Low sodium foods for pregnancy?




newmommy:)


I'm 29weeks pregnant and I'm having early signs of preeclampsia. The reason I'm asking on here is because my doctor was real short and not informative he only said to stay away from sweets, salt, and soda, which I completely understand but what are some foods that are low in sodium? The problem with a low sodium diet is the fact that I'm a real picky eater, not meaning to be I've just always been that way, so my choice in foods are limited to mac n cheese, meatless spaghetti with mozzarella, and pizza. I do not eat meat, not a huge fan of veggies. I'm needing help as to how much is a good sodium intake a day? Such as a diet you would keep it at 2,000 calories, well is there a way of knowing how much sodium is a far amount? Any websites or advice is highly needed, Thanks in advance

General rules:
Avoid overly processed food. The closer to the farm the better. Bake your own muffins, or bread if you can. Avoid deli/lunch meat like the plague. Make your own spaghetti sauce to avoid too much salt. Try to make fro scratch as much as possible and you'll do yourself a world of good.

Do extreme food aversions mean you will have a picky baby?




Mom of


Just a silly question. I was a very picky eater as a child and throughout my pregnancy my food aversions are insane. :)


Answer
My husband and I both have extreme food aversions and I have 1 picky eater, and 1 that will eat just about anything. I think it is a crap shoot when it comes to whether or not your kiddo will be picky :) You just have to try really hard not to let your kiddos see you being so darn picky lol. I noticed early on that if they noticed that I refused to eat something they wouldn't even taste it. So there have been times I have had to suck it up and eat something I didn't like to get them to at least try it. My husband on the other hand is even more picky than I am, and hes a stubborn butt and won't try things so that they will. Neither of my kids will even taste a tomato because dad thinks they are gross lol.
