3rd Trimester

Has anyone else eaten crappy the whole pregnancy?

I feel so guilty I have not eaten all that healthy throughout my pregnancy. I mean I have eaten alot of fruits and veggies and well balanced meals but I have bad for me meals at least 3 times a week. I have eaten an excessive amount of candy in the past 3 weeks. Luckily, I am 33 weeks along and have only gained a total of 17lbs. I'm just worried that this crappy eating is going to catch up to me or be bad for the baby. It sucks when all you crave is pizza and peanut butter cups.

Arghhhh!!!

Am I alone?

Re: Has anyone else eaten crappy the whole pregnancy?

  • I've definitely not eaten very healthy this whole pregnancy, but unlike you, I've put on 35 pounds, not 17!  I try not to stress about it but I've had the same thoughts you've had about it and hope that it didn't cause any harm.

  • Me. I've eaten crap and I'm not sure if it's because I'm too tired to make real food, or just that is doesn't sound appealing. Either way, it's been pretty consistently crappy.
  • i would say 75% of the time i have just eaten junk.  and my weight gain in the past 6 weeks has increased substantially!

    ?I definitely could have done better, but my sweet tooth has gotten the best of me so many times. I've gained 30 pounds!!?

  • Nope your not alone.  Plus iam not a veggie eater and fruits well same story.

     Do i feel bad about it? sure what such is life.

  • Well you are already a horrible mom!  Don't yoou care about your DC at all??  I bet you eat hot dogs and lunch meat and dye your hair too. 

    Whatever, I've been eating oatmeal cookies, PB and apples, and milk for the past 2+ weeks.  It's the only thing that won't give me acid reflux or heartburn. 

  • I've eaten super crappy as my baby retaliates when I make healthy food choices. I'm not worried though. I take my pre-natals and DHA and my doctor is very pleased with my weight gain so far.
  • Your bar for 'eating crappy' seems pretty low. 'Bad for me' meals 3 times a week? So you eat crappy if you have pizza for dinner one night, a cinnamon roll for breakfast another day, and a restaurant lunch a third day? The rest of the time you are eating 'healthy' food? And you've gained 17 lbs? You have much higher standards than I do, apparently.

  • I eat pretty terrible. I feel bad about it and try to pack myself healthy snacks but other food is always around and thats what i end up eating.

     AGGGHHH!! I am a horrible mom!!! My kid is going to come out w/ 2 heads.

  • i am almost sure my child is going to be addicted to dr pepper, chips, pizza, french fries, and ice cream when it comes out.

    but, for the longest time vegetables were hard to even look at.  i did pretty well on fruit and let's see most food gives me indigestion so i just eat what i can get down.

     i think we will all be ok and so will our children.

  • Overall, my eating hasn't been so bad, but in the 3rd tri, I've had more chocolate then my entire lifetime before being pg. I never even cared for chocolate other then when I had my period once a month, so this has been insane.

    I agree! 3 times a WEEK is all you eat that is bad?!?!?! Doesn't even count!
