uea im fighting with my husband about food

[britbear07]

Yea so I'm 9 weeks, I crave something different everyday. It's so bad that I don't want to buy groceries for the week I want to go to the store everyday bc of the cravings. I always want to eat out. My husband told me we were going to be able to go out to eat and then he backs out on me and expects me to be fine with it.  I think about food all the freakin time. I'm so sick of being hungry for something different all the time. I don't know why its so bad. And my husband does not understanid at all.  We just got in a huge fight about food and he proceeds to threaten me with just eating p b and js the rest of the week, that's like all ill be able to eat. Does anybody feel my pain or am I just being a selfish brat. Cause I really don't understand myself .

Not to be rude as well but that is pretty selfish HOWEVER though I was the same way. I was so sick when it came time to grocery shop I wouldn't buy a thing for myself and I only bought my BF his lunches for work. I put the extra money that I didn't spend on food aside so I can get what I craved for (I was so sick I couldn't hold down anything unless I craved it) so I told my husband about that and he was totally fine.. money wasn't a problem in my case but if he didn't feel like taking me to the store or restaurant I would either call for delivery or I'd settle for something that was in the kitchen. He was understanding on my behalf as I was on his.

I was the same way when I was pregnant (we didn't fight though).. I would crave something so bad I would get physically sick because I wanted whatever I was craving so bad.. I know how your feeling, and honestly when I was doing it I FELT like a brat.. but I couldn't control it.. it passed for me, I hope it does for you too, but I agree with anniebrooke, just try to talk nicely about it and explain to him how bad it gets.

It's not possible to tell how you are asking him, from your post.  If you're being the pregnant equivalent of a demanding Bridezilla, I can see how he would find catering to your changing whims tiresome.  But on the other hand, if you are looking at him sorrowfully and admitting that nothing looks good to you but [fill in the blank], he might be more helpful.  That said, I would work out a way so he doesn't feel like you are asking him to drop everything and go get you stuff, every darn night of the whole pregnancy.

Your husband should realize these crazy cravings are temporary. They won't last the entire pregnancy. He should be thankful you have an appetite and not doubling over with severe morning sickness the first 18 wks (personal experience). Also, there will be a time soon about a year from now that going out will be a difficult option. So, enjoy that hamburger, loaded baked potato, chicken strips, strawberry milkshake, and whatever else fancies you. Your only limitations should be budget and how much weight you care to pack on. Happy eating and congrats!!

Umm actually it is unhealthy to eat out everyday. u dont have to be pregnant to know that. can u imagine how much weight somebody would gain if they ate out everyday for 9 months?? Its fine to eat out a couple times a week but it really shouldnt be no more than that

[MommyToBe123]

No offense but that is being bratty. I think you should re-read what you wrote

[NikiHans]

I used to plan meals and grocery shop a month in advance, now I never know what I'll want so I just stop on my way home from work and buy what I need to make whatever sounds good that day. My husband and kids thankfully don't mind, but I drive everyone crazy at work when I start talking about things that sound good for dinner lol. We compromise and go out for dinner once a week, maybe you should try talking civilly and coming up with a plan you can both agree on.

I know how you feel the simplest thing to do is get the kids gummy vitamins then take one before your eating a meal an hour before and that will help its a great substitute for the nasty prenatals . And you'll become less selfish so to speak

Girl do not listen to them you are not being selfish! My husband buys me what I want!  Eating out every day is not going to hurt your baby all this talk about eating healthy is crazy!!  I ate whatever I wanted (mainly fast food) with mg first pregnancy she was perfectly fine!  I will also eat whatever I want this pregnancy too!!!  Nobody is going to tell me how to eat its my body my baby my pregnancy, I'll eat however I want to!

[arianna92]

I think ur being a lil selfish also! Idk wat it feels like tp crave bcuz i havent craved my whole pregnancy but u got to be reasonable.. just cuz ur preg doesnt mean everything is about u n wat u want.. not tryna be mean. But u dont have to give in to ur cravings either especially if its not healthy food.. home cooked meals are always best

[jessika91]

I just posted something similar but takeout everyday can be exoensive you can save that money instead I hate what I cook but im fine with any lil thing my hubby makes for me but I still cook and send him off with lunch and make him dinner cause my hubby loves his home cooked meals and I know that on sundays those are the days he takes me out to eat normally cause he I'm nows I deserve atleast a day out if thevweek for that

[estela92]

Not to be rude but i think youre being selfish. trust me i totally understand the craving things but not only is it unreasonable for u to expect ur husband to buy u something everyday its also not healthy. you should be trying to eat more healthy foods its better for u and the baby

[AnnieBrooke]

My thought is that there is a possibility your cravings come from not having enough of the various vitamins and minerals you need.  How strong are your prenatal vitamins?  Are they past their expiration date?
