Diet

[l_maclean]

Im just passed the 7weeks mark - and feeling really sick all the time - tried everything I can think of - got sickness bands on, been sucking boiled sweets, ginger tea.

Im just a little worried about bump getting what it needs. When I first found out i was pg i forced myself to drink milk (which i hate) - but now can barely get in the kitchen. When i decide i want something to eat it tends to be junk, like burger or pizza or super noodles - not stuff i normally eat much of.

Was on night shift last night - and today all i have eaten is 2 boiled eggs - and the thought of actually having to eat tea is already making me feel ill.

I know i should be aiming for a balanced diet - but its just not happening just now.

Dont worry I am just coming up to 7 weeks, and I started to feel the same, and I am getting really annoyed with people as well, and it's totally not there fault.

From what I have read, it's quite normal for one week to be totally off food, and then next week all you will want to do is eat. As long as you are eating something, and drinking I am sure your body is telling you the right thing.

The constant nausea is dreadful I know how you feel!!

I'm a veggie and normally have a super healthy diet, lots of fresh fruit and veg, pasta etc..............haven't touched any of that for the last 7 weeks!!!

My tastes change daily, one day I can eat pizza, the next no way!!! Making meals makes me feel so ill and the smell of garlic or onions is enough to have me heaving!!

My staples have been Special K for breakfast (lots of - not a just a piddly handful that gets you into the red dress!) with lashings of milk, jacket spuds and *oh the shame* Pot Noodles!!!! I have been eating some tinned fruit as I find fresh fruit repulsive except bananas and grapes!

Oh and cheese..........I think I may now have shares in Pilgrims Choice!!!

All I can drink is weak lemon squash or elderflower cordial with sparkling water. Desperate for a pint of bitter or guiness though!!!

I can't have any fresh fruit or veg any more... Makes me sicker than anything in no time.

Cheese and crackers and cereal for me.

Don't worry about the baby, in 1st tri it takes everything it needs straight from you, so it will be fine its your body that suffers if your not getting enough nutrients!!! I barely ate anything 1st 4 months as had hypremisis and touch wood my baby is a normal weight and size, but I had to take calcium tablets as he'd leached it out of me!! Main thing is making sure your hydrated as dehydration can be bad for you and the baby, hope you feel better soon

I wouldn't worry too much hun just eat what you can and hopefully you can make up for it when the sickness eases off. Also would take something like pregnacare so you're getting all your vitamins.

I've just have to eat what I can, which usually isn't very nutritional, as like Cazza one day something is good, the other it totally doesn't agree with me!

I've been like littlemuffin as well with some people. Lol.

Hope the sickness eases off soon. I'm still sick, but the nausea is not as constant. I know its tough going but will be worth it.

Thanks everyone - thats really good to know, that everyone else is kinda the same.

Good to hear about the mood swings as well - OH says im a complete B**ch at the moment. If he would just stop annoying me. lol.


I am taking vitamins so at least theres that, uess I'll just stick with what i want.

Did a bit better today - but that prob cos OH just put dinner in front of me - and i kinda felt obliged to eat it seeing as he never cooks.
