Healthy eating gone to pot at 19 weeks!

[SAMlady]

Hi all,

Feeling really guilty as I used to eat quite healthily but since pregnancy and food aversions I am basically living off carbs, cheese and chocolate! I do want to try to eat healthy for the baby, but have gone off meat, fish and vegetables and am still throwing up. How worried should I be about this? Any tips to make things more palatable?

Pre pregnancy typical day would be:
B - Latte, overnight oats, L - salad with grains and fruit for lunch, D - scratch cooked meal with loads of veg and lean fish/meat, lots of water and 5/6 servings of fruit/veg

Now it is:
B - Latte, gingernut biscuits, L - cheese Panini or left over pasta, D - pasta, pizza or veggie cheesey thing with mash or chips, maybe with peas - but tiny portions e.g. quarter of a pizza. Still getting lots of water and drinking a fruit juice so prob on about 3 servings of fruit/veg a day.

I wouldn't worry too much, I'm similar to you and went off a lot of veg and meat. The baby will absorb the nutrients it needs, just try and make sure you're taking a pregnancy multivitamin with Vitamin D in to keep your stores topped up. Xx

Mine has too although Its been since mine morning sickness went away! I have always had a good diet plenty of fresh food etc but this
Pregnancy has had me having takeaway atleast twice a week! McDonald's is all I can think abaout and if I do eat at home all I'll eat is cheese cheese and more cheese! I actually ate an entire pizza to myself!! I have become a monster and now I'm
Scared I'm going to give birth to the worlds biggest baby or I'm going to gain a tonne of weight! But genuinely I can't control my cravings for them bad stuff in life!! May I just say your diet sounds awfully healthy compared to mine so don't feeel too bad! X

I'm 19 weeks and all I want is unhealthy carbs like pizza and chips too. I'm taking pregnancy vitamins so hopefully baby is getting what she needs.
Yours doesn't sound too unhealthy OP!

I'm 14 weeks and my aversions started at 6 weeks. I'm usually a latte addict but not had one in two months! Anything milky I've gone off.
I'm eating carbs and cheese basically. I keep hearing cheese is popular in pregnancy, even during severe sickness cheese is still tolerable! Wonder why that is.
I worry about nutrients too but I've read enough posts that babies always seem to get what they need regardless of our diets. I just hope the food aversions don't last all pregnancy because i am also bored of my lack of menu choices.
