A few healthy foods to add during pregnancy?
Laura H
Hi! I'm (hopefully) just getting over my morning sickness, and have been eating pretty unhealthy food through out the sickness because it's what I could keep down.
Now, I would like to start adding in some healthier choices. Before being pregnant, I also ate very badly. Sugar and carbs is mainly it. So to avoid jumping in and being overwhelmed, I would love some suggestions of extra good foods to eat and add them in semi slowly, so I can sick with it! I want to eat well for my baby! :) thanks a lot guys!
Oh, and for awhile I'm trying to still sick with nutritious foods that are easy on the stomach, because I'm still not 100%.
Answer
Fruits...any. I like apples and bananas, but every now and then add some peaches or strawberries. Try them with yogurt or in smoothies (yum!). Also, pancakes with fruit is like the best thing on the planet...but use lite syrup if any.
Vegetables...any. I like cooked broccoli, carrots, peppers, etc. Broccoli is a good one because it contains a lot of iron that you are going to need later on (low iron is common in pregnancy). Probably best to mix these into a salad with some diced grilled chicken!
Dairy...anything pasteurized. I like fruit/yogurt parfaits, greek yogurt, milk (1%), and string cheese. Smoothies tend to contain a little dairy as well and taste great. Avoid the ice cream, though.
Red meats...just a little. This will help combat low iron later on. Try home-made tacos or a good burger. Beef stew is a great idea for this winter! Plus, you can easily mix in some good vegetables to each of these dishes. (Try not to do fast food...it's MUCH greasier and processed than making things at home.)
Whole grains...any. I like whole grain white bread as apposed to just plain white. Also, multigrain cheerios with banana slices is a GREAT breakfast!
If you work and tend to go out to eat (fast food...or fried deli food for me) then I suggest starting to pack your lunch. Not only is it a LOT cheaper, but you can also provide yourself a much more balanced and nutritious meal. I found myself eating too much fried chicken and potato wedges for about 3 months. I switched to packed lunch and my weight gain has decreased and I feel better all around. I think even baby likes it more!
However, don't be afraid to eat unhealthy once in a while. Pizza is something I eat probably once every week or two. Baby loves it and so do I! I started eating supreme pizza, though, because I like the green pepper flavor and all the meats.
