Anyone else feel like they just aren't eating enough of the right foods?

Anyone else feel like they just aren't eating enough of the right foods?

I'm reading two different books and they seem so overwhelming...they tell you to have 6 servings of this...4 servings of this...3 of this....5 of this and so on......I just don't think I consume all of that each day...Is my prenatal vitamin enough?

Re: Anyone else feel like they just aren't eating enough of the right foods?

I dont consume NEARLY enough of what they 'recommend'. I eat healthy and what my body wants at the time and go with it. I did that with DD and everything turned out perfect.

I'm the same way. I eat what I can, try to make it healthy with protein, calcium, veggies. But it's hard to get in what they want you to get in. My doctor told me the most important thing is to take my vitamin. I figure anything else I can get in is a bonus.

Please dont stress yourself. Eat balanced meals that make sense and take your vitamins. I am living proof that you can have a healthy baby by eating/drinking ONLY IV fluid for almost 5 mths so as long as you make wise food choices I am sure all will be well.
