The only thing I could eat first trimester were crackers, applesauce, and ginger ale. My hypermesis was really bad until 21 weeks. I'll be 24 weeks friday, and try to eat fruit for breakfast, and some sort of veggie at dinner. I've only gained 9lbs, and my midwives say I need to eat more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy/page/2#post-2063730 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 06:10:38 +0000 snowjewelz 2063730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exceptionally well starting around 20 something weeks after I was diagnosed with GD :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063697 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 04:03:40 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2063697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the first few weeks, pretty good. I was hungry a lot. Then around 6 weeks I started feeling crappy, and from then til about 13 or 14 weeks, I was just eating what I could. Not always great! </p> <p>I finally started feeling better a few weeks ago. I still have some aversions here and there, but I've been making an effort to eat better. I've been craving a lot of fruit lately, which is good. DH still doesn't think I'm eating enough, but I had an appt. on Monday and the doc said the weight gain I had so far was fine, so...guess it's ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063690 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 03:32:37 +0000 Kemma 2063690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Much better since my GD diagnosis four weeks ago! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063662 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 01:48:00 +0000 gingerbebe 2063662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had awful MS from 5 weeks to 24 weeks? Oddly the only thing that kept my nausea at bay was greasy food and white carbs. I ate a McMuffin for breakfast every day, lots of burgers and fries for lunch, and white rice with fried chicken cutlets for dinner! And lots of milk and cheese and yogurt. Red meat always made me feel better, did not care for veggies, but ate lots of fruit. I was thirsty all the time so I was drinking gallons of water a day. Third tri I started having weird cravings for green juice so I had that a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063527 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 22:25:51 +0000 marionberry 2063527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really any different from before. Cravings really controlled what I wanted to eat, so sometimes they helped me eat healthier and sometimes they meant I scarfed down lots of unhealthy carbs. I always gained an appropriate amount so I knew I wasn't going too crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063516 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 22:15:57 +0000 Corduroy 2063516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate well my first pregnancy after first trimester. This time around I'm 22 weeks and while my meals have improved my snacking is still pretty bad. All I think about is food. I feel guilty if I eat it because it's crap and guilty if I don't because my doctor wanted me to put on a little more weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063461 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 21:36:15 +0000 Smurfette 2063461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate a ton of carbs, fruit, and pretzels during the 1st tri. I couldn't stand veggies and protein. I didn't go as crazy as I could have but I could have been better. I at least kept up with working out. But I still gained too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063453 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 21:32:10 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2063453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, this pregnancy has been all carbs. I can usually stomach a healthy (protein packed) dinner, but rarely anything except toast or a smoothie for breakfast. And the things that have been settling my stomach? Mint gum, mini M&amp;Ms and lemonade! So weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063441 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 21:25:50 +0000 getjazzy 2063441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First trimester was a crap shoot this time, same as with my first. Food aversions and nausea make it hard to eat anything but toast haha. Second trimester has already been better and I've been able to get more balanced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063432 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 21:18:16 +0000 erinpye 2063432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Terribly. Couldn't keep much down, even water made me vomit, and what I could eat was always super random, not always healthy. My doc just said whatever I could eat or drink was ok, even if that meant sipping Coke all day long (one of my "safe" drinks while pregnant). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063296 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 19:31:47 +0000 buttermilk 2063296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always been a pretty healthy eater and indulge in moderation. 14 Wks now and I've just been continuing my same habits. No morning sickness tho. My only cravings have been for fruit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063275 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 19:15:50 +0000 blackbird 2063275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a hard time with food until about 20 weeks. I finally got off diclegis at about 22 weeks and my diet has improved dramatically. It's amazing how being sick will Jack with it! I ate like a toddler for months: cheese and crackers and flavored waters and soda. Even water was nasty. It'll pass! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063239 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 18:40:06 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2063239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. Terribly. I am embarrassed how terribly I have eaten this pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063206 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 18:18:41 +0000 .twist. 2063206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate from the 2 most important (only?) food groups. Carbs and dairy. </p> <p>LASAGNA? YES. ALFREDO? YES. MORE ALFREDO? YES, PLEASE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063204 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 18:17:32 +0000 hellobeeboston 2063204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First pregnancy - CARBS ALL THE TIME.... At the end of the second tri and into the third I started doing a little better.</p> <p>This time - I'm only 8 weeks and i'm having more nausea this time than last time and eating is the only thing that is helping (and sea bands I think) and it's CARBS all the time again, or whatever doesn't make me queasy... Actually, i made salads the last two nights and it was good, along with my carbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063200 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 18:10:26 +0000 fancyfunction 2063200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not very well. All I wanted was carbs - esp pizza. In the beginning I couldn't stand chicken. But I did try to balance it out with healthy salads and snacks after my aversions subsided. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063195 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 18:05:03 +0000 Tidybee 2063195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying to eat lots of fruits and veggies at meals but for snacks, I must eat all.the.bakedgoods. and ice cream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063168 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 17:48:43 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2063168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I ate way too much sugar for both pregnancies. I have no control when I'm pregnant it seems. I also ate healthy but a lot of candy, chocolate, milk and cheese. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063159 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 17:43:46 +0000 dolphin 2063159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first pregnancy I ate super healthy. No junk food allowed in the house. Now with my second I'm eating anything and everything! Chips, ice cream, cheese fries... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063134 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 17:27:22 +0000 MK0180 2063134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was pretty nauseous my first tri and I couldn't stand drinking water which I normally loved. Hated it. It got easier as I progressed.<br /> I loved sugar, though :silly: Especially ice cream and ice cream sandwiches. I did, however, try to eat a vegetable at every meal and fruit and I limited caffeine - I made coffee mainly just for the ritual aspect (I drank maybe less than 1/2 cup a day) . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063122 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 17:21:09 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2063122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the first tri I did my best but with morning sicknes, a week long vacation to Florida and then the Holidays I struggled a little but I still did okay. Now that the holidays are over I'm doing great. I eat a ton but I'm eating very very clean and am feeling proud </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063121 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 17:21:07 +0000 youboots 2063121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks to GD lately healthier than usual. Before that during killer MS I ate to survive, so mac and cheese and all the ice cream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063113 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 17:15:54 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2063113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should be sleeping, but now I'm craving some chips! </p> <p>I ate surprisingly well during pregnancy - way better than I normally do. I wish I can say it's because of sheer willpower, but really it's because fried foods made me nauseous and desserts tasted way too sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063077 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 17:02:21 +0000 sarac 2063077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having a lot of trouble getting my daily fruit intake. Besides that, I'm doing ok. I just don't feel like eating fruit most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063072 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 17:00:58 +0000 Mae 2063072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Better towards the beginning, worse towards the end. At first I just felt like shit and nothing sounded good so I figured if I wasn't going to enjoy eating anyways I might as well eat boring healthy food. Then after 20 weeks cravings started to hit and I ate all the food. ALL OF IT. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063070 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 17:00:18 +0000 loki 2063070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm 32 weeks and honestly i have eaten horribly this entire pregnancy. i had pretty awful morning (all day) sickness until probably 20 weeks and by that time i was into such bad habits... i've been so exhausted too and commute 4 hours a day so prepping food/meals has not been a high priority. now that i'm firmly in the 3rd tri some of my evening nausea is back and i just can't be bothered. luckily i haven't gained much weight but i feel bad i'm not giving this lil one more nutrients :( just trying to survive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063061 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 16:57:22 +0000 LuLu Mom 2063061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm right down the middle (as I snack on Valentine's day candy) but I do everything in moderation and my snacks are always fruits/veggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-well-did-you-eat-during-your-pregnancy#post-2063041 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 16:47:55 +0000 BSB 2063041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: I'm 4w5d today.
