Anyone same as me?

Hey mummies, Im a real foodie before pregnancy. Fast food, sushi, spicy food are all my favourites. Now that Im pregnant, people around me are asking me to eat healthily. I have been on a healthy diet during the first 5 weeks of pregnancy, but I cant stop thinking about having unhealthy food and I got so sick just thinking about having healthy food. During week 6, I sort of gave up and had fried chicken. Believe it or not, I was crying while eating just simply because I was feeling so guilty. Satisfying my own craving while risking about not bringing any nutrients to the developing baby. Im feeling rather depressed that I cant eat what I want now just because I need to think about the developing baby. Any mummies feel the same?

Hi idk how old is this post but just want to share with you it is okay to eat “junk food” during your pregnancy. Is to moderate it or have it once in awhile. Sometimes you cant help it once you developed pregnancy cravings ! As long your gdm passsed! Have a sneak out treat yourself once in awhile dont need people to know what goes in your mouth

Thank you! That said, I had macdonalds for dinner that night after I posted this 😂

as long as you're having it in moderation, it's fine. getting stressed over food isn't worth it for you and baby. sometimes I could only eat relatively unhealthy food. so have your fried chicken today, be happy. tomorrow let's try something else that you can eat. eating is a luxury in the first trimester, because nausea is the bane for us!

to be honest, all my 2 pregnancy including this third pregnancy currently i had all kind of junkkk food, important is to take your multivitamins or folic acid and tbh i just dont eat pineapple and aloe vera and raw sushi and things that could harm the baby.

This is very reassuring. Thank you!

lil Im not to caring about whaat J eat. sk ling as its not something that pose big risk to my baby like uncoomed seagood/sushi, all js free game for me. eaging something js better than not eating anything

It’ great that you can eat! I couldn’t keep anything down but macdonalds burger with pickles… it’s better than not having anything at all.. taking vitamins to supplement my diet makes me feel less guilty

Hope it gradually gets better for you soon!

for me, better eat whatever you want to eat just variety and good nutrients food, no alcohol, no smoking, nothing poison you. those are enough because happy mom is a healthy mom and healthy baby

I have never limit myself to eat healthy food only~ just avoiding raw/undercooked ones to prevent complications! Happy mummy happy baby 🤭 do take supplements needed too!
