Gestational diabetes? what do you eat for breakfast? i need ideas?

Kate

Hi im 28 weeks pregnant with gestational diabetes. I need ideas for breakfast. Ive tried porridge shreddedwheat and wholemeal toast with peanut butter. They all made my sugar go high. Eggs were ok but cant really stomach eggs first thing but i will if i have to. Its just i dont have much time in morning. I have drop my son to school early. Has anyone any ideas for breakfast?

Answer
Keep in mind that anything with a lot of carbs in it will spike your sugar. Try to remember that carbs = sugar.

Look for Weight Watchers or South Beach Diet recipes. Both diet plans are low carb and fairly friendly for pregnancy. I followed a modified WW diet during my pregnancy with great results.

I tend to eat hard boiled eggs in the morning (I hard boil them by the dozen early in the week and my whole family eats them), but if you can't stomach eggs you can try other things.
Cottage cheese with a small banana
Greek yogurt (look at the sugar content though, many are loaded with sugar, look for plain and sweeten it yourself with a small amount of honey)
South Beach Diet Snack Smoothies

Search of WW or South Beach diet, there are some yummy and quick breakfast ideas out there.

Pregnant ladies!!!!!?

Does your morning sickness get worse when you haven't eaten for a while? I wake up really sick because it's been hours since my last snack or meal. I do a lot of snacking through out the day to help ale my stomach. Luckily I've gotten into the habit to eat something healthy rather than junk food, which is all I want!!!! I kicked the pop and took on water. Actually some pops seem way to sweet now that I'm pregnant. Which is weird since I am a pepsiholic lol. I've been lucky so far with only feeling iffy through out the day, and only threw up a couple times, I hope to keep it that way lol. Anyhow does your morning sickness get worse the more hungry you get? Oh and how far along are you? I am 7 weeks 5 days.

Answer
I hate that the nauseousness associated with pregnancy is called "morning sickness" because it keeps most of us sick ALL DAY! Yes, it is much worse when the stomach is empty so that is why most are the sickest right when they wake as they have not ate anything for several hours. I think it's absolutely great that you are drinking water instead of pepsi and eating healthy snacks as as you know it seems the pregnancy hormones make you crave junk! LOL! Way to go! Just try to snack on healthy things all day long, I found rice cakes to be a great thing to just snack on, they stay around longer than some other things and they are much healthier than other options!

I am not pregnant so I hope it's okay that I answered your question.

What is your typical daily food intake? Like breakfast, lunch, dinner and any snacks?
i am 14 weeks pregnant, and I keep getting moaned at by people that im not eating enough, and just want to hear from you girls...
My typical day is -
Breakfast - Cracker bread with Cottage cheese and cucumber or bowl of cheerios
Lunch - Pasta with some kinda sauce or jacket potato with some kinda filling, or grilled chicken and veg
Dinner - salad or fruit ( I get up quite late so by the time i have my lunch its late enough to be classed as dinner) But if not, ill make something obviously
Snacks during the day is fruit or cheese strings =)

But if i do want more, i will make it.. i just have always had a low appetite.. I have gone from eating once a day - fruit.. to eating like this,,

Your answers are appreciated!

Thanks! x

Answer
there is nothing wrong with what you are eating. as long as you are gaining the right amount of weight to keep the baby healthy THAT is ALL you need to worry about. if your DR isn't making an issue about what you are eating or how much then don't worry about what anyone else says. NOT ALL pregnant women eat a ton of food.
people think that because you are carrying a baby you need to eat twice the amount you normally do (eating for two) but that's really not the case. i have never changed my eating habits (except maybe to be more healthy) while ive been pregnant and i have still gained the right amount of weight to keep my growing baby healthy (That stands for my first pregnancy and this one ..my second).
good luck
