Before I was pregnant I use to love salads, fruit and in general ate pretty healthy. Now that I am pregnant I can't stand to really look at any of it. All I seem to want is junk. I feel horrible eating this way. My frist child I still loved all the good stuff and now so does my daughter. Does this mean this next child will only want junk? Has anyone else gone through this?
I seriously thought my son was going to be born with a Snickers bar in O. hand and a Code Blue Slurpee in the other. I was a MAJOR junk food hound when I was pregnant and meat turned my stomach, as did large quantities of any food. My son is just fine and prefers broccoli over Smarties! :-)
I did go through this. Atleast in the 1st trimester. I hated almost all the stuff I loved before-lots of flavor-& just wanted anything bland or sweet & sour. My husband tattled on me to my mid-wife & told her I ate too much candy. I said everything made me naseous & she said that it's fine to just eat what I can; I'll make up for it in later months-which was so true. Apples actually helped with morning sickness & gave me energy. Make sure to take vitamins to help out(I took children's gummy,mmmmm,because I couldn't handle the "horse pills") & drinking high protein,low carb shakes help, too. A good one to try is Atkins Advantage. The way your child will eat just depends on what you feed her/him & expose them to,so don't worry about their diet out of the womb.You can always talk to your doctor at appointments,too, with any concerns,which I'm sure you probably have & are just searching for more advice. Hope this helped a little.
With my first I was the same as you. Ate very healthy and my daughter eats just as healthy. With my second I had cravings for cheeseburgers and french fries! We NEVER ate fast food but those darn In & Out burgers looked so good so I had them! It was really weird. My hubby was even shocked. Not only that but I probably had an ice cream sundae everyday! I worried about what you are worrying about too! It's funny actually. However, my son eats very healthy. Since he was one and started to eat solids, he has been eating every kind of veggie imaginable and like my daughter is not a picky eater at all. All that worrying for nothing =-)
Good luck with everything!
Well, all I wanted when I was pregnant with my son were dirty martinis. I didn't drink them, of course, but I'm sure that our cravings don't mean anything about how our kids will act in the future!
