Healthy meals during/after pregnancy?

lucy lu an

Hey ladies :)
I'm not a bad cook, but I really stink at finding meals or recipes to make. I was wondering if you know of any great websites or have any ideas from your own personal kitchen...
I'm 20 weeks pregnant, and my hubby and I have been living in a crappy hotel for 2 months. Now we're finally in our new apartment and I have a kitchen! Yay! I want to cook nice, at least somewhat healthy dinners. Breakfast and lunch are flexible, but I could really use some meal ideas..
Thanks a TON! :)

Meals and snacks to eat during pregnancy.. Besides the regular fruit/veggies?

Keri C

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and need some good recipes that are yummy and healthy for pregnancy! I eat the regular fruits/veggies and everything healthy, I just need something different! Any ideas?! Thanks!

Answer
Hi I'm 24 weeks pregnant for snacks I eat mozzarella cheese sticks, luna bars, or sometimes ice cream,yogurt or cereal. For meals I try to do chicken, rice, and 2 veggies, turkey burgers with chips and of course I eat some fast food not just everyday. I also incorporate a chicken salad once a week. Breakfast I normally have turkey bacon, grits, and egg whites. It can get really boring eating the same things over and over so I just kind of came up with this. You also have to see what the baby likes. Hope this helps! Congrats!
