Nutrition Suggestions :)

I am 7 weeks preggo with my 2nd baby. I gained way too much weight the first go round (65 pounds) mostly due to the few things that didn't cause an aversion for me were chicken fingers and chocolate chip cookies, not good, I know. I had finally lost all but 8 pounds of the weight from pregnancy #1, and surprise!, baby #2 is on the way. This time I hardly have any aversions at all, and I do not want to gain that much weight again, but I also want to make sure I eat enough for the baby and me both to be healthy. So, what are some of your favorite foods or meals to have during pregnancy?

Thanks so much, those are great suggestions too!

At the moment, I love dry foods. Potatoes especially and salads, all salads are on top of my list. I'm not into sweet stuff this time around like when I was pregnant with my daughter. I love to eat plain boiled potatoes with sour cream or potatoe salad with a little bit of olive oil, lemon juice, salt and crushed garlic.

Lol. My husband wouldn't eat it either, but he hates tomatoes too. Aw well, I thought it was yummy.

Thanks so much, it was great!  The dh said he couldn't try it, but it was a step better than the pickles and strawberries I mixed the other night :)

I hope you like it. :) I also used salt and pepper to add a little seasoning, but you might not want to use that. (I'm a sodium-aholic)

Wow, the macaroni with tomatoes sounds soooo good! I sent my dh to get some macaroni :) thanks!

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I had hyperemesis and was lucky to keep anything down. I remember one of the only foods I wanted all the time was Elbow Macaroni mixed with diced tomatoes. It was sooo yummy and I craved it nonstop. I also wanted twisty bread sticks, the kind Pillsbury made. I would just eat healthy foods, and if you want to snack try to keep it healthy as well, such as apples, pineapple, watermelon, pears, cantaloupe, etc. You could also eat veggies and such if you like those as well.
