Answer 8

lets see, the things i ate constantly throughout pregnancy was fried onions/onion rings, miso soup, thai food, and pickles dipped in mayo... oh and broccoli and cheese soup.

sometimes you will go through times that you really dont feel like eating.

It is not uncommon for a pregnant woman's appetite to change during pregnancy.  While the stereotype is certainly the pregnant woman who has an appetite for strange food combinations, such as pickles and ice cream, the fact of the matter is that every pregnant woman is unique in how pregnancy affects her appetite.  In fact, one woman's appetite may even change from one pregnancy to her next.

One of the most common and obvious changes to your appetite that can occur during pregnancy is an increase in appetite.  In addition to the fact that your body knows that it needs extra nutrition during pregnancy, your brain has been told, probably, for a long time, that you will need to be "eating for two" during pregnancy.  

The idea of "eating for two" is, actually, a myth.  Again, it is true that your baby does need specific nutrients to grow, and that you need more than usual.  But your baby's needs only amount to about an extra 300 calories per day more than what you would normally eat.  So your increase in food intake should be only about 20%, assuming you were on a 1500-calorie diet before becoming pregnant.  While your appetite may change during pregnancy, it is still important to follow correct nutritional guidelines.

Experiencing a change of appetite during pregnancy in which you have a loss of appetite is less common.   There are some conditions, however, that can cause you to experience appetite loss during pregnancy.  If your appetite decreases during pregnancy, you should speak with your health care provider.  It may be that there is a physiological problem that she needs to help you address.

Answer 9

Curly Fries all the way yum yum, i am 18 week and am literally scoffing a bowl now, i weighed 7 1/2 before getting pregnant and need to increase my calorie intake.

Answer 10

I eat whatever I am feeling because if I don't get what I'm craving or wanting, then I am sick. Mostly what I've craved though is Oranges and orange juice so its not unhealthy although I have given in to Mc Donalds a couple of times...

Answer 11

Fruits. Mainly pineapple, grapes, papaya, and mango because those are my favorite but as long as i get any fruit i will eat it,

Last night i had no fruit so i took a tomato out of the fridge and ate it just like that.

Answer 12

Each kid was different.  My son Michael is was popeye chicken, Abbey it was Chips and Salsa, Mary is was popsicles, and Sophia it was ice crunching.  I could not stop myself from crunching ice that my back molars became loose.  Everything is back to normal now.  Funny how what hormones does to your body.  I was also sick with my last one so that might explain the ice chips all the time.  Good luck to you

Answer 13

I was one of the lucky few who didn't have any morning sickness during the first trimester. But, some foods definitely were more appetizing than others.  On the 'favorites' list: MANGO, pineapple, strawberries, apples, yogurt, and spicy curries.  I've always eaten a lot of fruit, but now I can't get enough!
