I am curious to see how the other moms-to-be (and mothers) have changed their eating habits since getting pregnant. Also, any good recipes to share are always welcome.

Re: How have your eating habits changed?
I am trying SO so hard to eat healthy and stay away from the Junk food. I feel like being pregnant gives me an excuse sometimes to not care what I eat.. I did that with Billy and then had to loose SO much more weight.. I promised myself I wouldn't do that again... I havent been eating any differently really.. just more saltines it seems

Re: How have your eating habits changed?
Aside from staying away from certain fish, and deli meats, my eating habits haven't changed much. When I had nausea really bad, I ate a lot of starches/carbs b/c that is the only thing that made me feel better. I have also tried to drink milk more, but still don't drink it everyday.
I've always been a fairly healthy eater- I try to get a few servings of raw fruits and veggies in daily. But when I'm good I'm good, and when I'm bad, I'm bad, so I do induldge in things like chips, french fries and cookies once in a while.
I've been waiting for the strange cravings and eating habits to happen, but they never did during this pregnancy, not sure why.

At almost 31 weeks I can honestly say my hunger is tapering off....I'm not eating like I ate in the second trimester. I guess I'm just feeling full faster.

NuBride - that's b/c you're more full of baby now and your tummy is all squwished.
During my pregnancy, I drank a ton of milk - which is surprising b/c I hate drinking milk usually. Also, I craved oranges, grapefruits and blueberries constantly. I swear, I thought the baby was going to come out looking like a blueberry!
I never got any weird cravings either - just cravings for something sweet or something salty or savory. Truthfully, those really strange cravings are myths and wives tales.

I love red meat!!!!! I can't stand chicken anymore. It is so weird I hate ice cream now too I stopped all caffeine and I mostly drink water and seltzer. Sometimes I have OJ if my tummy can tolerate it. This baby loves cake too
Why can't you have deli meats? I never heard that one before

Re: How have your eating habits changed?
deli meats and franks have nitrates in them which are not healthy to consume when preg.
since I am BFing, no nuts( allergies may develop) and I have to stay away form anything gassy: califlower, broccoli, beans, cabbage, chick peas, etc.
If you can drink OJ I found that the tropicana low acid was YUMMY ...and it didnt repeat on me .
im trying to drink lots of water...and now I take not only a prenatal ...but also a calcium pill
