Foods you couldn't eat during pregnancy

[Nataliecxy]

I loved chocolates before i was pregnant. After i got pregnant i just dont like to eat them and had no craving for it. When i went for a buffet which included chocolate fondue, i totally avoided it..and my friends were quite shock..haha

my mother keeps yelling at me for eating "potato chips" and drinking pepsi and junk food, but I've been craving them like hell, I really don't know if it harms my baby. I heard the baby takes whatever it needs from the mother's body. Am I really harming my baby? Note that I am taking multi vitamins

hi butterfly 320, yes, msg from junk food as well as cola drinks are harmful for babies. I had that craving too until now, but I try to substitute cola drinks with the lesser evil, sweetened natural drinks like nestea, coconut juice and other fruit shakes. Plus, if the craving is really that hard to resist, I take a sip or two but not too much since my baby may get sickly once she's born.

So if you can avoid it, please do, for you and your baby's sake.

Take note that I had been sick twice due to cola drinks (during my 2nd and 3rd month of pregnancy)

Ciao

Your baby is going to eat what you eat. That's why you should eat as naturally and healthy as possible. Try to keep away from processed, high sugar and salt foods. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Your baby's brain and body needs healthy food, not junk.

Caffeine is very bad during pregnancy. They are very high in sugar too, which you should really stay away from.
Try a non-caffeinated version like caffeine-free coke or pepsi if you really must have a soda. I drank them occasionally during my pregnancy.
MSG in chips is not good, and they are also high in salt and fats. You might want to try some more natural versions of chips, like pita chips. They are not as bad and might satisfy your salty cravings.

I'm like Marimari and Nataliecxy!  When I was pregnant I found I didn't like eating the junkfoods/less healthy options that I normally love.  I really enjoy Burger King (Bacon double cheesburger deluxe) and McDonalds (Big Macs) as well as pizza .... it was probably good for the pregnancy 

I did start eating lots of icecream (don't normally love the stuff) - which increased my dairy intake!

At some point in pregnancy I couldn't stand sauted spinach and any buttery or creamy pasta sauce.
I had  cravings for mandarins throughout pregnancy...
Also I couldn't stand smell of the real Christmas tree, which was a bummer since I was the one who insisted on getting one last Christmas

For me it changed all the time, sometimes the thought of eggs would turn my stomach and sometimes it was meat etc..

PLUS in my 2nd month preg. I ate a banana a day for 3 days and on the 4th day I had THE WORST allergic reaction !! My whole body blew up  and was sooo itchy it was unbearable for 5 whole days, I couldn't sleep and had to melt ice cubes all over just to get seconds of relief So no bananas after that all through pregnancy too
