I need a pregno diet...
I'm really starting to hate pregnancy. I'm not used to eating more than once or twice a day(but I do), and when I dont eat I get very sick and nausious, black out, knees give out, and I fall to the floor and shake uncontrolably. I get these about once a day, or every other day. I used to get them when I wouldnt eat before pregnancy too. (never knew what they were...)
I dont intentionally starve, I do eat. But if everything makes me sick, just by looking at it, or smelling it, what am I supposed to do? I love milk and yogurt, cottage cheese and veggies... But if I eat what I 'do' like all the time, I'm going to end up hating it (like pickels, tunafish, chicken, roastbeef, pork, steak, and peanut butter, which I craved protein early in PG, and now get disgusted)
Why am I hating food? Why does my body black out and collapse?
I love sandwiches and salads, but the smells of some things just, ew yuck. I cant even open the fridge or freezer. Should I throw out everything? lol, I never expected this stuff.

... since kindergarten means.. that as a little girl, my brother and his friends used to tease me alot. I had a complex on myself at a young age, and I tried to look like the knobby kneed little girls on my block. So, that's when it started....
I thought I'd clear that up, I didn't want to start another 'uproar', or get hounded with questions and doubts.

OKAY! I've had enough! Cut it out already with the damn critisism. It's going too far, and frankly it dosn't need to go there.
Thank you ladies for the nutrition advice, and to explain my blackouts... I have delt with eating disorders since kindergarten. My brother and his friends used to make fun of me as a little girl, and I've always had a complex. Since 12, I've been experimenting with crazy diets, and thats when I noticed my blackouts. I wouldnt lose conciousness, my eyes would literally, black out. I wouldnt be able to see anything, just pitch black, then my knees would give out, and fall and just start shaking. It lasts for about 10 to 15 seconds, and regain my sight.
I've never carried snacks in my purse, nontheless, never really had 'snacks'. I grew up in a very health consious fruits and veggies, no red meat, no cereal over 10 grams of sugar kind of house. Someone asked about my blackouts, and why I'm hypoglycemic and never carried snacks. So that's that.
I'm really not 'craving' attention... If you look at my post ^^^^^^^ up there, I'm simply asking for nutrition. Then 'someone' had the bright idea of turning it into a scene, which I really dont care about anymore. I honestly dont give a rats ass if 'certain people' dont believe my story, because I'm not here to 'convince' those 'people'. So, if yall wont mind, I'd like to go about my way and have my questions answered by people who actually 'stick' to the subject.
Thanks so much, and please, get over it. :-)

The "blackouts" you talk about sound like when you haven't eaten and then go to stand up and then everything just fades out. But on a more serious scale. You should be getting a Glucose Tollerance Test pretty soon. It's routine to test for Gestational Diabetes. I suggest that you mention these problems at your next office visit and see if the Doc wants to move up that test to an earlier date. Also, keep hard candy with you. When you feel like your blood sugar is dropping you can pop one for a quick sugar fix, and also orange juice if it's handy. Hopefully you aren't diabetic but sounds like it could be a possibility.
Honestly, some of you are no better then James. I've read all of her posts and I read all your responses. He's physically abusive and some of you are verbally. What makes you think you are any better? Her situation is horrible. She's not going to change it until she's ready. In the mean time, she needs help with nutrition and such. She is not asking for relationship advice, stay out of it.
Some of you really need to GROW UP!! I came here searching for answers a few months back hoping I could find some solace about the miscarriage I suffered. I've seen very little support and quite a bit of judgemental snide nasty comments. I'm still searching for answers but I can clearly see that I won't find that here.
Jenni, if you have questions, please feel free to email me. I've been where you are at in the past. Fortunately I was able to get myself out of the circumstance. I'm now 34 with two children and a husband living a much better life then I thought possible. I'm also in recovery from bulimia and anorexia and have been for 5 years. I think you mentioned having issues with food previously. I struggled with that from the age of 13. I may have some nutritional information that will help you with the weight gain you will and need to experience to have a healthy pregnancy.

I've never been pregnant, but I've been sick and I know popsicles helped a LOT. They should also help with sugar intake as you say you are hyperglycemic, snack on those during the day. God bless sweetie. =D
if you are not ready to take anyone else's advice about leaving and/or going to that place that was offered to you, maybe you will email dandeelyon since she has been in your shoes. that is also a step in the right direction. you did mention that stuff about food and i automatically thought bulimia.
If you can't take constructive critism don't post, i have no time or need for imature little girls. I will post whenever and were i want.
Dandylion- i can give my opinion if i want, we can agree to disagree but please don't make coments about me or the other posters when you were indeed doing the same to us.PEOPLE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULDN'T THROW STONES!!!!!!!

Troid, Thanks for letting me know about the juices and granola bars... I would have never thought. I made that list of what I ate today, and it's not much. I feel so full and I can feel the throw-up at my throut. I've had a yogurt, turkey sandwich, a celery stick, 2 cheese snacks, 3 glasses of milk, and like 8 chicken nuggets. That's all for the day. Well, come to think about it... It's not THAT bad?
But definately snaks in my purse will come in handy. Thank you so much. :-)
Thanks troid and mmj, for keeping your comments in the related subject. :-D
And to jluhart....
Your posting is extremely rude, and is not necessary. I asked about nutrition, not your extra 2 cents on my relationship.
And penny is quite rude also.... I'm not too fond of you either. You have no right to come on MY post and talk to me like that.
So I am asking for the two of you, to not reply to my postings again. Thank you.

get over it little girl youve got to expect that look at the way you went on also people have a right to make there own honest opinions i dont care what other people think
are you taking prenatal vitamins? are drinking lots of orange juice? eat saltine crackers that will help with the upset stomach. this sick feeling should subside into your 4th month. sounds as if you are eating healthy (except the chicken mcnuggets) ha ha. processed.
I think that is exactly it - She IS craving attention - I still don't believe the whole story. I do believe she is pregnant but I do NOT think the situation is as she has said. IF it is as bad as she claims she would NOT be able to use a computer a phone or anything. Anyone here watch Lifetime LOL!!!!!!!!!! I am sorry Jenn that I do not believe your story and I am not trying to be rude but it has been VERY conflicting since the first post I have read.
As far as nutrition - I always ate whatever I wanted. I ate the same way as I did NOT pg probably just a little more. It is really common sense - Just eat enough for two but do it sensibly.
PS In one of your other posts you said you would NOT be posting here anymore - What made you change your mind. This was the reason I felt you were starved for attention. That is the definition of a troll. Not saying that is what you are I am just saying that is what it is. You come on to get people all fired up, get rude at posts and keep coming and doing it over and over and over. You are going to get posts GOOD and BAD. IF you continue to post you have to take ANYTHING that comes your way. It's called DIFFERENCE OF OPINION and we ALL have the right to say ANYTHING we want. Well I better go.

You're hypoglycemic, but you NEVER thought about juices or granola??? What? And if you're blacking out, how do you know that you shake uncontrollably? You're blacked out, right? I was hypoglycemic when I was about your age, but what you're describing sounds more like a diabetic seizure. Maybe you should have your blood sugar levels checked out. Here's some advice, and you can take it or leave it- when you graphically describe these problems you're having (whether it's physical abuse or blacking out, falling to the ground, etc) it tends to raise some red flags- especially to those who are ttc. You might want to tone down the explicit details, and I guarantee you will receive fewer negative responses. Sometimes it looks like you're crying for help or just crying for attention. Keep your questions simple and leave out all the drama, and you may receive some legitimate answers.
HAVE YOU POSTED ON THE MATERNAL CHILD FORUM ALSO??????? THERE WAS SOMEBODY OVER THERE THAT ASKED QUESTIONS AND DID NOT LIKE SOME OF THE ANSWERS SO GOT ALL PISSY AND TOLD CERTAIN PEOPLE NOT TO RESPOND. NOT THE WAY IT WORKS! HOW DO YOU EXPECT PEOPLE TO RESPOND........WITH THE THINGS YOU HAVE TOLD PEOPLE ON HERE! THERE ARE PEOPLE ON HERE WANTING A BABY SOOOOOOOOOOOO BADLY BUT CAN NOT SEEM TO GET PREGNANT BUT YET YOU POST ABOUT JAMES PUNCHING YOU IN THE TUMMY! JUST WHAT KIND OF REACTIONS DO YOU EXPECT? THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE THAT HAVE TRIED TO HELP YOU AND YOU HAVE NOT TAKEN THEM UP ON IT....... DO LIKE SEEING PEOPLE GET SO UPSET OVER THE SITUATION??????? ARE YOU CRAVING ATTENTION?
Maybe you should reread her posts because she says over and over again she is not going to leave James. Can you honestly tell me that she should raise a baby in that environment? I am not judging, I am being honest. I am not punishing her, she is punishing herself, so instead of harping on me, try expending energy getting her to think of her baby instead of herself.
I agree with the above post... We are in no position to punish someone for the unfortunate events in their lives. Everything we do and say affects the lives of others, rude comments about past posts are really not necessary.
Jenni-don't worry if you find yourself not eating a lot right now, (hopefully) this won't last long and you will be back to normal eating again. Also they say to eat many small meals.
Enjoy your pregnancy...it goes by very quickly.I can't wait to be pregnant again!

ya know what.... if she upsets you that much, scip over her posts. maybe she left james, how do you know?she came here asking for advice about what she could eat not to put down by you. STOP READING AND RESPONDING if you have a problem with her.
jenni...try sipping some fruit juice throughout the day, your probably low on your blood sugars.maybe trail mix, or granola bars, light things until your done with the queaziness.trust me it will go away.get some juice boxes and some packs of crackers and carry them in your purse so you always have something. good luck.dont let the others get to ya

she told you to kiss her ass????wow thats clever.Start eating properly and stop whinning.....there are so many other people that would love to be in your position. Babies are precious treat yours the way it deserves, it's not about you!!!
No offense intended, but what do you care about what you eat and your pregnancy if you are keeping yourself and this helpless baby in harms way with this winner of a boyfriend of yours? You can rattle off all of this stuff about poor me and I am stuck here, but I hate to tell you this little girl, life is about choices. The sad thing is that you are not only making choices for youself, but you are making choices for that baby who needs to be protected, loved, safe, spoiled, etc. Grow up and move on. If not for your sake, for your baby's. If anything happens to you or your baby, James isn't the only one to blame.
Oh yeah, please don't tell me to kiss your ass. That only concerns me more about how your baby will be raised.

Ha ha! That made me laugh! I'm sorry I can give no advice since I've never been pregnant. But your question and then answering yourself was funny, plus a good idea! Good luck!
Okay, I may have answered my own question....
Keep a daily eating log, and note the foods that make me nausious, and switch up my meals... Not to eat the same thing every day, all day long, but to find something else... maybe shop around the market and open my mind to new healthy things.
I'm hypoglycemic so the log should also help figure out my freakish blackouts. (I've always wondered about those.. I get them more frequent now than before) The baby is probably taking all the nutrients and not leaving anything left for me. :-( lol.
(duh jen)
Thanks. :-)
