All I want is a mixing bowl full of cereal for every meal everyday With a side of raspberries or strawberries I’m drooling thinking about it and I just ate dinner.
Give me all the fruit and veggies. It's the only thing that doesn't taste like garbage. I've spent an obscene amount on produce for two people every week for the last three weeks. But I'm down a half a pound from pre-pregnancy due to my fruititarianism. Oops.
Im a crier while pregnant and I totally cried today because I saw a baby picture of myself in the NICU and I cried because that must have been hard in parents (I’ve worked in NICUs and with premies lol i know know why it hit me today)
@KFrob same! bread is my best friend...not the best for my weight but that's the only thing I feel good from.
I'm trying to eat a bit of everything but admittedly can do more on the veggie front. Also, I somehow manage to continuously stumble upon sad stories on IG, sad gofund me pages, loss stories, etc. I know I should turn them off, but I keep reading and sobbing. Somehow I always imagine myself in that situation and sob even harder.

Someone needs to inform my body that I only need an extra 350 calories a day. I have now added a second breakfast and a second dinner. And now that my appetite is coming back I want real food, like a sit down dinner, at each meal.
I feel the hunger and the need to eat every few hours throughout the day, until dinner time rolls around. Then I can't look at food. My husband was listing out any and all possible options for us to have for dinner last night and the sound of anything he mentioned made me want to throw up. I just laid in bed and had crackers. But breakfast/lunch, give me all the carbs.

Bagged salad, carryout, and frozen pizza. My sister's pregnant too, losing weight because of her morning sickness and I'm gaining because of exhaustion and depression.
I' ve actually been wondering. We're warned away from lunchmeat and cold meats because of listeria, but most listeria outbreaks in the US come from bagged salad. Why aren't we warned away from those?
@mauvelousone sprouts, bagged salad, romaine lettuce. Listeria & E. coli run rampant in those but OBs don’t say a peep. I eat what I want during pregnancy (maybe this should be my FFFC or my unpopular opinion) but I’ve never gotten sick eating sushi at my local restaurant I’m not worried about getting sick now. I don’t drink alcohol, smoke, do drugs, or take Advil. I’m not giving up sushi. Not to mention deli cheeses are also sliced on the same slicers as the meat so if we’re worried about the bacteria we shouldn’t be eating that either…
@mauvelousone my doctor has told me in the past not to worry about lunch meat. She said she’s not going to tell me not to each spinach, romaine, or ice cream, so why would she tell me not to each lunch meat.
Re: Why is my pregnant self crying/ Food cravings December
and Parmesan and kale chips. I didn’t even go for kale prior to being pregnant.
and boxed macaroni and cheese !
As for food cravings.. Yeah, I've been wanting fruits, yogurt and Vegemite (on toast or sandwich) mostly.

I've been living off of oatmeal, grilled cheese, and sugar. 😣
