Scared by my new scoffing habits!

[Scampynoodle]

It's just that I used to eat so healthily but since getting pregnant (17 weeks ago) I eat so badly. I can't stomach veg (apart from spuds) and while I love fruit it does nothing at all to stop me being hungry.

In fact I had a complete meltdown last night because I worry about the baby's health - yesterday I lived off noodles and cereal because that was all I could stomach (I still feel sick when I get hungry). Course, I take Pregnacare supplements so there is some goodness going in but am I the only one who has gone to pot on the grub front?

Sx

For the first 16 or so weeks I ate really healthily. My appetite dropped to next to nothing, and the only stuff I could stomach was really bland food, salt and vinegar crisps or fruit and veg.

Recently though its all gone to pot. My appetite has come back with a vengeance, I've rediscovered my love of chocolate and cakes and I've put weight on. I am eating complete crap now, and I just can't bring myself to eat only healthy food. If I have something healthy for lunch or dinner, I just get the urge to munch for the rest of the day/evening - not good!

So in summary, no you're not the only one scampy In fact, scampi and chips is one of my most craved meals at the moment!

Scampy - really dont worry. Eat whatever you can face and listen to your body. Give it what it needs. I am in my final trimester and pretty much live on fruit, toast and cereal! Whatever it takes!!

I used to low carb before i was pg. Now i just eat what i can face! I try not to be toooooo bad, but if i am, well - tomorrow's another day!

Mad isn't it? I even had a fancying for coal a few weeks ago. It only lasted one night but if I'd have got my hands on a lump I'd have fried it up with chips.

Oooh, chips....

Sx

oh, dont say chips!

I've been eating total crap too as well as a few healthy foods thrown in. Up until the last couple of days my cravings have been carrot cake and Mars bars. Weirdly in the last two days I can't get enough of oats mixed with bran flakes covered in cold full fat milk so thankfully slightly healthier. I found i've gone off fruit apart from the odd apple or banana which is weird because I ate loads pre pregnancy.

Fish and chips is my nemesis at the moment. I have it at least once a week, and I just can't get enough of it.

Especially with loads of salt and vinegar on it....mmmmm...

mmmmmm..... chip shop chips........

I've just scoffed a bacon sandwich, and desperately want another one

chips.....

LOL at another food thread turning into food porn.....

You musn't worry too much about it. I had hyperemsis (severe sickness) and I could not eat anything at all and became a skeleton. The MW said to me, you have been eating your whole life, your body has stocks and it will be fine for the baby. He was fine!

Chucks Dal a £2 coin and shouts "GET AS MANY AS YOU CAN WITH THAT!!! LOADS OF S&V!! CHEERS!!!"

what are we like? I have been wanting chips for ages and have steered well clear! keep convincing myself they will give me indigestion!

im trying to not eat crap (newly pg with dc3) but i have wanted hips for a week. no joke.

(apologies to Scampynoodle-got carried away!)

PMSL 'hips'! Chips will give me them im sure!

chips

Oh no doubt Scorpio!! But when your hips are as big as mine, you dont give a flying f*ck about one more portion while you're pg!!

damn, i thought I was bad wanting bacon sarnies, but now I'm desperate for chips, and curry sauce, maybe even a battered sausage

and pineapple fritter. mushy peas. brown sauce. fish. maybe a pie? and scampi.

pickled onions

And lorayn ups the stakes by adding a battered sausage to the mix!
Hips/ chips - agree with RGP - one and the same arent they? If i hadnt already had lunch (v healthy hummus in wholemeal pitta with salad, followed by a yogurt) - think I may have broken and made a visit to le chippie!

Apologies to scampy also...but think you can tell, nothing wrong with wanting to eat what you want to eat! LOL!
