What my pregnant self is eating, 6/6

WinchesterGirl

Hey ladies! Saw this on one of the other BMBS and thought it would be fun! 

Also, once the MS sets in we'll be able to share what we can all still stomach. 

So, lay it on us - what are your favorite (or least favorite) eats this week?

WinchesterGirl

This week, I have been downing lemon water, and also other random stuff - fried pickles with Ranch, spicy chicken sandwich, and oddly enough I have wanted broccoli every day.

I'm eating all the spicy pickles.

Omg yesss!!! Wickles Pickles!!!

WorkingOnMyNightCheese

All I've wanted for days is Greek food. It's weird because it's not something I usually crave. GIVE ME PITAS OR GIVE ME DEATH.

Steelerfan78

@HarryPotterandCats Those are good too, but these are my jam!

WinchesterGirl

I love all the pickles! They are especially delicious deep fried. I feel like it's one of those strong foods that is either really good, or really bad.

I have also oddly been digging jello this week. I made some with raspberry lemonade and I've eaten quite a bit.

FerForShort

Grilled cheese and tomato soup (when its 98 degrees outside...) are my lifeline.

I am hardly ever hungry and when I am nothing sounds good. I always drink lemon water and I still like that, I am happy about that at least. 

Those pickles sound good! I think I will have some spicy pickled cucumbers later. (They are shredded amd different texture than pickles but I wouldn't know where to find those)

Currently enjoying lots of spicy foods... Will take advantage before the awful heartburn sets in.

yogadevil

Right now only various Naked Juices. I wish I craved something else, anything, but nothing sounds good at all

I had breakfast with my toddler so we split a poptArt with goldfish

My appetite has flew the coop but when I finally do get somewhat hungry, I just want junk food.

I've had Taco Bell and pizza recently and just had an everything bagel.

The lack of appetite makes dinner planning worse because nothing sounds good.  But DH and DS have to eat so I deal.

My diet has been pretty much the same: big salads and lots of veggies, protein (fish, grassfed beef, pastured chicken and pork). I have had a few treats like ice cream and dark chocolate. I do get nauseous but I force myself to at least take a few bites of something healthy and I tell myself if I don't like it I don't have to eat it but once I start eating I'm normally fine. I also picked up some vega sport protein powder so I can make some shakes if I really don't feel like eating.

I have been craving a lot of fruit. Fruit smoothies are the only thing that sound good. Also beets. I normally hate beets but lately I've wanted them everyday.

Egg sandwiches with HOT sauce, sesame noodles, and peaches.

I've been into ice cream and salty foods this week. Not really any strong cravings or aversions, but I ate a potato chip today it was HEAVENLY, and I'm usually pretty apathetic about salty snacks !

All I want is mexican food!

LinnyAnne10

Mexican food. tonight it's fried chicken

BumpasaurusRex

DH is picking up Chinese on his way home and then were taking DS for frozen yogurt!! There's a great spot near us that has a ton of toppings.

 I'm thinking baby needs peanut butter cups and hot fudge.

PerraSucia

@SenoraKahlo and you can say "please lay down those funky beats" at every meal

cucumber water, pickles, and mexican food! I always love mexican food, but for all of my pregnancies I am a lunatic if I don't get some authentic mexican food at least once a week. 

WinchesterGirl

Last night I managed to make and eat butter spaghetti, with some broccoli and green beans and.... taco seasoning? It was the only thing that sounded good. 

I wanted tacos, but not enough to drive myself to get them after DH got called back to work. Today he has promised me soft tacos!

Anyone else not feel like eating something by the time they've cooked it?

My nausea isn't that bad yet, so I usually just stare down the food, ignore however it smells, and make myself eat it like a robot. 

WinchesterGirl

@Xstatic3333 I have thankfully had NO nausea thus far... I just get this feeling like, nope.... not gonna happen. No desire to eat that.

Patience7150

@WinchesterGirl I was just going to comment that whatever I eat, it's only a few bites until I lose all interest in it (except fruit...I could eat that all day).

So last night I woke up at like 2 AM, ravenously hungry. I didn't get out of bed and eat, but this could become a thing. What are some good midnight snacks that I could easily have next to my bed?

I keep those individual packages of crackers in my night stand. They are Austin cheese crackers with peanut butter. I get the ones that have 4 to a package. Some have 6 to a package but 4 suits me better. I like them because they don't need refrigeration and they are sealed. Plus the peanut butter helps hold me over from getting the shakes.

The only thing that sounded even mildly appealing was toast with pb and banana. Mackenzie wanted eggs for breakfast, I'm thanking the refrigerator gods that we were out of them. 

BumpasaurusRex

I just had a croissant donut for the first time.

I have a feeling it won't be my last, oh my word!

LadyBrettAshley23

I threw up my favorite Starbucks drink this morning and then ate a slice of pizza from Sam's. All before 11 am. Oh boy.

WinchesterGirl

@paigeed have you tried graham crackers or beef jerky?

fourPsinapod

Anything fried. Or fajitas. Or ice cream. I gained 75 lbs last time so I'm trying to avoid that but nothing else sounds appetizing. 

paigeed

@WinchesterGirl good call. I will try to get a few things that are easy to access/ close up for the middle of the night.

WinchesterGirl

For some reason this morning, I decided that for breakfast this morning, I needed bacon and toast.... with collard greens and sautéed onions. DH gave me the side eye, but he had some collard greens too.

I don't do bacon but the rest of that sounds amazing! Cooked greens have been my friend so far this pregnancy, and I hope it stays that way. 

We were at a hotel last night, and I hardly ever do sugary cereals but the continental breakfast had Raisin Bran and it was effing great. 

WinchesterGirl

@Xstatic3333 now you made me want raisin bran.

paigeed

All you ladies with your collard greens put me to shame. 

I may or may not have just finished an entire box of Mac & Cheese by myself for lunch... And the rest of the box of fishsticks too. There were only like 6 fishsticks though, so that makes it better right? 

kswiger06

Oh yum! Fuji apples, here I come!
