This is going to sound really gross, but peanut butter with those hot banana peppers you get in a jar. It only lasted through the first trimester and then it made me feel sick to think about it. Probably because I ate it so much. The thought of it now makes me scrunch my nose. LOL I craved A LOT of spicy foods during pregnancy, especially Indian food.

Q.
Answer
Your OB/Gyn would be able to tell you exactly what you are NOT to eat, for health reasons during pregnancy... including cold cuts, certain seafoods, certain cheeses, etc. I can't remember the exact name of it, but I want to say it starts with an L. Some kind of bacteria that is in these types of foods that are relatively harmless when you aren't pregnant. If he/she can't give you specifics, they should direct you to a nutritionist or a registerd dietician who specializes in pre-natal nutrition.
You don't have to avoid spicy foods unless they give you heartburn... I don't get heartburn, and I love spicy foods, the hotter the better. Mexican food, Indian food, Thai food, and many others can be pretty spicy, do Mexicans, Indians, Asians and others avoid their own native foods while pregnant? No.
You don't have to avoid caffeine, and caffiene containing foods like chocolate, but you should limit your intake of them, limit your amount of fried foods and processed foods as well, any time, not just during pregnancy.
You want to make sure you are getting plenty of nutritional balance by eating as healthy as possible, and make sure you are getting enough folate (folic acid), iron, fiber and protein.
Take your prenatal vitamins, besides giving you the boost you need during pregnancy, they help supplement the nutrients that are missed from normal eating habits. Drink your water!! If you don't like the taste of plain water, add a bit of lemon juice, or other kinds of 100% fruit juices to it. Yogi (brand) Tea, and others have certain blends that are specially blended herbal teas for during pregnancy. Check with your local health food store, they usually have a very informative staff when it comes to what herbs are ok and what ones aren't, during pregnancy.
Remember, just because you are pregnant and "eating for two"... that second person's stomach is VERY tiny... depending on your starting weight, normally the most one has to add to their diet is about 500 calories... make sure they are nutrient filled calories, not "empty" ones like sodas and candies. You can still have those too.... just like a normal diet though, they should be limited. Your doctor will let you know if you are gaining too much weight, or not gaining enough.
If you have "morning" sickness (mine was morning, noon & night with my first)... Ginger Ale and Saltines may become your best friends. I haven't seen them for a while, but Altoids made Ginger mints... they even had the ones coated in Dark Chocolate... if you like the taste of ginger, it really helps settle the stomach!
