I wish I could be more nutritious

I am normally a very healthy eater and exercise each day, but it is becoming more and more difficult to maintain a healthy diet.  Sometimes I don't have the energy to do more than just go to work, so I have accepted this and hope I can get back into some kind of routine after the 1st trimester.  But the eating part is annoying me.  Lately it's only bagels, crackers, pizza, etc. that I can keep down or that will help with the constant nauseous feeling.  My diet feels so unbalanced and I don't want to gain the wrong kind of weight.  I want to provide a nutritious diet for my babies.  I know I'm being unnecessarily obsessive, but it still bothers me.  I think I might just have to accept the fact that the next few weeks might be filled with oatmeal and mac and cheese....

    Have you tried snacking on fruit or veggies?

    If you try to eat an apple, or an orange or any type of fruit once a day you should be fine.  Or even veggies. Have you tried snacking on carrots or celery or dipping them into something?

    I don't think it's bad to eat pizza and crackers and bagels but the best is if you can get some fiber and other nutrients from fresh fruit and veggies.

    I am the same way! I am so sick all the time that the only thing I can really stomach is carbs and lemonade... I am drinking my water and milk as much as I can and I am trying to eat fruit and veggies at least once, but sometimes I just can't do it.  I'm with you though... I really home that after the first trimester is over that I will be able to get back to some sort of normal diet.

    Hi there,

    I am the same way, My husband and I were very worried that the baby wasn't getting enough to eat as I just couldn't eat and would have to do with crackers or something light, I then began to start just eating a bit of fruit like half an apple or some grapes just small amounts and week by week started eating more.  Maybe this will work?  I am now in my 2nd trimester and still have the sick feeling here and there but I find if I do eat alot of fruits and veggies it helps but I still do not have any energy for anything enough energy to go to work and thats it hopefully that comes back soon.

    I hope you feel better soon.

    I know exactly how you feel. I work 5pm-1am, EST so I sleep a lot during the day. My eating schedule is crazy! As you said, lately it's been bagels, muffins and oatmeal. Last night for dinner I had cheese pizza. I'm a big girl before getting pregnant anyways, and I've struggled for years to lose weight. Well that plan has gone right out the window.
