I'd cook a super elaborate meal, get it on the table…and then eat cereal. DH never complained. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-while-pregnant#post-2056653 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 21:03:51 +0000 blackbird 2056653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I totally had those days. Sometimes just the prep and smell of it cooking was enough for me to lose my taste for it. Once I made pork toast gyros and I made DH eat it plus the leftovers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-while-pregnant#post-2056610 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 20:42:24 +0000 mrsjyw 2056610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, that was all of first trinester (if I even make it to cooking it). And even nowadays at 15.5 wks, I am cooking more often but it's usually for dS and dh! </p> <p>Carry out was my bff the days I could eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cooking-while-pregnant#post-2056569 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 20:20:35 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2056569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been thinking about dinner all day and looking forward to it. Now that I'm cooking it I think it looks and smells gross! Do you ever cook and then not eat it? </p>
