bad eating habits...

ok im 14+2 days and this may sound stupid and careless but i have bad eating habits, i cant seem to eat anything other than fast food, but dont get me wrong! things i eat specially at BK is ceasar salad but i order some fries and water, i believe thats healthy enough, but when it comes to kfc i order everything with extra cheese, super size coke and apple pies....pies! more than one... dont get me started on McDnls. I know im being careless but i cant seem to get an appetite for other types of food, im scared im not getting enough nutrition to my baby, ive had stopped taking my vitamins for a week because my stomach couldnt hold it but ive started again this week and im getting those weird nauseating sensations whenever i swallow them, the doc gave them to me but i think theyre too strong. Either way i just want to break the habit of fast food, even though cooking makes me puke...eww :( i cant seem to smell the spices or anything it kills me! so please help :)

Ya it helps to take the vitamins before bed. But as for the ceasar salad... Sorry to say thats one of the worst salads to get since the dressing is quite fatty... and the fries are deep fried in oil... I mean its better than a hamburger but still the salad alone has 500 calories and 1600mg of sodium.... But you might be growing out of your yucky feeling stage pretty soon as you are into your second trimester and that is normally when everyone starts to feel better. Try making a salad at home though and maybe that will help but its very important to take your vitamins for your babies sake.

I ate fast food throughout my WHOLE pregnancy. not every day, but a good amount. I've only gained like 25 lbs too. I'm 40+3, and as for the vitamins, the prenatals I was prescribed got me so sick, I'd throw up right after taking them. so my doctor said I could take flintstones ones. I take the gummies

Im a horrible eater also and what i did was get vitamins from the health food store they have extra nutrients and contain fruit and veggie extract and they have ginger also so it helps with the nausea i really liked em i never had an issue with em! might go to your local health food store see what they got the ones i had were garden of life its a purple bottle!

When I first started taking my prenatals I would get sick as well, but I found a glass of milk with dinner, then taking the prenatals did wonders.

I cook a few times a week, but we eat fast food a lot too. Just take your vitamens and try to eat healthy. Once you get a little futher along you might be able to stomach cooking. That's how it was for me.
