Eating really badly and worried

Hi all.

currently on holiday on the last day of it, and have been eating out everyday for dinner such as a pub, Burger King, pizza etc and been trying to eat a healthier lunch if possible later on. I’m 27 weeks pregnant and I’m having so much guilt over this and worried it’s going to affect pregnancy and harm baby
is this bad as I have been getting swollen feet but we’re at holiday park and been doing lots of walking so may have something to do with that.
has anyone else done this? Will it harm baby ?

A few days of unhealthy eating isn’t going to hurt but any reason why you can’t have a healthier meal?

I personally wouldn't worry, just try and aim a bit healthier when you can. I've seen people live on fast food throughout their pregnancies and have perfectly healthy babies. A pre-natal vitamin would be a good idea to even things out a bit while your diet isn't the best.

You're on the last day of your holiday. Just enjoy it and eat healthier when you get home.... your baby will be totally fine xx

It will do no harm whatsoever. Seriously I had really bad HG, and survived for 4 months on little more than dry rice crispies, and most of those came back again. DS is a strapping 24 yo now, no impact at all.
I would mention the swollen ankles to your midwife though - just in case (nothing to do with what you have been eating though).

It will be fine, a few weeks of unhealthy won’t hurt.
Put your feet up today and enjoy the lat day of your holiday, drink plenty of fluids today and mention the swollen ankles if they continue.
Once your home you will be back to eating normally.
