Does anyone substitute like kale fruits shakes or smoothies for a meal here? I've been gaining weight like crazy. Before pregnant I was on a juicing cleanse and use to juice very often but since I got pregnant I threw it all out the window because everyone kept saying I needed to eat more, even though juicing and shakes were nutritional and healthy. Now that I'm 15 weeks tomorrow, I've been having more of an appetite for shakes again but not sure if that's okay for the baby. Docs appointment on 3rd of March but hoping for some advice in the mean time :) thank you!!
if you're craving shakes or smoothies, enjoy them! absolutely :) I would try to eat small meals too though. you're gonna gain weight (and more weight than you would want to) during your pregnancy. but just remember, after your pregnancy is up, you lose a lot of weight the first week after your baby is born. you got this girl!
My dr says what your craving you should have. within reason. if your craving it that means baby needs something from that. Dont gonna diet. you can do that later after you have the baby. enjoy your pregnancy. it comes and goes so quick. im having my son tomorrow. bittersweet. ..
Eat healthy especially if you're craving it. Just because you are pregnant doesn't mean you have to eat like a whale and get fat.
