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.

Breakfast

Pregnancy Diary – what I eat in a day. Started the day off today with a fruit bagel and a cuppa. I did have a cuppa earlier with some Rich Tea biccies as I had the worse nights sleep since pregnant so feel rubbish this morning. The baby has been wriggling all night long and is still at it now! #pregnancy #babybump #babyonboard #pregnantblogger #pregnancydiary #32weekspregnant #pregnancydiet #whatieatinaday

Lunch

Preganancy Diary – what I eat in a day. So I might have had a naughty @greggs_official steak bake followed by some sweet n salty popcorn, a chocolate chip shortbread with a cuppa followed by a Unicorn slice. Bring on the heartburn! #pregnancy #babybump #babyonboard #pregnantblogger #pregnancydiary #pregnancydiet #greggs #whatieatinaday

Snacks

Pregnancy diary – what I eat in a day. I should also mention that I’ve had these throughout the day as well a plate of grapes, the other half of Isabelle’s doughnut and this yummy new Yoghurt (Blood orange and Passion fruit if you’re interested). I’ve also drink at least four pints of squash, a glass of cloudy lemonade and about 4 cups of tea……I might not have finished yet. There’s still this evening to go ?? #pregnancy #babybump #babyonboard #pregnantblogger #pregnancydiary #pregnancydiet #whatieatinaday

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.
