Just wondering if there's anyone else on this pregnant too. I want to try and eat really well and make sure i'm getting everything the baby needs and not stuffing my face with all the wrong foods! Anyone with advice would be great, Thanks

    when i was pregnant , i had to eat healthy food mostly as i was rather sick. where i could have gone wrong were with cravings, i craved cream, but i figured out i only craved it if i hadn't had some milk in the morning, so i think calcium was the issue.
    i once read or heard somewhere that people who crunch ice need more iron.
    so my advice is, if you have a craving, try a healthier thing, or look it up to see what you need :)

    there are many pregnant ladies on here, I did something similar for my 2nd preg... best pregnancy I've ever had. I am friends with pregnant lady on here she is awsome I think she has less than 8 weeks she still does martial art, and have other children and works part-time nights as a nurse. Truly an inspiration.

    When I was pregnant is when I actually started eating super healthy. I was overweight to begin with before hand. I followed a healthy eating plan put together by a nutritionist that didn't restrict calories at all (in fact I had such a hard time eating enough!) but it was all very healthy. She told me as long as I ate well 90% of the time, everything would be fine. Which worked because it is so hard when those cravings kick in.. mine was cheeseburgers lol, But I ended up only gaining 20 pounds my whole pregnancy. Once she was born I lost all of that weight almost instantly. Having a healthy baby was all the motivation I needed. So I never had any weight to lose from the pregnancy itself (I have weight to lose from before which is my mission now) CONGRATS :) Good luck mama!
