Eating for Two: What to Eat While Pregnant
i am 200 years pregnant (ok, about 38.5 weeks, but it feels like 200 years), and "what to expect" scared me half to death. my doctor was much calmer. so i ate a lot of fruits & vegetables, and calcium (ok, cheese, i am a sucker for cheese) and protein rich foods, and when i wanted something less healthy (the occasional ice cream, or soda, or whatever), i didn't feel bad about it, since i didn't do it that often. of course, for the first 4 months or so, i was never hungry, and even when i did eat, the food, um, didn't exactly stay with me, so i ate whatever i could keep down (which tended to be healthier things). if anything, i worried that i wasn't gaining enough weight (a problem i never thought i would have...), but the dr wasn't worried - he said the baby was 'living off the land' ;)
at this point, i need to eat a snack (cheese, fruit, cheerios, a glass of milk) every couple of hours, and drink plenty of water in order to stay coherent, but my weight gain has been very reasonable, and the doctor says everything looks good with the baby, so we are just waiting...
