Meal ideas for a pregnant lady?

3 replies

I'm looking for some meal ideas. I've started my maternity leave but I'm struggling because I am at home, I'm reaching for all the sweet, unhealthy options.
Does anyone have any examples of what they eat in a day? Would love to see some different ideas of what you all eat so I can get a bit more variety.
What do you have for breakfast, lunch, dinner and what snacks do you have in a day?
Especially at this time of year when we're getting back to those lovely warm cosy meals.
Thanks in advance!

I was pescatarian when I was pregnant. I ate salmon twice a week, plus lots of eggs, sweet potatoes, leafy greens, dairy, nuts, lentils and beans.
At this time of year, breakfast was porridge with dried fruit. Lunch was usually an omelette/scrambled egg on toast/lentil soup/Greek salad with pitta bread
Some of my favourite dinner recipes were/are:
Salmon fried rice www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/salmon-egg-fried-rice
Lentil ragu www.gousto.co.uk/cookbook/vegan-recipes/10-min-lentil-ragu-with-spaghetti
Satay sweet potato curry www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/satay-sweet-potato-curry

Just a bit Envy as I could never keep anything down with my first!

One thing I did when LO arrived though was to make a soup and freeze it in batches so that I always had a quick lunch available.

My mom always used to eat pasta. She would heat it up in a oven for a couple of minutes and then have it for a quick lunch. Other quick lunch ideas include left over pizza, baked potato, stewed fruit, sandwiches and the like.
