Pregnancy Diary – What I ate in a Day!
Pregnancy Diary – What I ate in a Day! My diet during this pregnancy hasn’t been great. I was so unbelievably sick at the beginning and didn’t want to eat barely anything. Smells have been a particular problem this time. Literally everybody on the planet or certainly that work with me eat garlic every single day.
Textures have also been an issue this time. I’ve reverted into a fussy child who doesn’t like lumps in her pasta and I could weed out the smallest piece of onion from a mile away.
I pretty much lived on cheese, crackers and crisps. I could also eat fruit and yoghurt if the mood struck.
My evening meals were a basic rotation of jacket potato with cheese, beans on toast and cheese on toast. I also ate the occasional roast dinner but with very little vegetables. Not sure what the not liking veg this time round is all about.
Based on this salty diet I think a lot of people are convinced that this baby is going to be a boy BUT this is exactly the same diet I had with both previous pregnancies and I’ve had a girl and a boy so we’ll see.
Anyhow, it’s so nice to have an actual appetite and not be totally repulsed by food so I thought I would share what I ate today. I haven’t put any special thought into this to make you think that I’m super healthy. I’m off work so it’s probably not as good as it would normally be since I have all day access to the cupboards and fridge.

I don’t think that was too much or too bad.
I think I probably need to eat a bit more fruit and veg but I’ve been drinking a lot of water. It is lovely to be able to cook as well as eat like a normal person again.

Ohhh, yummy. I love what you had for dinner. I might have to cook that next week. 🙂
Mmm that toasted bagel has immediately made me feel hungry! Dinner with the mozzarella balls looks good too!
I’ve had to be low-carb for the past month of this pregnancy and I’ve not really had any food aversions (well aside from the fact that the hyperemesis has me throwing up a lot of foods).
I want to start meal planning but haven’t quite got myself organised enough yet!
I love mozzarella!!
I do love a bagel and I like how you have mixed the healthy stuff along with some delights.
I remember how horrible it is not to fancy much when you are pregnant, I’m glad you are feeling a bit better now. I didn’t do to bad with my first one, but pretty much survived on peanut butter on toast with the second (having decided that avoiding food because it said so in a book was rubbish by that point!) I hope you continue to feel better now – it’ll all be worth it in the end!
I’m so glad that I can eat normally again. It’s such a struggle knowing that you’re supposed to eat well but physically you can only survive on toast, cheese and Monster Munch!
