What my pregnant self is eating - February

Re: What my pregnant self is eating - February

  • Spicy salmon sounds amazing @kboydbowman

    I am craving pizzas & pastas. Anything carby. Also loving ginger beers at the moment. 

    Things that sounds not so nice is literally anything else. I finally got some ondansetron though which has been helping and I finally have an appetite! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

    I read an interesting article that says we get morning sickness and food aversions as a protection mechanism when our babies are most at risk of chemical influences on development (6-18 weeks). Meat & eggs are naturally more at risk of carrying disease that vegetables so that’s why we have the most aversions to them. In cultures where they are mostly vegetarian the rate of morning sickness is much, much lower. So interesting! I will have to try and find the article again.

  • I don't drink normally. I think the last time I drank was my honeymoon 4.5 years ago because I've either been pregnant or breastfeeding, while I know there's info out there saying bfing it's fine and in pregnancy it could be ok, I'm just not comfortable with it. But my brother and his partner had a couple bottles of wine last night, and it smelled so good. 
  • I have been obsessed with captain crunch!!!!
  • Dang it @momsdm Now I need captain crunch!!!!
  • Cocoa Krispies are my cereal drug of choice.

  • Tonight the boy is napping and I have minimal energy to cook, but I feel I need protein and veggies.  My "this is easy and mostly qualifies" is that I am having spinach w/butter, salt, pepper, and fresh garlic...and some Totino's pizza rolls.

  • The boy person has agreed to lace some protein powder into pancake mix and make me protein pancakes.  Therefore, they are 100% healthy.  Yes/yes?

  • I had leftover penne from Applebee’s for breakfast and it was amazing. I made banana pudding yesterday so I have some of that left also.

    Oh man. Banana pudding or the dish with vanilla wafers and everything? Because that sounds amazing... 🤤

  • Craving allll the Asian food.. sushi for lunch yesterday, shrimp fried rice for dinner, and now pad Thai for lunch today 😅
  • Thai is really hit or miss for me right now - it's either "yaaaaaaaas queen" or "GET THAT AWAY FROM ME NOW"

  • My mom dropped off a homemade chocolate peanut butter cake on my front porch this morning for an early Valentine’s present and it is my favorite and I am beyond thrilled! 
  • @trapperkeeper87 I only had the pudding and the vanilla wafers. So not the complete dessert, but enough lol.

    I'm still going to call that a win in my book. Yum!

  • @theblondebump yum! Chocolate and peanut butter is my favorite! So jealous. 
  • I was going to go do my 1 hour glucose test today and then my mom dropped off a cake lol I was like …k I guess I will wait a few days 😆 
  • edited February 2022
    Haha I am the same way! The first few weeks I was eating so clean, my normal diet. Now everything except for ice cold smoothies turns my stomach….apart from yesterday…I ate an entire bag of cereal and a frozen pizza🤦‍♀️
  • Yesterday I was craving peanut butter so bad and then today, I made peanut butter toast for my son and almost threw up. I literally had to go in the backyard to get away from the smell. Lol.

  • I start my day with a protein shake but for lunch I am really digging toasted french bread with avacado, garlic powder, salt, sardines ( heated up till steaming of course) and a squeeze of lemon.  It looks gross but hits all the spots!
  • I’ve had quite the desire for tuna with eel sauce this week and I’ve indulged twice. We live in a community where raw fish probably accounts for 75% of some of the women’s diets, even during pregnancy. My husband catches it and prepares it so it’s helped ease my mind.
  • Me: I’m sick 
    DH: you’re not sick. You ate too many pretzels. Get some self control.

    haha damn! He’s not wrong but harsh!! 
  • @costaricamom I will be eating sushi during this pregnancy, just staying away from high mercury fishes.  Tuna is usually on the list of "high mercury" fishes, but salmon isn't!  Maybe salmon with eel sauce!

  • @theblondebump my husband tried to tell me I was a hypochriac because I asked him to dump a pot of soup for me because the smell of it was making me gag. The same man who had to pull over 3 times my laat pregnancy to let me barf during a drive to the doctors office... Yup all in my head. 
  • @kboydbowman I had sushi last night for dinner and it's definitely because of you talking about it being okay to eat. 😂 I had a baked salmon roll and enjoyed every single bite. Plus it helps that my son LOVES sushi so it's a really good meal for when I want him to actually eat his dinner.

  • Found my first food offender yesterday- red onions. Had some sliced for a pita and stored in a container in my lunch bag and I physically gagged when I opened just the bag and could smell a hint! Then of course in my produce box delivery today, 3 huge red onions 🙄 
  • I'm on cherry/blackberry this week too. :)

  • @kboydbowman wooo!! :) I’m not going to lie, the FIRST thing I do every day is look at what my baby’s size is compared to that day hahaha 
  • Same.  I mostly use the internet version, but I open the app on my phone at least once a day for the rando fact of the day.  Today we are at "postage stamp."

  • @kboydbowman luckily the tuna here are not on the high list. We have smaller yellowfin caught inshore so they would be relative to a skipjack, not a bluefin which have a much longer lifespan. No fresh salmon around here but hopefully I’ll get my hands on some Mahi Mahi and snapper soon!
  • @costaricamom Too bad Wahoo is high in Mercury...my favorite! You should be coming into dolphin and red snapper season there, right? I'll have to give you my recipe for red snapper!
  • @dandou that looks amazing! Do you heat the sardines in the microwave?
  • @costaricamom jelly!  Tuna and salmon are my favorites, so I miss the tuna.

    Also, @whitta1015 please tell me you don't eat dolphins?????

  • @lalarose22
    I have vivid memories from previous pregnancies crying over wanting Pad Thai so badly. It might happen this time too! 
  • Cucumbers are amazing. That is all.

  • @komamommy hahaha I love it! I definitely cried over wanting chicken tenders last pregnancy.
