I am currently 3 months pregnant and I have a FOOD problem...?

Question

I never know what I want to eat until I see a commercial on TV of something succulent, or and ad in a magazine, but I am always eating something so that isn't the problem, but what are some of your favorite craving dishes!? I need food help...I am never satisfied w/ my meal!!!

Answer 1

I have been craving a lot spinach & steak with this pregnancy, expecting twins. And, now that the stores have taken the salad spinach off the shelf, I've switched to creamed spinach.I'll eat a spinach souffle for breakfast (I think it's Stouffer's tv dinner style.) They not only help keep my iron level up, but I don't crave pasta or bad carbs at all. I drink a great deal of water, every time I think about it. I know that my babies need a lot of water to grow. My glucose test came back perfect, and my weight gain has been in excellent ranges.

I also switched to eating cut up chicken breast, I like Perdue's "short cuts" - instead of eating lunch meat. I eat this on whole wheat, and it's great for when I'm on the go.

It's been a rough pregnancy, having 5 kids already - and now waiting on twins. I have been very careful of what I eat, to make sure that I don't have the carb hi's & lows, and eat good foods that help keep my energy up.

I have found that eating more protein, and less carbs keeps me not starving, keeps me eating regular, and keeps me & my unborn twins healthy. I stay away from the things that do them absolutely no good - like soda & coffee, things that are high in sugar & carbs. I feel better, as a mother, that my unborn twins can depend on me to nourish them with the things that they need.

And, 29 weeks pregnant - each of them weigh 2 lbs, 14 oz and are very healthy so I know that I"m doing a good job!

Answer 2

Last night I wanted shrimp & grits sooooo bad, and it wasn't what had been cooked. I thought, no problem, I'll have it for breakfast. Then when I woke up I knew I'd be sick if I had to eat shrimp & grits! We postponed it until late lunch. I know what you mean about not knowing what you want until it's too late. Southern shrimp & grits with a little cheese is good though!

My other favorite is a fast food happy meal--I know it's not that healthy, but I've been feeling sick when I get the least bit hungry and that heavy food makes me feel good for a couple of hours. So that's what I'll be eating several times a week until I get over morning sickness!

Answer 3

I crave for Ice cream all the time, especially the one with nuts. But, a good eating habit is very important. You should balance out your meal and should eat on time. Otherwise, it will turn to bad complications in your later pregnancy.

Answer 4

When I was pregnant with my boys one day I would love something the next it would make me barf so my husband who got tired of constantly running to the store for my ever changing cravings had a great idea, he went to the store and bought a little of every thing I may want,You know something salty,sweet,sour,chewy, and so on, and one or two pieces of every kind of my fav fruits.That way although we may not of had exactly what I wanted I could always find something pretty close.

You see that's why you are pregnant. You see something succulent and you have cravings and you are never satisfied.
