what are good food to eat you're pregnant?

Answer 1

The same healthy foods you eat while you aren't pregnant goes the same for when you are.

While pregnant, we tend to be a little more conscious though because we are concerned for baby.

Some good things to be sure to eat are your fruits and veggies. Lots of protein and milk. Extra orange juice for folic acid.

Eat smaller meals throughout the day instead of 3 larger meals. Snacking in between should be yogurts, carrots or celery, granola, apples or any other fruit, and peanuts are great.

The one thing you can do to ensure your intake of vitamins and minerals are on level is to be sure you are taking your prenatal vitamins.

Answer 2

No shrimp or other "filter feeders" in the ocean (crabs, crawfish) because they filter out nasty stuff in the ocean and the ocean gets cleaner, but their little bodies fill up with the "nasty stuff". So you don't want your baby exposed to that.
Don't eat Chinese food (canned or at a restaurant) bcause they put MSG (monosodium glutamate) in the food and this is potentially harmful to the nervous system of a dveloping baby. Also check labels for things like soup, etc. to avoid monosodium glutamate until after the baby is born.

Eat 1 egg every day and pop a prenatal vitamin at that time. Doesn't do any good to take a vitamin if you are not eating anything. The vitamin goes to work on the protein that you eat at the same time with the vitamin. You just excrete vitamins and they don't do any good if you don't eat the vitamin with food at the same time.
Howevr, if you have to take an iron pill, do that in the middle of the night (after you go to the bathroom!) with orange juice and nothing else. That may, your body will absorb the most iron from the pill.
Drink lots of milk (or yogurt and throw in a little wheat germ and half a banana with the yogurt).
I ate vegetables and meat/chicken (very little starch)for one of my pregnancies and that baby was healthy, healthy and I only gained 25 pounds.
Don't drink colas or any sodas. Don't eat Splenda or any food with aspartame (artificial sweetners). Don't eat anything with dyes in it, like Skittles candy, or Starburst candy, or anything with colors (like M&Ms). The dye isn't good for you or your baby.
Eat natural foods, salad, turkey, chicken, red meat once or twice a week, tuna fish (the cheapest tuna fish, that has less mercury in it than the more expensive albacore--can you imagine that!), peanut butter, almonds (have lots of omega-3 which is good for everyone), eggs (as I said--eat one a day as they are pure protein--vry healthy), cheese. Just no fast food (scares about E.coli, Salmonella, etc.). I wouldn't eat a lot of bread or other starch if I were you.
Just read labels and don't eat food with artificial colors and flavors, MSG, sodium aluminum phosphate (baking powder). Avoid baking powder that contains aluminum and there is some link to Alzheimer's. A lot of baked things and frozen waffles have aluminum. I would cut that out until after the baby is born.

Answer 3

Fruit
Vegetables
Milk and other low fat dairy foods
Whole grain foods
High protein meats

Pretty much the foods you should be eating regularly if your not pregnant.

Answer 4

Don't be skimpy with the milk. . .babies can't get enough calcium ..I know probably no one believes me but I can feel babies kicking in other people's wombs and I think menstrual cramps could be caused by babies' skulls developing ...not sure myself if milk is enough for protein, what to suggest instead of meat. ..maybe babies would be born invisible if enough milk were consumed? My sister is a dieter and I felt that her baby was so hungry! (she turned out just fine but I'm a vegetarian and the amount of Banquet chicken I ate was unreal)

Answer 5

Well, I don't have first-hand experience, but my mom said that you shoud eat foods that will be healthy for your baby when it gets older so that it will develop a taste for those things. For instance, if you eat a lot of broccoli and your baby eats it in the womb, he/she will be more likely to like broccoli as a child.

Answer 6

Raw foods like fresh veggies and fruits.
Lots of orange juice.

Answer 7

ben and jerry's ice cream
