Question

what is healthy for me to eat while i am pregnant

Answer 1

Fruit: 2-4 servings per day
Sample of 1 serving:
1/2 cup fresh, frozen or canned fruit
1 medium whole fruit (orange, apple, banana)
3/4 cup fruit juice (avoid unpasteurized juices)
Vegetables: 3-5 servings per day
Sample of 1 serving:

1/2 cup raw or cooked vegetables
1 small baked potato
3/4 cup vegetable juice (avoid unpasteurized juices)
Grains: 6-11 servings per day
Sample of 1 serving:

1 slice bread
1 cup dry cereal
1/2 cup cooked rice, pasta or cereal
Proteins: 3-4 servings per day
Sample of 1 serving:

2 ounces meat, poultry or fish (see Note 1)
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1/2 cup beans
Milk Products: 3-4 servings per day
Sample of 1 serving:

1 cup milk
1 cup yogurt
2 1-inch cubes cheese (see Note 2)

Use common sense when preparing and selecting foods. Avoid the following:
Swordfish, shark, king mackerel and tile fish. These fish can contain potentially risky levels of mercury. Mercury can be transferred to the growing fetus and cause serious health problems. Also avoid game fish until you check its safety with your local health department. (A game fish is any fish caught for sport, such as trout, salmon or bass.)
Raw fish, especially shellfish (oysters, clams)
Undercooked meat, poultry and seafood. Cook all of them thoroughly to kill bacteria.
Do not eat hot dogs or luncheon meats. Examples are deli meats such as ham, turkey, salami and bologna. If you do eat these foods, reheat them until steaming hot.
Refrigerated pates or meat spreads. Canned versions are safe.
Refrigerated smoked seafood unless it has been cooked (as in a casserole). Canned versions are safe.
Soft-scrambled eggs and all foods made with raw or lightly cooked eggs
Soft cheeses made with unpasteurized milk. Examples are Brie, feta, Camembert, Roquefort, blue-veined, queso blanco, queso fresco and Panela. Check the label to see what kind of milk was used to make the cheese.
Unpasteurized milk and any foods made from it
Unpasteurized juices
Raw vegetable sprouts, including alfalfa, clover, radish and mung bean
Herbal supplements and teas
Also do not eat too much liver. It contains high amounts of vitamin A, which can lead to birth defects.

Some studies indicate that your baby may be at increased risk of developing a food allergy in later life if you, your partner or a family member has a food allergy. You may wish to consult a food allergy specialist for help in planning your diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Answer 2

Anything healthy and natural! You don't want preservatives, additives or any other crap added to your food. Plenty of fruit and veg - cook from scratch as much as you can so you know exactly what is going into it! No soft cheeses and there are some other things you should avoid - but its been a long time since I was there and I forgot! Sorry.

Answer 3

The same that is a healthy diet when you are not pregnant. The only difference is avoid unpasteurised foods, soft cheeses, peanuts and pate.

Answer 4

Lots of greens, spinach, veggie salads and such.
Lots of fruits. Dairy products such as cheese, drink your milk, if you like cottage cheese mix it with some fruit, if you like.
Get your protein from lean meats and beans. Chicken is an excellent source.
Stay away from too much sugar or foods high in fat.
Basic, common sense, really.
And take your pre-natal vitamin.
I assume you are under a doctor's care, you should speak with him/her.

Answer 5

Organic is great, fruit and vegggies, not too much red meat, eat fish at least twice a week if you like it. Dried fruit and nuts are beneficial in moderation (you don't want to be putting on too much weight).
Avoid soft cheeses.
