What have you eaten today? Pregnancy edition

[LapsedVeganAcademic]

Adapted from the popular thread on Chat. Hoping particularly that we can support one another through pregnancy sickness, hyperemesis, varying apetites and food cravings or aversions. Let's try not to be judgy

Snack: several plums

Obsessed with cheese at the moment 😂

Full fat yog with berries, nuts and one crumbled rich tea biscuit
Lunch cottage pie and veg
Dinner egg, avo on toast
Snacks 1 nature valley protein bar with nuts

I’m 8.5 weeks and the thought of chicken or salmon (which I usually eat loads of) gives me the heebie jeebies.

My children are grown up but both pregnancies I was super sick all of you suffering have my sympathy

never ate breakfast, lunch was lucozade and ginger biscuits, dinner was plain pasta with vinegar on or beetroot sandwiches on white bread

I am usually a very healthy eater! At least losing pregnancy weight wasn't an issue...never got over 10 stone!

DS was 7lb and DD was 8lb 10 they are healthy adults so my inability to keep most food down at least didn't affect them!

Diet has been fairly good on average so far. Had few weeks at the beginning when I went off anything dairy and tomato based, and had to eat plain carbs to stop sickness, but since then just the odd things I don't fancy.

Still starving after all that which is way more than I was eating pre-pregnancy. I don't know where it's all going (on my stomach and hips 🤫)

Marked this thread! It's too early here (6am) to post anything about what I've eaten today, but I will do later 😁

Question - I see that quite a few of you ladies are drinking coffee/eating ham/eating poached eggs or dippy soldiers/blue cheese are you not very strict with what you're eating when pregnant?

Please note that this is not an attack of any kind, I am seriously asking because I don't know how rigid I need to be with these 'rules'?! I'm trying to obey them but I'm dying for medium steak or medium eggs!

I suppose I can put down what I ate yesterday! 😄 I am 6+3

B: 2 whole eggs and 1 more white, scrambled and made in the microwave (easy and healthy at work). One slice of brown bread with some low sugar jam

S: a cup of skinny hot chocolate

L: leftover home made chili from the day before, some avocado and spinach rice and a dollop of sour cream

S: one slice of brown toast with a slice of Edam cheese, melted

D: small tomato soup and a slice of bread

I definitely eat more carbs when pregnant!
