who hates eating vegetables?

even before pg i had a hard time eating most veggies.

the only ones i could stomach were corn, brocc, peas and tomatoes or cauliflower.

i ate veggies on rare occasions (same with lots of fruit other than bananas) but now I have tremendous guilt that I am depriving the LO of his nutrients.

Thankfully, I bought some cans of V8 veggie juice and can drink those down quickly.  The sodium content isn't the best but it's the only thing I can do right now.

I dont mind actually eating the vegetables, but they just never sound good! Once I make the decision to eat them though I like them.

I do V8, too, just so he's getting some veggies on the days I don't have any.

yah, my poor baby is going to want powdered sugar cream doughnuts and ice cream all the time thanks to his momma's sweet tooth.

What about salad? During 1st tri most cooked veggies were awful for me, but I could eat salads anytime.

I sneak them in. They have to be cooked or they come right back up. (This is a pg thing.)

For example, I stir in a little baby spinach w/ my scrambled eggs. I do chunks of onion in with my roasted potatoes. Right now we are griling a lot of veggies which is nice.

Didn't Jerry Seinfeld's wife (or someone) just come out with a cook book for all sorts of things you can sneak veggies in to like pureed squash in brownies. I think the idea was to get more veggies in your kid's diet but it sounds like it might work for us as well.

Try the V-8 Fusion juice.  Has a full serving of veggies and fruits in each glass.

I seemed to have an aversion to veggies this pregnancy. I have also felt guilty because I used to at least be able to stomach and eat them for dinner. I have been loading up a ton on fruits. My DH had suggested V8 to me, that's not a bad idea. I actually discovered that I can handle raw veggies (never ate them before, only cooked and steamed.) So, I've been doing that and dipping them in ranch dressing.?

If you're good with salad, what I've been doing is prepping salad veggies every Sunday and putting them in Tupperware. That way all I have to do to make a salad is throw pre-chopped veggies in a bowl and pour some dressing on. It's been so much easier to salad on the weeknights when I'm too tired to do much for dinner.

same here. I have to get the skillet pre-made stuff just so I get the veggies intake because  most of the time I just eat anything cereal related.

::raises hand:: That describes me perfectly! I hated veggies before getting pregnant and that hasn't changed... V8 here I come!
