ugh...carbs!

Im starting to feel a little guilty over my pregnancy diet. In my pre-pregnancy fantasy world I figured i would eat nothing but veggies and fruit and broiled chicken but yeah....thats not happening. The smell of steamed veggies which i love makes me gag and chicken is nauseating

The ONLY things that I can get down, and make me feel better are carbs! Bagels, muffins, fries, crackers, toast ect. This has been getting worse over the weeks...please tell me i am not the only person lacking a nutritious diet.

Just make sure you're eating whole grain carbs and you're all good

Join the club! I am on a low-residue diet due to ulcerative colitis and very rarely get the fruits and veggies. I heart my bagels and pasta! You may feel better further down the road about those good for you foods.

Its better to eat what you can than eat something you know will make you sick!  Dont feel guilty, but as you feel better work some of those things into your diet..

I love carbs during the first 6 weeks, but I started working in sweet potatoes, and whole wheat breads and made better choices that way.

I still CANNOT get down protein so I added almonds and beans into some meals to try to help!

Its ok to gain weight. My doctor said 10 lbs a trimester is great and I am pretty on track with that.

Oh my God I am so with you!!  I totally envisioned myself eating perfectly balanced meals, filled with nutritious foods.  Instead I'm subsisting on tater tots!

You are not alone!  I wanted nothing but carbs up until about 2 weeks ago...now I can get some meat/veggies/fruit down but not as much as I know I should be eating.  Don't stress about it...that's not good for your baby either.  Just make sure your doc knows all about your concerns.

Glad to know im not alone! Beans are a great idea, It's carb-y tasting and full of protein. mmm im missing those high  school cafeteria tater tots right now. Think they'd notice if i showed up in the lunch line?

nope, i'm right there w/ya.

i figure 2nd tri is where i will worry about all that pesky nutrition stuff. but yes, my many daily slices of toast ARE whole wheat, and i am rockin' fruit. 

GL!
