So, whether I'm carrying a viable pregnancy or not, my current eating habits are, umm troubling. Here's my confessional:
I feel pretty sick. (Yay?) I mean, this nausea is intense. Getting out of bed in the morning is a slog, I'm queasy and lightheaded. And my appetite, well, it's the appetite of a pregnant person.
For the past few days, I've been eating really tiny meals, the problem is they're all really tiny starch based meals. Rice. Bread. A muffin. A little gnocchi with butter last night, because I have reverted to the taste of a 5 year old.
See the problem here?
My nutritional counselor had advised that I put myself on a gestational diabetes diet as soon as I am pregnant, just to be safe.
Uh, yeah, that hasn't been going so well.
Yay for nausea! I ate the same way early on. I kind of feel like it was my body having me eat just safe and bland food. I think it is ok to listen to what our body wants-especially when nauseous. Peanut butter crackers are lifesavers and have protein!
