This is my first pregnancy and I'm having a REALLY hard time eating food that's good for me!

After the m/s passes will I be interested in vegetables and fruits again????

I never was. Embarrassed I had to forse myself to eat right, and I know it will be the same this time will be just as bad.

Your eating habits should go back to normal in 2nd tri. You'll just want MORE of whatever you wanted before.

My eating went back to normal after 1st tri. I still had some cravings for sweets and things, but it was much better than it had been.

BabyBebe1 · September 2010

Mine never did. I was turned off by veggies and oddly enough, chicken, my entire pregnancy last time. I ate so many carbs, it was nuts. But I tried my best to not give in to total junk and I gained about average, 30 or so pounds.

I am having to force myself to eat healthy. I didn't want anything good for me last pregnancy and I ended up on bedrest with pre-eclampsia. I don't want that to happen this time, so I am keeping up with my exercise, eating right, blah blah blah. Have you tried drinking on the of the V-8 drinks that supposedly give you a serving of fruits and veggies? Maybe that would be easier for you? Feel better soon!

While I never craved healthy foods during any of my pregnancies, I was able to eat them again no problem after the 1st tri.

I actually didn't have "cravings" with my first son... I had a lot of aversions but this time is the complete opposite. I'm eating junk. I have faith it will go back to normal soon. For now, eat anything you can just to get something down. I find fruits are easier to eat than veggies.

With my first I wanted nothing to do with any veggies. Fruits I was OK with...but veggies made me gag every time. This didn't stop after 1st tri, but I think it did eventually subside close to 35 weeks.

This time it's the same thing, but I've figured out I can tolerate caesar salads and cucumbers and am having TONS of those for now. That's along with all of the junk food and carbs I've been craving.

sakura · September 2010

I don't ever remember craving veggies or fruit, but I don't even not pg! BUT, I included them in my diet as I usually do. I remember not craving sweets 1st tri, which is waaaaay bizarre for me. The thing I craved was anyting starchy, mainly potato dishes!!!

I just wanted to share that I was told not to drink V-8 unless it's the low sodium kind. We are already going to have issues retaining water and regular V-8 has over half your daily dose of sodium which could lead to extra bloating/swelling if you consume too much. I was bummed too because I bought some and I actually like the taste of it.

Be careful with the Caesar dressing - raw eggs... I was told to completely avoid it when I was pg with DS.

I'm having to eat very small portions of food or I get sick as all get out. And if I have too much sweet stuff I get gaggy. Other than that, not too much horrible stuff so far. With DS I could only eat salads and baked potatoes in the 1st tri. Then I ate like a cow and went on to gain 46#!!! I'm really trying NOT to do that this time!

ymmas911 · September 2010

I never had a good diet to begin with, so trying to eat better in 1st tri is absurdly difficult.

I made pot roast for dinner last night with carrots and red potatoes. The carrots tasted like they had been soaked in sugar water for a year before i threw them in my slow cooker! I could NOT believe how sweet they tasted. I am a big sweets fan, but I could barely choke down 5 pieces of these things!

MaybeBaby2 · September 2010

After my M/S (mainly nausea, never vomited) was done with, I went back to eating normal.
