What are some healthy foods to eat during pregnancy?

D [[

I feel as though I haven't been eating enough healthy foods during my pregnancy, I am 27 weeks. What are some good, healthy meals? ( I really know nothing about healthy foods, I have never really tried eating healthy. I also have a problem where I have a lot of trouble gaining weight and staying at a healthy weight, so I thought eating all healthy foods would just make me lose even more.)

I am about to go to the grocery store, what are something I should add to my list?

Thanks for your help! =]
I already have plenty of fruits and vegetables on my list and I don't know of anything else that is considered healthy. Could someone tell me some hot foods that are really healthy?
Yea, I meant it is nearly impossible for me to gain weight, not that I'm gaining too much. I have so much trouble keeping weight on, I'm sure I'll have no trouble losing after the baby, but who knows.

Answer
Healthy food is healthy food, whether you are pregnant or not. Vegetables, fruit, whole grains (brown rice, whole wheat bread and pasta), milk, fibre, etc. Try to stay away from processed or frozen food as much as you can. And obviously don't eat raw meat, fish, cheese or eggs.
The list is endless for healthy hot meals - lasagne, spaghetti, quiche, stir fry......

I had the same problem with weight gain. With my first I gained 18lbs total. I weighed 122lbs pre-pregnancy, went up to 140lbs just before delivery, and after 6 months of breastfeeding I weighed 100lbs. With my second (I'm 25 weeks pregnant), I started out at 115lbs and have gained 12lbs so far.

Weight gain is not an indicator of a healthy baby. They will measure your uterus at every appointment to make sure the baby is growing consistently. the only reason they weigh you is to make sure you haven't gained too much too quickly which can be an indicator of high blood pressure/pre-eclampsia.

I have been trying to eat well. I used to drink about 5 dr.peppers a day so going to one a day is really getting to me and I would really like to not drink that much. Also I used to eat alot of junk food but since becoming pregnant with our second child. I have tried eating more salads and vegetables. What are some other really good foods to eat during pregnancy?

Answer
im not 100% sure myself what are the best foods but im 30 weeks pregnant and i have a very poor diet i also drink alot of coca cola and there is absoloutly nothing wrong with my baby or his heart rate. its you that its going to effect not the baby the baby will only take what nutrients it needs.
however iron and vitamin d are very important.
my iron is not what it should be so i have been advised more red meats legumes and nuts are to be added to my diet or it may effect me.
