Hi. I know I need more veggies and more calcium. I can't stand to drink milk or even string cheese. I've been having nausea and a sick feeling in my stomach, part of pregnancy. The funny thing is I used to love vegetables before I got pregnant. Now I can't stand them. I take a prenatal vit. but only either at night or afternoon, it makes me sick if I take it in the morning.
Any suggestions on what to eat?

How about fruit? Or what about incorporating your veggies into your meals (one dish type meals packed with veggies or soups). I haven't been crazy about veggies most of my pregnancy, but find if I sneak them into my main meal, they aren't so bad.

I have tried to incorporate it into meals and the same thing----- the vegetables were left on the plate. Maybe I need to puree it :-) . Now, I like fruit and I've been eating lots of fruits, but fruits have a lot of sugar in them.
Hopefully this veggie aversion won't stay!

for me the key to not being nautious was just keeping something in my belly all the time as soon as i felt the least bit hungry i felt so sick.

i'm the same way! someone suggested drinking v8,i'm not sure but i think it probably tastes grosser then eating veges! i love veges to, i was practically evegetarian now all i crave is meat! another thing you can do is blend some romaine lettuce or other kinds of veges and add like 4 x the fruit ( 2 being frozen fruits) it tastes a lot better.

The veggie thing is hard, but maybe smother them in something good like ranch dressing or butter or even fried (like fried cabbage)??? and if you can't do dairy then try eating a tums, they have the extra calcium you need, of course eating real dairy products is the better way to go, but in the mean time it might work!

I have the same issue--LOVED veggies before and can't hanle them now. I know its not good but I have been avoiding fresh veggies only b/c it seems once something goes bad, that is what sticks in my head. Like my broccoli got mushy and gooey so I bought new broccoli, but I kept thinking about the mushy broccoli so I couldn't eat the good stuff. And I have been trying to "hide" veggies...like in a chicken and dumpling casserole where I can't see them. And for some reason I can handle salads just fine so if hot veggies aren't working this might be worth a try.
