Re: Baby ?
I highly recommend reading the sticky posts at the top. There is one about how the board works and then one for introductions. Be sure to post your information there.
As for what to eat, my diet is staying the same as pregnancy for now. I switched to a low carb/high protein "diet" and then got my BFP after months of trying. I eat a lot of veggies (spinach, broccoli, carrots, etc) because not only are they healthy, they have folate naturally in them. I also eat a variety of meats (salmon once a week, turkey burgers, and chicken). That's my plan for this pregnancy.
When I was pregnant with DS, I gained 50 pounds and I'm wanting to avoid that this time. I basically started eating everything because "hey, I'm eating for 2!" I'm not going down that hole this time!
Definitely take some time to read the pinned posts as well as the pages of threads already posted which include pregnant after loss and many food threads.
Some power foods are: avacados, nuts, cheese, sweet potatoes, salmon, banannas, and whole grains (oatmeal and cereal).
Watch out for broccoli and beans as they can cause extra gas on top of those common discomforts.
Also if you use salt in your food make sure it iodozed. That is also an essential nutrient for baby
