I want a low-calorie diet.

I want to get pregnant. However, I have a very bad diet...?

  • i hardly eat vegetables, i eat about 2 times a day, and snacks in between (but not good snacks)... my question is, do you absolutely have to have a great diet to have a healthy child? throughout my life ive never had a good diet.. my other question is.. if i dont have a good diet, can the vitamin pills do? i mean can they replace the bad diet? if it includes enough folic acid or even more than 400 mcg?? thanks, your answers are appreciated.

  • Answer:

    heh, I'm an extremely picky eater. I eat ZERO veggies, unless its tomatoe soup or my grandmother's potato soup (which is mashed to no end, almost like baby food). And the only fruit that I eat is a banana, once in a great while, or fruit juice (condensed). Anyway, I hate to admit it, but yes, of course a poor diet is going to affec the health of our eggs. If you think about it, we're not putting the right kind of nutrients in our bodies, which would help build and sustain healthy eggs. If we do become pregnant, we are not only eating for ourselves, we're eating for an infant, that needs nutrients, so yes, it will affect us. Vitimans will absolutely help supliment the ones you're not getting. And i know this next piece of advice seems easier to say that do, but both of us need to start slowly eating right, other wise, we may never have the blessing of a child. Good luck!

prenatal vitamins are only a supplement to a healthy pregnancy diet. their are vital nutrients you need to eat in order for proper development of your baby. if you are just a finnicky eater i have a great idea for you. there is a new book out by jessica seinfeld called deceptively delicious. it is for feeding your kids but anyone can use the recipes. it is a was to eat delicious foods (brownies, etc) and also get you veggies. if you have an unhealthy diet due to dieting issues i would recommend coming to terms with that before you decide to get pregnant - a time when your number one concern is the well being of your unborn child. good luck!

You don't have to have an outstanding diet to have a healthy baby. I don't eat as good as I should. However, I am more aware of what I'm eating during my pregnancy. I don't think there will be any woman that will tell you she ONLY eats exactly what she should. With that said, try to slowly introduce more nutritious foods into your diet. Also try eating smaller and more frequent meals throughout the day. Prenatal vitamins do NOT replace eating good foods. Doing both though will help to ensure a more healthy pregnancy.

I don't mean to sound like the negative nancy, but you must eat a healthy diet to ensure a healthy babe. That means whole grains, protein, dairy, 9 servings of veggies and 6 of fruits in *addition* to your prenatal vitamin and omega suppliments. You will be doing yourself, and your unborn to change your eating habbits.

My doctor said that you should start making healthier choices when you learn you are pregnant. BUT on the other hand she also told me that she's treated women who have tried to drink alcohol, do drugs, and starve themselves at times....and they gave birth to a healthy baby. Sounds crazy, but I believe it. I have to believe that there is a higher power who has control over most of reproduction. Eat more veggies and fruit, take your vitamins, and folic acid and don't stress. You'll be fine girlie!
