No judgment/bashing.. I've tried..
I have tried to eat the 5 small meals a day. But I don't. I don't know why. I guess I can't eat w/o feeling hungry. I know its bad not to. I havent eaten 3 full healthy meals a day since I was 12??(22 now)
I feel like I'm starving my baby. :-(( am I? how do I make myself eat??

Has any of you ladies not eaten correctly and baby be ok?

    Sometimes I feel like this too cause its just too hard lol and them having to drink so much water is even harder!!!

    I eat only a snack and one full meal a day. 5 small meals are hard to do.

    I'm the same way..but then I think about how it could effect the health of my baby and I make myself eat.
    Before I got pregnant I was only eating one meal a day..if that.
    But I know that it can cause my baby to be mal nurished and have health problems. So its better to eat. Even if its just crackers with peanut butter for a snack you know?
    I try to eat every food group at least once throughout the day..doesn't always happen..but it helps to make it a goal for yourself.
    Hope this helps..and good luck. I know its hard :/

    Squeeze in a few smoothies. Plain yogurt, banana, strawberries, whatever other fruit you like (pineapple, mango,...) honey, oj, ice, half a cup of dry oatmeal. Mix in a blender until really smooth. You get your fruit, protein, and fiber and it tastes delicious. I have one every day.

    I eat once sometimes twice a day. And its not healthy food. I try, but im allergic to all fruits and i HATE veggies. I just bring myself to eat them. As long as your doctor says you're fine and that baby looks good and healthy still, it shouldn't be a problem.

    My usualy items I eat daily are banana, granola bar, fruit snacks, pudding, sometimes a donut or cookie, and chips.

    We just moved last weekend and haven't unpacked anything. Literally.
    All week neither my husband nor I have cooked. We've eaten at restraunts and fast food. I do have at least one meal a day. But its not always healthy. Though I did get a salad 3 times this week. 2 were side salads and I also ate a chicken sandwhich with em.

    Fried food is soo yummy. Fried chicken :) mc chicken w/ pickles, fries. Yum. Before I got pg I started to eat better so I could get pg. Id buy frozen strawberries, raspberries and the red ones. Lol. But after they were just to freaking sweet. The grapes just don't taste normal now. But watermelon <3 I can eat that still and should get some.

    I do drink the water I'm suppose to. More actually. And I take my vitamins and iron pills

    My biggest problem is WATER! I just can't drink that much water I try but I'm lucky if I get 2 bottles of water a day. But I drink apple juice, milk. Some days I'm just not thirsty. :(
  • Leggs2011Leggs2011
    @lily_glz have you tried flavored water or gatorade? Its expensive but it'll be good
  • Proudmommy8789Proudmommy8789
    im not big on water so i have kool aide and flavored water milk(has to be chocolate) juice and gatoraide! i love making home made fried chicken with some white rice and a side of black beans!!

    dont worry too much about it. eat string cheese, thats 1 serving of dairy.
    4 crackers is a serving or grains & carbs.
    serving sizes are really small actually. so your probably eating enough.

    @proudmommy8789 @babymamma18

    Its tough trying to eat the good stuff when my husband won't even eat one string pea.

    I used to LOOVE string cheese and id eat so much of it. But since I got prego I haven't been able to eat them. But I haven't tried lately. So maybe I will pick some up when we go to the store.
  • brodysmammabrodysmamma
    Same problem so I decided to make Smoothies I bought all the stuff For it and fresh fruit I can't get enough of em. I say give That a try. And im trying to snack more like crackers and cheese. Its hard especially at work. :/

    I definitely don't eat healthy I hate fruit and veggies are my favorite. I love nachos and chili and stuff like that. And I only eat about one full meal a day and snack of junk the rest of the time. (Maybe that's y i have gained 20 lbs! Yikes!)
  • brodysmammabrodysmamma
    And water if You eat fruit fruit has lots of water in it and Does help with dehydration and get the full servings needed. I can only drink ice cold water since being pregnant so I freeze water bottles and drink them through out the day.
  • Jensensmommy15Jensensmommy15
    Oops I meant veggies ARENT my favorite
  • Babymamma18Babymamma18
    this is some stuff my doctor told me like 1 piece of bread,torilla,pancake,roll is 1 serving. half a bagel & half an english muffin is 1 serving per each half. 1 cup dry cereal is a serving. 1/2 cup noodles,rice,cooked cereal is a 1 serving. & you should be eating 7-9 per day.

    1 egg is a serving of protien....& 1ounce or chicken, turkey, or fish is also 1 serving of protien. you should eat about 6 per day.


    1 cup of vegies is a serving. cooked or fresh you should eat around 3 per day. same with fruit but you only need about 2

    1 8oz cup of milk is a serving. & 1 1/2 ounces of cheese is a serving.
    1 cup of pudding, yougurt,custard are a serving. 2 cups of cottage cheese is a serving. & 1 1/2 cups of frozen yougurt or ice cream is a serving...you should have 3-4 per day.


    as long as you keep around this its good. i dont eat alot of meat or dairy & im fine. just read labels. it usually says what a serving size is. its really easy. dont over feed yourself tho....cuz thats not good either.
