diet in pregnancy

In the beginning I was RELIGIOUS about following pregnancy diet restrictions. No cold lunchmeat, hot dogs with NO nitrates, completely caffine free, limited fish and so on. Now, at the end of my pregnancy, I do eat cold lunchmeat, I just stay away from smoked or cured lunchmeat as it is not cooked. I usually go with cooked ham or oven roasted turkey breast. I do drink 1-2 cups of tea each week. The rest of the guidelines I do follow.

before i became pregnant i was weighing 240 being 5feet 4inches tall so i started a diet i have lost down to 200lbs, i was wondering is there a diet that i can take while being pregnant or if i will have to put the diet to the side till the baby is born?

/which makes it hard. A healthy pregnancy diet consists of protein, healthy carbs, whole grains, fruits and veggies. The closer your meals are together the less hungry you will feel and the less junk you will crave. You should eat 6 small meals a day .

Now during pregnancy number 4 I do have a stone and even with a very controlled diet am in mild pain most of the time and occasionally in enough pain that I have passed out. My blood tests are always normal other then a horrible infection that landed me in the ER and in several rounds of antibiotics followed by a c.diff infection. The pain and stomach upset from my gallbladder is now causing contractions and I can barely sleep most nights.

just wondering if any of you guys stick to a certain pregnancy diet or something like that! I am not fallowing any kind of diet, just trying to eat lots of vegetables and fruits, drink lots of water and juices etc...

t want to tell you to watch it around Thanksgiving but afterwards you need to go back to your diet. Start baking your chicken and fish and eating lettuce and tomatoes on sandwiches" Like really? I didn't think I was gaining too much. I've heard some people say they gained 40 pounds. Ughhh. I'm still going to eat what I want..

Sitting all day is a problem. Can you walk about a mile each day? Inactivity in pregnancy will make your labor harder, and make you feel lethargic. Is there a reason you are inactive?

I went through this with my last pregnancy. I had pain so bad that I thought I was in labor and went to L&D and they told me it was indigestion. Boy were they wrong. Since I went so long without a diagnosis my gallbladder became infected and caused me to have pancreantitis. Which is very dangerous. I was told the pain I was having was from when I was passing gall stones with an infected gallbladder. You most definitely need to go back to the doctor.

It does have caffeine in it but its only 100 mgs which the current recommendation for pregnancy is not to exceed 200mgs in a day. There are other natural ingredients in this supplement that help boost t3 and T4 but there's no actual hormone replacement perse...there is also hoodia which helps with appetite. As long as I'm gaining a normal amount of weight and baby if getting nourishment is there a risk of the supplement itself??

Are you ladies going on a diet after you deliver? I am I was 130 pre-pregnancy now I'm 169 omg. Everyone says I'll lose it because I'm just belly but still I'm only 5'2. I was going to go on the smoothie diet and eat just grilled, baked, or boiled meat, plus lots of vegetables. Also I'm getting a belly band.

Does anyone know a natural safe cream that I can use to treat painful piles in pregnancy - I am 32 weeks.

Girls I was wondering the same thing but all we have to do now is type "pre pregnancy diet" in a google search and it will give you tons of options!

Hi, congratulations! :) I was really sick at the start of my pregnancy too and was eating badly as it was all I could stomach. The main thing is to eat what you can, so don't worry about it- baby will get the nutrients required from you. Just keep taking vitamins (I found it better to have them at night or they didn't stay down either). Once the sickness passes you can get back to healthy eating :) good luck, I hope you have a lovely pregnancy!

Is it bad that I want to hold my cravings and not eat certain foods because I know they will put in a little extra weight after the baby. I try my best to only eat the needed food and stay away from donuts and chips and sodas etc.

Diet Rite doesnt use aspartame they use splenda.

They recommend under 200mg a day. Actually, in early pregnancy, black tea or coffee helped my morning sickness.

t think of it as dieting just eating healthy for you and your baby. Gentle exercise is fine in pregnancy unless your Dr has told you not to. You don't want to elevate your heart rate excessively for example. Swimming, walking and cycling are all good for example.

I went on the diabetic diet :) or gluten free!!!

i work from 8 till 5 everyday. i try to get to bed early but i have a 10month old son look after. i keep my body well watered but i'll take your advice on board.

Has anyone else's doctor changed your diet? My doctor changed mine to taking in more fruits and whole grains and it's been cleaning out my system, anyone else have this issue? I mean I told her I was constipated for a while which she said was normal with pregnancy but I didn't think that just changing my diet just a tad would clean me out. Sorry if this is TMI I'm just wondering if anyone else had their diets changed for baby's benefit ?

I was on the hcg diet and took my last inkection last friday. I took a pregnancy test today and the line was super dark (positive!)... I know you can get false positives at times but its been a week. Do you think I'm really pregnant?
