I hate feeling like I'm hungry yet also nauseous at the same time. Like I feel like there's something I could eat that would make me feel better but I don't know what it is.
@becausescience we love to make cauliflower cilantro lime "rice" - tastes like Chipotle's rice, but instead we make it with cauliflower. It's delicious!
Just recently (this last week) have been craving strawberry milkshakes. It's weird to me because I've always considered myself milk intolerant as anything more than a yogurt is bad news.. but I've been drinking these milkshakes down and no negative effects on my bowels! Baby likes dairy! Lol

I'm horribly lactose intolerant and while pregnant last time I would do regular dairy. It was amazing!
Ugh my stomachs been on the fritz lately, but I really want to get a spicy crispy chicken wrap for lunch... I know I'd probably regret it later, but what's a pregnant girl to do?!?

Get the wrap. Please. And then come back and tell us how amazing it was.
Obviously had a bagel for dinner because that's my life lately but I grilled it and it was HEAVEN. Also side of big fresh green grapes! Now it's 3am and I'm eating a granola bar in bed bc I'm starving and trying to figure out how to go back to bed before DS wakes me up at 530 and then I'm suppose to work a full day. Being sick and pregnant is a full time job not to mention actual work and chasing a toddler! Can't we all just eat snacks in bed all day long?!

This. Exactly how I feel. Then when I find something that sounds even remotely tolerable, after 3 bites I'm so nauseous. But then still hungry!
Can't say I always *enjoy* it, but I've been at least tolerating (read: force-feeding myself) organic whole milk yogurt + chia + handful of nuts and dried fruit + fresh fruit for breakfast most days. I feel like it sets me up for a decent GI/energy day better than carby stuff, esp before a 12 hr nursing shift
Otherwise: I've had a couple of heavenly BLTs (well-cooked) with TONS OF MAYO and garden tomatoes ... and my husband cooking Trader Joe's ravioli or rice&beans is my lifeline.
My nausea hasn't been terrible if I I healthy-snack regularly, but I can't stand mint-anything half the time (so brushing teeth is fun).
@orbmaker I was that way with my last pregnancy! I'd brush my teeth and dry heave the whole time because of the toothpaste. And half the time I'd throw up less than an hour later and have to brush my teeth again. Repeat, all day, every day.
All I've been eating is burritos and tacos.... I'm missing the delicious, fresh vegetables I used to make every night with dinner.... but I've had no energy after work + nausea which means getting chipotle....
I saw a post about pumpkin something or other on Instagram and now I can't stop searching for fall dessert recipes on Pinterest. Pecan pie cheesecake is in my near future.
Watermelon with lime squeezed over it. It is so refreshing, and able to satisfy me wanting something tart and sweet at the same time.

@ivfgotthistwice I thought gingerale world be my savior but instead I have had 24 cans sitting on the counter for 2 weeks. can't stand the stuff right now. too sweet
Give me allllll the tomato based foods. Spaghetti with sauce, today I had hamburger soup for lunch and it was ah-mazing!!!! I see chicken Parmesan in my near future.
@bb3vj3n If you can find them wherever you are there are some hippie-ish lower sugar brands of ginger ale that aren't nearly as sweet as the more mainstream brands. Some are hard to find though.
AFM I was having a really healthy fruit and oatmeal day until I found that magical kit kat bar...
I just ordered a tuna wrap.... my last pregnancy my OB told me one can or less per week was fine. I've been craving it big time, so I figured that one wrap won't hurt me/babies! Now if only the delivery would hurry up!!!
I'm having a really hard time because now, I'm not wanting to eat anything. Everything makes me low - grade (or more) nauseous. Having a rough day... stayed home from work. Support people don't know what to do with me. I don't want to lose anymore weight. Terrible day today (terrible night last night).

Breakfasts I do yogurt or oatmeal with some sort of fruit or a hard boiled egg with avocado.
Lunches are typically a salad, or bell peppers with hummus and Applegate turkey slices.
I love to cook and have been making lots of SkinnyTaste recipes for dinner. Favorites are the Grilled Chicken Bruchetta and the shrimp taquitos (SO GOOD!). I love making grilled chicken thighs with various side salads (Skinnytaste Southwestern Black bean salad is also delicious!) or just a simple tomato and avocado salad.
Last night I made Chicken Broccoli Ziti though and it was amazing. I needed pasta.
Right before I got pregnant I started drinking one cup of soy milk per day. Bloodwork I had done with my RE showed that my estrogen was on the lower end, and I've heard from several sources that drinking soy can naturally increase estrogen. I got KU within a few weeks of doing this. It may be just a coincidence, but I'm going to go with it because I swear I could feel my body responding to it. A cup of vanilla soy is perfect for me to stomach in the morning heading out the door to work and holds me over until I get settled with my real breakfast.

Hugs @ishmoney, I'm with you on the nausea and clueless support people. Just focus on getting through these days. I keep saying to myself "I don't think I can do this again." But in the scheme of things, this is temporary and shall too, pass.
@ishmoney I'm so sorry you are having a rough time and are lacking support and understanding. Hugs. If anything even remotely sounds good, no matter how improbable it seems as far as making you nauseous. Like even though tacos sound like they could be too spicy and cause heartburn, if I just eat it anyway, I usually feel less nauseous. Hopefully something sounds good to you soon.
Thank you @isntthatspeshul and @mdfarmchick. I have a delivery of crab salad and two slices of pizza coming at some point from the SO. I don't know what that'll be like. Everything smells so bad. I WISH I COULD MUSTER THE DESIRE TO EAT WHATEVER EVERYONE ELSE IS EATING!! I really want a craving.

@crossfitbabybump, my two downfalls are that DS is unbelievably messy and I don't want to give him a bath every night, and spaghetti is the ONLY food my DH doesn't like. Ugh.
@crossfitbabybump, right?! I can't even get mad at him because I'm a super picky eater and he will literally eat anything I make for him. Except spaghetti. And even that he'll eat it every once in a while. But if I start making it more than once a month, he won't be pleased.
Re: What My Pregnant Self Is Eating 7/20
Maybe fries.
byt right now (granted it's 8am) fries sound super yuck.
