in March 2018 Moms
Most of us are living on small frequent snacks throughout the day to curb sickness, cravings, or insatiable hunger.

So, what has your pregnant self been eating? What are your small frequent snacks consisting of?   Any particularly healthy options or ideas you'd like to share?

    I agree with the bagels! I can't get enough of cream cheese at the moment! I have been sucking on lemon drops all day long to keep the nausea at bay. I had just some wonton soup for lunch today and the broth made me feel so much better! Soups and liquids are my main go-to. Lately the texture of solid foods has been making me gag more. So soft foods and liquids. Cold things, too. Frozen fruit, popsicles, ice chips. YUM!

    Still trying to find something I can actually stomach on the regular. So far I can eat something one day and be ok, go to eat it the next day and just the smell turns my stomach. I'm so hungry, but can't seem to find anything that my body will actually accept as something good. Thankfully I can stomach water which helps, while I'm drinking it lol

    Ugh, random stuff. Whatever I crave which isn't always healthy. Otherwise nothing at all because I'm too nauseated.  :/ Mornings usually cereal or a bagel. Lunch and dinner are definitely hit or miss.

    @chasingroygbiv Cereal sounds delicious right now! But I know I'd buy the sugary stuff if I went to the store for cereal. Mmmm captain crunch

    Parmesan cheese flavored lentil chips is what's up right now.  I just finished the whole bag and I'm really sad there aren't any more left.

    Granola, hot fries, potato chips, cheez-it grooves the hot and spicy kind. Anything spicy really. I think I'm gonna have a wild child. My last two pregnancies anything spicy would make me sick.

    All the fresh-tasting in season fruit-vegetables I developed an aversion to last time to get them in before the aversions hit. Dinner tonight is chicken with rice and sautéed bell peppers, zucchini, and squash.

    Pringles sour cream and onion chips right now. This morning for breakfast was teriyaki noodles. I want pizza. And I feel the best whenever I just sit down with a plate of fresh fruits and veggies. Mints are life and the only way I am getting through the nausea. I want caffeine but the blip says nope. :neutral:

    Cereal and almonds. I ate so much cereal during my last pregnancy. This one is no different so far. Luckily, I usually crave less sugar cereals. I have a second dinner shortly before bed every night and it's always cereal.

    Trying to stomach eggs in the morning because with my DD I gained 45 pounds from eating bagels every morning  :D. For lunch I usually eat salad with some protein and an afternoon snack I have a peanut butter banana shake then for dinner we do sun basket meals which are mostly healthy meals like last night we had turkey lettuce wraps they actually were pretty good. On days we don't do sun basket we usually grill out, I cook something healthy or we eat out lol

    I'm back to apples. They don't make me as nauseous. Bagels with CREAM CHEESE!!!! are a necessary evil lol @jeanbean15

    Peanut butter is good right now too! I suck on jolly ranchers throughout the day to keep that nasty taste out of my mouth. Water is slowing becoming the enemy but nothing else liquid sounds good to drink. Not even chocolate milk anymore, which I LOVE!!!

    This baby seems to only want healthy food. So lots of fruit, veggies, and salad! I can stomach cooked meat but the smell of it in the cooking process makes me sick. Which is rough since I'm the chef in the house, and love cooking! I had a bit of a fast food addiction pre-pregnancy, so it seems like maybe this baby will help me turn a new leaf and stop craving it so much! I can't even do soda! Carbs make me sick. I think my stomach is just really sensitive right now and anything too heavy is a no-go. My husband is military and we try to maintain a low-carb diet anyway so this isn't a bad thing. 

    Its so odd, with my daughter, I ate sweets CONSTANTLY even though pre-pregnancy I hated anything sweet. I'm wondering if this one is a boy since the cravings are so different.  :D

    I have celiac which is super unfortunate because my children do not (not the unfortunate part!) and they eat all kinds of delicious smelling food like chicken nuggets and fruit loops that I would love to eat! Favorite snacks these days are pickles (such a cliche), popcorn, and apples.

    I made some banana bread with chocolate chips the other day and I'm finishing off the loaf right now.

    I'm having a tough time staying away from ice cream, but that's not unique to pregnancy.

    I know I need to start eating better because between work and taking care of DD I don't eat/drink much until dinner usually, except coffee. I've cut down on the coffee and I bought a 32 ounce water bottle to take with me everywhere and remind me to drink more. I love a good string cheese or cup of cheez-its for snacking. On yesterday's grocery store trip I bought ingredients to make overnight oats for quick, healthy breakfasts, and a bunch of salad bags for lunch. also stocked up on different fruit for both DD and I. Hubs and I both want to eat healthier so we're focusing on lean meats and veggies, with the occasional night of pizza or pasta.

    Egg bagels with cream cheese. I ate them the whole time I was pregnant with DD too.

    Finally was able to stomach some buttered bread and a handful of waffle fries.

    everyday though my nausea is worse than the day before. I'm somewhere between 6-7 weeks and had the doc call in a script for zofran today. I really need some food! 300-450 calories a day just isn't cutting it!

    Carbs. All of the carbs. I'm another bagel fan, plus I've been loving cereal, popcorn, avocado toast, and pasta.

    @crossfitbabybump my mouth is watering thinking of jolly ranchers!! I'm going to need to get some tomorrow!!! 

    Our pantry is in a sad state after the move and I haven't had much for breakfast lately and I really need to eat throughout the day! So today I picked up strawberries, grapes, blueberries, and apples and I'm going to cut them all up and combine he juice from an orange and a lemon and some honey and mix it all up!! It's my favorite because it's in the fridge for snacking all day long and it lasts several days!! Normally I add poppyseeds too but the internet seems to be unsure about those while pregnant so I'll just skip them :) 

    This will probably all rot in my fridge while I'm eating all the bagels! I love the jalapeño and cheddar bagel from Einstein Bros (which is at the end of my gym parking lot... WTF!) ... so yummy!

    I bought bagels and cream cheese today. I'm going to try to limit to just half a bagel per day. We'll see how well that goes...

    Woke up early today STARVING (even though I had a snack at 9pm lol) so up early trying to stomach some cream of wheat and plain cheerios. I've been living on original (blue bag) goldfish, but getting really tired of them!

    The only things I can seem to keep down are fresh fruit, steamed veggies, and McDonald's chicken nuggets for whatever reason.
