What my pregnant self is eating 12/21

boymom4eva

Good morning (or afternoon) ladies!

I'm new here but can I play? 

All I can think about right now, at 9:45am, is pizza.

I had avocado toast for breakfast but I want soup. Any kind. I just want soup. 

boymom4eva

You'd think I'd remember pregnancy being this is my third but I do NOT remember cravings starting this early. Can it even be considered a craving at this point? Do I just have an unhealthy relationship with pizza? I feel like a crazy person.

mrsbubbles-2

You guys. I got my new insulin doses and I can eat (some) carbs again!
Life is good!

I ate my healthy lunch that DH packed for me but all I really want is those flatbread things from Panera. Specifically the tomato mozzarella one *drool*

Carbs. I am eating carbs.

I think we will be great friends.

Bread, egg, cheese, fruit, rinse, repeat. Similar to first pregnancy. All my healthy foods gross me out. 

derbysquirrel

Buttered toast. Morning sickness, ugh.

hardlyhannah

Chicken broth. Lack of appetite has kicked in. Although pizza does sound amazing

Today is the first day I am experiencing legit m/s and all I want to eat is French fries and potato chips. All proteins and produce are super unappealing. Should I force myself to eat healthy (read: not just salty starches) or just roll with it? I am feeling anxious about giving the baby zero nutrients. I’m not throwing-up sick (yet), just kind of queasy. 

missybutler94

Bagels and Mac and cheese! All the carbs!

ncnole26

All the carbs here too... on and off nauseau most of the day but I'm starving and nothing sounds good! Except pizza.. bread.. cheese.. and maybe chick-fil-a! 

offtoneverland

@legallykate IMO, if you're taking a PNV I think it's fine to have a few days here and there to just eat what you want without forcing something down that doesn't sound good. It's horrible trying to firce yourself to eat something when it sounds so terrible!

I had a tin of sardines for lunch, which ironically didn't smell or taste as vile as the leftover grilled chicken in the fridge that I tried. And another mixed greens salad with avocado and tomatoes with Italian dressing. I can't get enough garlic and onion, it seems.

But I'm so nauseous right now baking spiced molasses cookies, the aroma is almost more than I can stand. So, the windows are open and I'm nibbling saltines and sipping water.

I am envious of you ladies craving carbs. I am currently living off of ginger chews with maybe a small meal for the day. My stomach is always upset, so I am pretty much starving. I am not puking, so I am happy about that.

Cookies. Lots and lots of cookies. I'm trying to control myself, but it's hard. I've gained a pound or two already, and I don't remember this happening with my first. Not this early at least.

jsnakehole

Tortellini, mozzarella sticks, and salad. So needless to say, mostly mozzarella sticks. 

@7425cait I've already gained three pounds. This is my first. 

aj1327

I’m on the same page as @scottishlass1213. Bread, cheese, eggs, with an occasional piece of fruit with almond butter. Everytime I’ve forced myself to eat something healthy (like vegetables) I throw up. I did eat a fish taco today at lunch. It was fried, but there was some romaine and cabbage on there. 

miracle_rainbow

Cheese burgers, steak and pickles 

juliebird6

With my first I was totally all about the carbs (bagels, pizza, pasta) like most of you ladies. This time around I'm struggling to eat at all. Nothing sounds good but nothing sounds too terrible yet so I've basically been trying to keep doing what I normally do. I've just not been able to eat in the quantity I would normally, which I'm not terribly upset by.

Trying to fit in as much protein as I can, but I definitely ate Raisin Bran for both breakfast and dinner. It’s the only thing that sounded good.....that I didn’t have to cook.

I want that now. With really cold milk. 

izmom28

We had Chinese food at work today, and I ate WAAAY too much. But I’m really not hungry the last 2 weeks or so. It’s odd 

mrslittlemac

Have no appetite, but I did make some waffles with bacon yesterday when bacon and maple syrup sounded like an amazing combo. It wasn't as amazing as I expected it to be, but still good. Otherwise, peanut butter sandwiches and yams are my jam. Not together, but yeah. 

neeraja_k

Yesss! I bought some sweet potatoes and baked them the other night, so freaking good!  I didn't even miss the chicken I declared gross on the first bite.

About the only protein I can have is peanut butter, so there's been a lot of PB&J. Most protein sources other than ham or fish sounds gross, I'm bored of hot ham and cheese sandwiches, and I should try to limit my fish intake.  

boymom4eva

I ate pizza for both lunch and dinner yesterday. It wasn't planned but it was a wonderful accident. I have a huge sweets aversion all of a sudden which I suppose is good considering my house is full of cookies right now and all I want to eat is meat and pizza. 

ashleyandjody

Today the school catered fried catfish and I almost had to run out of the room from the smell. I'm mainly surviving on peanut butter and toast. 

lalala2004

I’m laying on the couch while my son feeds me wheat thins. Calories don’t count if you aren’t putting the food in your own mouth, right?

junabugtunabug

 We ordered Jules at work. Omg why don't I eat this every day? 

Oh yeah, because I already look 4 months pregnant at 5 weeks. 

7425cait

^what's Jules? 

I had a frozen burrito today that made me the happiest person in the world.

 Super thin crust, uber fancy pizza. It's got all kinds of weird gourmet toppings. I had 1 with artichoke hearts, goat cheese, arugula, tomatoes, oregano, and mozzarella.

boymom4eva

I'm super ragey with uber eats right now. I just ordered a kids hot dog meal with fries and an appetizer of onion rings for $17. I received a cold hot dog and 4 onion rings. They better refund me!!!

@junabugtunabug the Cloth diaper mom in me was like "why would they order diapers and how did they get so many Jules??"  (Cotton Babies Jules for sposie parents lol)

 Jules was my unicorn and I never got one

I don’t have any must-haves right now and am feeling ok. :knock on wood: 
when at the store, I strolled by a gallon of chocolate milk and almost grabbed it. I remember downing 4 glasses a day with my others. But I’m only 5w

jsnakehole

I just ate leftover onion dip and chips from my party last night. At 10 AM. In bed.

I would kills for some Taco Bell right now.

No cravings yet, really. Last week I ate a bunch of sweets at work (and managed to lose 1/2 a pound?) but this week, sweets don't sound good at all. I get kind of queasy if I go too long without food, so I snack on saltines or something. I've had an urge to make everything I eat spicy - with loads of sriracha or hot sauce, but I don't know if that's a craving or not - I tend to like spicey food anyways.

Stuck in the box!

My first pregnancy, I drank chocolate milk with sriracha in it and I thought it was the best thing in the world.

lalala2004

I all of a sudden just want to drink melted butter. WTF?
