Your video helped me realize I hardly had any water today (and it's almost noon), so I drank 20 ounces while watching. Thanks for sharing - and for the reminder!
I can't describe how happy I am that you are pregnant! Jen, you're going to be an amazing mother and Don is going to be an amazing father! Winnie and your daughter are so lucky to have you has parents!❤️ I've been watching your videos for years and watched you grow as a person. I'm so happy for you and Don, I give you my best wishes☺️
today I just found out I'm about 5 weeks 3 days along 😯 and we'll it's my first pregnancy ! I'm only 22 ..and I really am not hungry at all😕 like all day and nasious around the clock!!! I'm happy I'm prego but 😣 it's so hard !!I haven't been feeling well at all and the only thing I feel better with eating is fruit!!
Congrats! The nausea will subside. Try to eat some dry toast...sip some ginger tea (I preferred chilled over hot.) nothing wrong with being 22, I was having my second child at 22 :)
Congratulations! I think that's very common. My appetite didn't really increase that much until the 3rd trimester. Just make sure to eat nutrient-dense food when you are hungry. Vitamin B6 and ginger also help with nausea.
yen Ling shang hey... I found out im pregnant today lol im 24 and its my first. I saw ur comment and i feel the same way. A lot nausia and not really hungry... I wish u the best.
Me too! I got way too excited when I found them $1.99/lb last week! I've loved being able to grab a handful whenever I want them instead of portioning then out carefully to make them last longer.
Hey Jen - loved watching you go through this journey 5 years ago and now rewatching as I’m pregnant with our first child! So thankful we had carrots in the fridge because I saw yours and instantly NEEDED to eat some 🤣
I have been loving grilled cheese with whole grain bread and some tomato soup, and I also have a small spinach salad on the side. This meal for lunch has been fulfilling but does not make me want to take a nap after. And is also perfect for the winter time.
I've 6 weeks pregnant and I've been passing out from low blood sugar and dehydrated quite frequently. I thought I was eating enough and drinking but compared to how much you drink and eat, no wonder I'm fainting! Thanks for the information. Ready for changes!
You seem to be doing really well with your water intake, but if for some reason it stops being so easy, try cutting up fruit and putting it in your water. I was fine in my first two trimesters but by the third I just cannot seem to stomach water on it's own. I put raspberries (frozen or fresh) and sometimes strawberries or blueberries in a large travel bottle of water and it really seems to help!
I hope you see my comments. I can't tell you enough how happy I am for you,that you are pregnant!!! I think about you sometimes (a little crazy) & just get so excited for you guys! You & Don will be wonderful parents & again congratulations!!! I loved this video. You always are so disciplined when it comes to eating. I wish I was more like you!!! 👶🏼🎀🍼
During my first pregnancy I craved a lot of milk. This pregnancy I was extremely hungry during the first trimester and ate a lot of eggs. I am now 27 weeks and pretty much eating like my normal non pregnant self (obviously avoiding unpasteurised cheeses, pate, seafood etc). Today I had homemade oaty bread for breakfast, lasagne with salad for lunch and vegetable chilli for dinner. I had one snack of a homemade flapjack with a glass of milk mid morning.
Wow! You are so lucky that you can eat all that! I am 27 weeks pregnant with my second and with both this pregnancy and my first I couldn't have eaten most of that due to severe food aversions. I have been craving fruit like crazy, so that looked really good!
This is a weird question but at what time do you go to bed? I can't imagine not snacking between dinner and bedtime! but I also go to bed fairly late (which I'm trying to change) I don't know if anyone else would find it interesting but I would love to see a daily routine video with that kind of info (your waking time, work out time, cleaning time, bed time...) hahaha I know it's weird but I love watching other people's routine and I think yours would be the best one:)
Just thinking about water intake. I'm sure you and your doc know best, but FYI the Mayo clinic website mentions as a general idea that a pregnant woman should have about 8 cups of water per day.
I haven't said it yet, but congrats Jen! I'm so excited for you two and feel special because you are sharing your journey with us! Thanks! I'm going to Chicago for the first time in a couple of weeks, wish we could meet. Any places I should definitely check out?
Really enjoyed this video and have liked seeing so much content from you recently but make sure you're not over doing it. Now is the time to be taking it easy.
Great video Jen!! And with both of my girl pregnancies I craved cottaged cheese and milk. Keep the videos coming. Also, if you are doing any baby prep as far as shopping, nursery, washing baby clothes I am sure most checking these videos would love it :) Best.
Enjoyed this, thanks Jen! I was obsessed with fruit in my first & second trimester, now I'm more about berries and not much else fruit wise. I've been enjoying a turkey wrap at lunch with lots of vegetables, some avocado for the good fats and a piece of cheese (pasteurised). I too have a food cut off time and eat the most around 4 then I'm mostly done appetite wise. I also love grilled haloumi cheese in a rice salad too, yum! #35 weeks
My new favourite thing is skyr yogurt. It's Icelandic style so like Greek but thicker and more creamy. Packed with protein too. It's like eating ice cream that's good for you!
Would love to see these videos when your meals start to change. I've been really enjoying a little bit of rolled up lunch meat, string cheese, tomatoes and cucumbers with hummus. I've also enjoyed a few different fruits throughout the week and change them up from week to week to keep absorb different nutrients. Are you trying to consume more calcium or anything additional specifically during your pregnancy?
My go to quick fix that involves minimal cooking is veggie pasta sauteed with breadcrumbs and whatever else I have in the pantry or fridge. Cherry or grape tomatoes, chickpeas, onion, squash, or beans. It's a recipe that just uses staple ingredients in my house and really doesn't require much time at all. If I'm not paying attention to the time I won't tend to get hungry until 8 or so which for me is too late for me to be willing to cook anything. This is the least amount of cooking I'm willing to do once I've that mark.
Hey! I loved this video and it was helpful! I realized it's okay to eat more smaller meals throughout the day rather than just three large ones. I have trouble thinking of healthier snacks. Can you do a video on that?! :) I've been craving both milk and fruit also!
My favorite snack while preggo, and now while still breastfeeding, was/is extra sharp cheddar cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla. I heat it just enough so the cheese is warm and a little soft. Then I dip them in taco sauce. Medium, please. I craved spicy while pregnant. Loved this video. Would love to see more like this, and/or "what I'm wearing" and/or your workouts. Thank you for sharing.
I loved cottage cheese and berries as a snack when I was pregnant. I always say my daughter grew on PB, cottage cheese, berries and scrambled eggs..lol! I use to wake up in the middle of the night at the beginning of my 3rd trimester and eat pb on celery..lol!!
Love all your pregnancy updates, video's, and bump pic's 💖 Jen, I was wondering if you are taking prenatal vitamins? I may have missed your mentioning it. Also may i highly recommend adding some daily citrus fruits and dark leafy greens for the folic acid. I remember in my 1st pregnancy doing the research and reading often about the importance of this DNA building block in mommy-to-be's diet both during and after pregnancy. You look amazing and so happy! Congratulations again 😄
Hearing your voice instantly makes me happy, it's funny! I think it was because when I first discovered you I watched so many of your videos to catch up and I was very happy in my life so I suppose your voice brings me back to that feeling ^_^
Is that what you'd normally eat or have you changed your diet specifically for the pregnancy and when do they suggest you start eating more than normal or is it just down to how you feel?
Average Jane The types of food and size of meals/snacks are basically the same, but I'm eating more during the day and less during/after dinner. No one suggested I eat more, although I've read you can increase your calorie intake by 300 or so in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. I don't count calories so I'm not sure if that's what i've done. i think it probably works out to be something like that.
Every morning I eat Greek yogurt with a slice of toast and peanut butter and a glass of almond milk. My other meals change a lot but that is always the same and I can eat it quickly if I'm in a rush to get to work early
Strawberries, strawberries and more strawberries, I couldn't get enough. They'll still may favorite and my sons too. You have the mommy glow. Congrats to you, Don and big sister Winnie.
Hi Jen! That was a great video. I have a question for you (or maybe a video idea): what are some tips to eating more at home? I have a hard time getting motivated to cook at home and not grab something on the go. Thanks! Have a great week 😘
Diana Caroline Prepping foods in advance helps me (like boiling eggs and chopping veggies for snacks). Also I am spoiled by my husband's interest in cooking, but leftovers are great for eating at home more, as well.
your breakfast is what I eat almost every day...but I cannot really drink orange juice that much, anymore...I am crazy about eggs! love you...glad to see you doing so well....i love the beauty in your eyes!
I was under the impression that your water intake should only be 1/2 of your weight in ounces. Did your doctor tell you how many is to drink? Seems like your really drinking a lot of water... Not that water is bad but I was just wondering.
It depends on your activity level. Jen is a very active person, so she needs to replace what she sweats out, get in her normal amount, and drink some extra to help keep the extra blood (your bodies blood volume doubles through pregnancy) flowing easily.
Half your body weight in oz is the recommended minimum for water intake, not the maximum. Daily water intake will vary based on each individual & their needs/activity level.
9 weeks fresh today.💙 Cant really eat big so these are great little meals i can eat 3 times throughout the day to hold my stomach at work, home and elsewhere😍 thank youu
My first pregnancy I craved wavy lay chips with French onion dip and ate dill pickle by the gallon from Sam's club LOL. Oh and the first pregnancy was also peanut butter captain crunch cereal. And ate my usual meals. Second pregnancy was a late night candy bar and that was it. You eat way better than I did. I craved junk food for snacks.
My OB Dr had me drinking 3Litters of water a day but once I hit 30weeks he wants me drinking 4L. It's tough some days considering that pregnant women have to pee all the time anyways.. My cravings have been frozen fruit for a snack. Especially peaches and mangos :)
Love these types of vlogs. With my don. I had "morning" sick all day from start to the end of my pregnancy. So I didn't crave much. All though I did like to eat dark chocolate frosting with a whole pickle!!! Lol. My daughter. I wanted ceasers salad and fruits. And EVER THINK pumpkin lol
Thanks for sharing a great vlog as always. I'm sure you're probably not hungry at dinner because of the late afternoon snack. If it were me I'd cut back on that or portion size at least as dinner is more important to me. Thanks for the reminder to drink more water, I'm guilty of not drinking enough in a day. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy. :-)
When I was pregnant with my son I craved spring rolls (the fresh, -not- fried kind!, just healthy veggies and shrimp), and sticky rice with mango... Unfortunately, I also craved Krispy Kreme donuts but luckily they were hard to find! =)
I craved so much fruit in the beginning of my pregnancy too! I couldn't get enough of it. Now that I'm 31 weeks today the tables have turned and I want lots and lots of veggies! 😜 there have been several doughnut attacks along the way too though!
PS I just looked it up apparently according to the NHS that's an English medical body soft cheese contain more water that can harbour bacteria that can cause problems best to stick to hard cheese !
How do you sleep at night when drinking all that water? I would be in the bathroom every 30 minutes, lol. I'm 19 weeks and craving salty items and steak :-)
I craved citrus fruit in my 1st trimester. I want to know what kind of pregnancy food splurges you allow yourself! My weakness in the last few weeks of my pregnancy was ice cream!!
I'm not pregnant lol, but I have been loving the Harry's Tomato Soup from Costco, and they have some Chicken Pineapple Sausages that are so GOOD! I also love that it's a good time of year for fresh fruits and veggies. We have been having a lot of corn on the cob. Yum!
That's good your eating healthy during your pregnancy the baby weight just peels right off for some ladies and some of us just have to work a little harder but that's ok. I lost weight before I got pregnant with my 3rd child I was a size 4 and, l was a size 10 when I gave birth to him in December of 2008,by March 2009 I was a 6 and by the summer I was a size 4 again.
Looks delicious and healthy! Obviously you are drinking lots of water, but I just wondered if you are drinking any tea (decaf)? Congratulations to you, Don, & Winnie!
Hannah Mann I haven't been interested in tea at all while pregnant which is unusual for me....we'll see if my taste for it returns with the cooler weather come fall.
I just know as a company Organic Valley is much better than Horizon. Here is the ingredient list - Ingredients Organic Cultured Pasteurized Skim Milk, Organic Pasteurized Cream, Organic Nonfat Milk, Salt, Citric Acid, Organic Guar Gum, Organic Locust Bean Gum, Acidophilus and Bifidus Cultures.
Good rule of thumb for pregnancy is to drink 1 oz of water per every lb that you weigh. (135lbs=135 oz of water) So as you continue to gain weight during pregnancy; add on more water :-)
Hi Jen, sure wonder how such a little lady can drink so much water.I am not sure I am even close to that in a days time.IWish you and your baby girl much happiness.
Jen!! I love love love you guys! Me and my sister subscribe to your channel and have faithfully followed your journey for a couple of years now! Love your what I ate video!! It gives me ideas on what to eat! Thanks to your videos I have just discovered Ezekiel bread and love it!!
Hey PrettyNeatLiving! I am new to your channel and I like this video! I am almost done with my pregnancy so this was a helpful video for me. I am expecting my first little boy! I hope your pregnancy goes well. I am new to youtube, making videos, and I also love organizing as well so I would love to chat with you sometime and get some more organizing ideas!
You look wonderful Jen!!! Loved the video, we should all eat like this. I took some of your ideas to add into my diet, thank you. Take care............
Thank you for admitting that you eat something sweet because no one else acts like they eat anything but avocado toast lol. I feel so much better about my diet after seeing that you still snack too.
Leah Black I have been avoiding unpasteurized cheese/dairy. Seafood is ok if you have less than 12 pounces a week and it's cooked appropriately according to my doctor.
7am I would have 2 satsuma, bf around 9am I have 2 eggs with spinach pepper n mushroom with a cup of coffee. Lunch At 12/1pm would have a broccoli chicken and cabbage with glass of squash. Snack around 2 an apple. 4.30pm my smoothie (frozen berry, frozen mango, 3 dates, lil coconut oil, lil avocado oil, spoon of chia seeds, lil oats, Greek yogurt mix with water I don’t like it too thick, n a spoon of super green powder) n dinner is bowl of lentil with cucumber n tomato salad. I take all my prenatal supplements n it’s expensive boy, the omega oil itself was £30🤦🏻♀️ the supplements are natural from iherb. I try to keep it simple nutritious n give my baby a good start in life. I have a glass of milk before bed. The diet is expensive but it’s for my baby’s future investment. I’m using my saving on him. I don’t have carbs only seeded bread or brown rice if I do have it n also beans n pulses are regular in my home, chicken n lots of fish. Living in London all the bloody is damn expensive. My first pregnancy I’m 28wks n I drink over a litre of water a day that’s including all fluids but purely water I would day 800mls.

I'm currently pregnant, 15 weeks. And this is my first pregnancy. 😊
I'm 5 weeks pregnant with my 4th baby and I'm starving! This was helpful because I want to eat healthy this pregnancy. Thanks for sharing this.
today I just found out I'm about 5 weeks 3 days along 😯 and we'll it's my first pregnancy ! I'm only 22 ..and I really am not hungry at all😕 like all day and nasious around the clock!!! I'm happy I'm prego but 😣 it's so hard !!I haven't been feeling well at all and the only thing I feel better with eating is fruit!!
Congrats! The nausea will subside. Try to eat some dry toast...sip some ginger tea (I preferred chilled over hot.) nothing wrong with being 22, I was having my second child at 22 :)
Congratulations! I think that's very common. My appetite didn't really increase that much until the 3rd trimester. Just make sure to eat nutrient-dense food when you are hungry. Vitamin B6 and ginger also help with nausea.
yen Ling shang same to me
yen Ling shang hey... I found out im pregnant today lol im 24 and its my first. I saw ur comment and i feel the same way. A lot nausia and not really hungry... I wish u the best.
I'm 9 weeks pregnant & I'm just 18.....it's my first pregnancy & yeah..i also feel like eat nothing because of nausea and vomiting 😘😘😘😘😘
I am a man and I benefit a lot from your videos as a soon to be first time dad
Wish my husband could be like u.... all he cares about is his job
I'm obsessed with cherries this summer! Can't get enough of them! I've also really been enjoying an iced coffee every day during my daughter's nap.
Me too! I got way too excited when I found them $1.99/lb last week! I've loved being able to grab a handful whenever I want them instead of portioning then out carefully to make them last longer.
Oh I love cherries too. Buy them at Costco. So good :)
+The Mommy Archives Love iced coffee, homemade is best because the flavoured milks are loaded with sugar.
I'm really really still just SO excited for you! Please take us along as you decorate the nursery!
Hey Jen - loved watching you go through this journey 5 years ago and now rewatching as I’m pregnant with our first child! So thankful we had carrots in the fridge because I saw yours and instantly NEEDED to eat some 🤣
I loved this! I'm done having babies but I really enjoyed seeing your ideas for delicious and easy/healthy meals. You are glowing, Jen!
I have been loving grilled cheese with whole grain bread and some tomato soup, and I also have a small spinach salad on the side. This meal for lunch has been fulfilling but does not make me want to take a nap after. And is also perfect for the winter time.
I've 6 weeks pregnant and I've been passing out from low blood sugar and dehydrated quite frequently. I thought I was eating enough and drinking but compared to how much you drink and eat, no wonder I'm fainting! Thanks for the information. Ready for changes!
We need to hear from Papa Donald! Please!!! What are his thoughts and changes in routine?
Congratulations Jen! Lovely meal plan and I loved the fact that this gave me ideas on what to eat even though I am not pregnant!
You seem to be doing really well with your water intake, but if for some reason it stops being so easy, try cutting up fruit and putting it in your water. I was fine in my first two trimesters but by the third I just cannot seem to stomach water on it's own. I put raspberries (frozen or fresh) and sometimes strawberries or blueberries in a large travel bottle of water and it really seems to help!
I hope you see my comments. I can't tell you enough how happy I am for you,that you are pregnant!!! I think about you sometimes (a little crazy) & just get so excited for you guys! You & Don will be wonderful parents & again congratulations!!! I loved this video. You always are so disciplined when it comes to eating. I wish I was more like you!!! 👶🏼🎀🍼
I'm 12 weeks pregnant right now and my go to meal is any kind of salad, a bowl of frozen preaches, and lemon water.
During my first pregnancy I craved a lot of milk. This pregnancy I was extremely hungry during the first trimester and ate a lot of eggs. I am now 27 weeks and pretty much eating like my normal non pregnant self (obviously avoiding unpasteurised cheeses, pate, seafood etc).

Very informative! I'm definitely going to be adding these healthy meal ideas to my pregnancy diet! Thanks for sharing!
Sounds like we're expecting around the same time! I really enjoyed watching this, very simple/healthy meals :)
This is a perfect meal plan for a breastfeeding mom too! Thanks I'll definitely structure my meals more like this (when baby allows me...)
Just thinking about water intake. I'm sure you and your doc know best, but FYI the Mayo clinic website mentions as a general idea that a pregnant woman should have about 8 cups of water per day.

You should do more of these What I Ate videos.
Sunnymoon1918 I'll probably do another later on in my pregnancy
Great food choices on your part Jen :)A favorite of mine has been Greek yogurt with chia seeds and granola...very filling and healthy!
Great video Jen!! And with both of my girl pregnancies I craved cottaged cheese and milk. Keep the videos coming. Also, if you are doing any baby prep as far as shopping, nursery, washing baby clothes I am sure most checking these videos would love it :) Best.

Great meals! You always eat such yummy, healthy foods and snacks.
Jen looks so beautiful. She has the pregnancy glow !!!
you did so good with your water intake, I must do better and I love the sweet treat portion size.
Love these types of vlogs. With my don. I had "morning" sick all day from start to the end of my pregnancy. So I didn't crave much. All though I did like to eat dark chocolate frosting with a whole pickle!!! Lol. My daughter. I wanted ceasers salad and fruits. And EVER THINK pumpkin lol
Thanks for sharing a great vlog as always. I'm sure you're probably not hungry at dinner because of the late afternoon snack. If it were me I'd cut back on that or portion size at least as dinner is more important to me. Thanks for the reminder to drink more water, I'm guilty of not drinking enough in a day. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy. :-)
When I was pregnant with my son I craved spring rolls (the fresh, -not- fried kind!, just healthy veggies and shrimp), and sticky rice with mango... Unfortunately, I also craved Krispy Kreme donuts but luckily they were hard to find! =)
I craved so much fruit in the beginning of my pregnancy too! I couldn't get enough of it. Now that I'm 31 weeks today the tables have turned and I want lots and lots of veggies! 😜 there have been several doughnut attacks along the way too though!
PS I just looked it up apparently according to the NHS that's an English medical body soft cheese contain more water that can harbour bacteria that can cause problems best to stick to hard cheese !
I really want to know more about your pregnancy calender and the workout videos you are doing while pregnant!
How do you sleep at night when drinking all that water? I would be in the bathroom every 30 minutes, lol. I'm 19 weeks and craving salty items and steak :-)
Ill be in the restroom Every 10 minutes 😭
There is no way I could drink that much! I'm 12 weeks along and peeing every 15 minutes it seems. No way could I do 120 ounces
I craved citrus fruit in my 1st trimester. I want to know what kind of pregnancy food splurges you allow yourself! My weakness in the last few weeks of my pregnancy was ice cream!!
I'm not pregnant lol, but I have been loving the Harry's Tomato Soup from Costco, and they have some Chicken Pineapple Sausages that are so GOOD! I also love that it's a good time of year for fresh fruits and veggies. We have been having a lot of corn on the cob. Yum!
nlbremer Sounds tasty!
It's so fun following you in this journey 😀 thanks for sharing. X
It is so nice to see that sparkle in your eyes.
That's good your eating healthy during your pregnancy the baby weight just peels right off for some ladies and some of us just have to work a little harder but that's ok. I lost weight before I got pregnant with my 3rd child I was a size 4 and, l was a size 10 when I gave birth to him in December of 2008,by March 2009 I was a 6 and by the summer I was a size 4 again.
"I Burped" LOL That was adorable!!!!!!!!! Great video!!!
its really adorable in children. My neighbor's 3 yr old does it and announces it too. So cute!
Love these videos! Does don have a recipe you can share for the shrimp fajitas?? Look delicious!
Looks delicious and healthy! Obviously you are drinking lots of water, but I just wondered if you are drinking any tea (decaf)?
Congratulations to you, Don, & Winnie!
Hannah Mann I haven't been interested in tea at all while pregnant which is unusual for me....we'll see if my taste for it returns with the cooler weather come fall.
Peanut Butter and Dairy are huge cravings. I wish I could eat that much in a day. Are you still doing 80/20?
Does that cottage cheese have Carageen in it, I can't tolerate caragreen, it effects a lot if people. You might want to look it up.
So Organic Valley has no carageenan?
I just know as a company Organic Valley is much better than Horizon. Here is the ingredient list - Ingredients
Organic Cultured Pasteurized Skim Milk, Organic Pasteurized Cream, Organic Nonfat Milk, Salt, Citric Acid, Organic Guar Gum, Organic Locust Bean Gum, Acidophilus and Bifidus Cultures.
Ok thanks, yeah no carageenan
Good rule of thumb for pregnancy is to drink 1 oz of water per every lb that you weigh. (135lbs=135 oz of water) So as you continue to gain weight during pregnancy; add on more water :-)
looved this kind of vid. It gave me ideas of what to eat and I'm not pregnant :)
Hi Jen, sure wonder how such a little lady can drink so much water.I am not sure I am even close to that in a days time.IWish you and your baby girl much happiness.
Has Don ever filmed a video on his shrimp fajitas? They look very yummy!
Good stuff! With my daughter I could never let myself get too full or too hungry otherwise I would get so nauseous :/
Jen!! I love love love you guys! Me and my sister subscribe to your channel and have faithfully followed your journey for a couple of years now! Love your what I ate video!! It gives me ideas on what to eat! Thanks to your videos I have just discovered Ezekiel bread and love it!!
Hey PrettyNeatLiving! I am new to your channel and I like this video! I am almost done with my pregnancy so this was a helpful video for me. I am expecting my first little boy! I hope your pregnancy goes well. I am new to youtube, making videos, and I also love organizing as well so I would love to chat with you sometime and get some more organizing ideas!
You look wonderful Jen!!! Loved the video, we should all eat like this. I took some of your ideas to add into my diet, thank you. Take care............
You are looking great! I know you will manage the weight gain well...I was sooooo hungry when I was pregnant!!
What do you find is the best way to peel a hard boiled egg? I can never do it without it taking a long time :P Thanks!
Roll them a few times the shell falls off easily
beaglesrcool1 I roll mine on the counter to crack and then peel away.
Pretty Neat Living Thanks! I will give it a try :)
Lovely video and nice "menu" with really tasty,vitamined and healthfull nutriment!
Thank you for sharing..
A man who cooks, lucky you!!
Thank you for admitting that you eat something sweet because no one else acts like they eat anything but avocado toast lol. I feel so much better about my diet after seeing that you still snack too.
Your dog is adorable!
Really enjoyed the video. Hard boiled eggs are one of my favorite snacks. Anytime! :)
In the UK your are discouraged from eating soft cheeses and seafood during pregnancy...must be different in the U.S.
Leah Black I have been avoiding unpasteurized cheese/dairy. Seafood is ok if you have less than 12 pounces a week and it's cooked appropriately according to my doctor.
Leah Black Same here in Australia, the not eating fish relates to the level of Mercury in the fish.
Thanks for the video, it gave me ideas on dinner foods.
Wow! Great job with the water intake Jen!!!
do you do any tutorials on the food dinner you eat?
Don't let people around you tell you your eating too much. (except your dr!) Eating this often is a pleasure during pregnancy.
How much water do you drink in a day??
What kind of milk do you drink pls am 16weejs as well I dnt have much appetite am trying to build my appetite what should I do .
7am I would have 2 satsuma, bf around 9am I have 2 eggs with spinach pepper n mushroom with a cup of coffee. Lunch At 12/1pm would have a broccoli chicken and cabbage with glass of squash. Snack around 2 an apple. 4.30pm my smoothie (frozen berry, frozen mango, 3 dates, lil coconut oil, lil avocado oil, spoon of chia seeds, lil oats, Greek yogurt mix with water I don’t like it too thick, n a spoon of super green powder) n dinner is bowl of lentil with cucumber n tomato salad. I take all my prenatal supplements n it’s expensive boy, the omega oil itself was £30🤦🏻♀️ the supplements are natural from iherb. I try to keep it simple nutritious n give my baby a good start in life. I have a glass of milk before bed. The diet is expensive but it’s for my baby’s future investment. I’m using my saving on him. I don’t have carbs only seeded bread or brown rice if I do have it n also beans n pulses are regular in my home, chicken n lots of fish. Living in London all the bloody is damn expensive. My first pregnancy I’m 28wks n I drink over a litre of water a day that’s including all fluids but purely water I would day 800mls.
I would like to see another video like This!
Thanks for sharing
That cottage cheese with berries sounds soooo good right about now ! :)
Annette Collins it's always good to me :)
I have such a love/hate relationship with cottage cheese. I know it's extremely healthy for you, but I can't get past the texture 😕
Really ? I just love it, I put some sunflower seeds on top cause I like the crunchiness mixed with the softness of the cottage cheese. So yummy :)
Annette Collins Ooh, that sounds interesting! I might try this for a pre-gym snack this evening. Thanks for the suggestion!
:)
I love what u eating it looks so good I'm pregnant sometimes it hard for me cuz I don't eat sometime I do eat
Hey Jen!
What's the name of that water bottle? I'm in the market for a good one. :)
The brand is lifefactory. You can get them on Amazon for about $20.
Debra De Leon Tiffany Schwantes That's right! They're my favorite :)
Yay! Please do more of these!
