What to eat..drink..do!!??!
Hello, me and my DH just found out we are pregnant! (HPT) (4 tests, all positive)
Have a blood test on thursday to confirm then a doctors appt.
Wow, i never would of thought i was going to be on this board!
Anyways, now ....a question, what do i eat???? I'm scared certain things will harm my little bean.
I heard pomegranate juice helps strengthen the uterus , anyone else hear this?
I have been drinking ensure, to get the right amount of nutrients right off the bat and tons of water.
Can anyone help me with this food and drink thing?? Im new at this! lol

Re: What to eat..drink..do!!??!
This is my second pregnancy, so I am a lot more relaxed about it than the first time around. Really, just eat what common sense tells you to. Eat healthy, avoid too much caffeine and no alcohol of course. Drink lots of water and get more fruit into your diet (the fiber is good pregnant or not). I would personally lay off of the Ensure. Think about it, if you area eating a healhy and well-balanced diet - why would you need a supplement? All you are going to do is end up consuming way too many calories and potentially gain more weight than you need to, which is not good for baby or you. Just eat healthy and you will be fine
I would suggest getting a book on pregnancy just to ease your mind.
Thank you everyone!!!
You ladies are the first ones Ive told!!! Feels good.
Dont plan on telling anyone till second trimester
I have been eating healthy and exercising a bit for months now. I take Materna and folic acid...and calcium.lol. Getting a book would defiantly ease my mind.:)
Lets hope this little bean sticks!
Make a pregnancy ticker
Congrats and good luck, Angel!

Don't make pregnancy more complicated then it has to be. Eat healthy, avoid alcohol, and take your prenatal vitamin. You and your baby will be fine. Here is a link to dietary advice in pregnancy. Hope that helps and congratulations!
