Lays potato chips in first trimester

Hey everyone! I’m 5 weeks pregnant and just had half a bag of lays potato chips!! I knew I should be eating healthy but I was really craving this and it wasn’t in the “foods to avoid” list so I had no idea how bad it was !! I’m kinda worried now, is my baby gonna be ok??

You’ll be fine don’t worry I eat a lot of chips myself too

You aren’t really “eating for your baby” until 2nd trimester. My doctor told me as long as you start watching or keeping an eye on what you eat. “1st trimester is a freebie”

As long as it’s not on the don’t eat you should be fine!

Craving salty foods is so natural- i love simply salted skinny pop if you want to eat more of something for the same calories like me, ha. I just read that some think if you don't have food cravings outside of pregnancy, you're more likely to crave salty food during. And if you have do food cravings outside of pregnancy, during you'll want sweet things. I've been cravings sweets myself! Lots of berries ha

I'm having a food aversion to spinach salads. I used to eat them all the time. I also am finding myself wanting sweets more than I ever had. I typically prefer salty snacks but lately alls I want is desserts 🙈

I also ate 2 bags of chips yesterday 🙈 , craving salty stuff

I was just recommended by my ob to have lays potato chips for morning sickness!

I don’t feel that bad anymore! Ha!

saaaame here!!! Lol

that’s interesting!! Thanks for sharing! This makes me feel less guilty now lol

I’m 5 weeks and 2 days and so far I feel okay. Just a little tired… I’ve heard mild cramping is usually nothing to worry about but I hope you feel better soon and that you and the baby are healthy and safe 🙏

I try to eat lays potato chips in hopes of settling my “morning” sickness with no luck but they still taste good, I’ve never heard that you shouldn’t eat chips during pregnancy 🤔🤔

I wanted chips again today, worst thing is I see somebody in the office eating chips and I want them too

Is coke ok too ? I just saw somebody drinking a coke, I don’t even drink coke ever lol and I am craving for a coke is that bad ?! 🙈

my drs have only said to “limit caffeine” if they say 1 cup of coffee a day is ok then I’m sure a soda here & there is ok too

thank you

I’m 6 weeks pregnant and been eating chips and salty stuff I been craving . Don’t stress yourself about it hun eat healthy stuff as well and not just junk food and you will be fine sweetie

Anxiety

I’m 10 weeks and I have had so much anxiety probably for the last 2-3 weeks I already deal with anxiety but it was a tad bit easier shaking it off when I wasn’t pregnant.. I am on medication but doesn’t seem to be doing much tbh— I see a lot of yall say it’s a first trimester thing but this is my 3rd baby and I don’t remember being this anxious especially bc sometimes I’m just laying and heart rate reaches the the 120s am I the only one? Please help with suggestions. I don’t want to feel like this.. I know pregnancy is hard but fudge this makes it’s harder 😔😔😔

Owlet sock worth it?

Anyone use the owlet sock for newborn? Is it worth the price and what are some pros / cons?

Boy or girl?

I’ve just discovered the nub theory and this is my 4th baby. Anyone take a guess?

So ready for second trimester 🥲

I really really hate the first trimester. It’s exhausting, no appetite, not enough hours to get the amount of sleep I need, headaches, smell sensitivity, and overall just feeling like crap! And I don’t want to announce anything until 14 weeks since I’ve had losses before, and it’s getting really hard to hide it from my friends. Two more weeks to go….

Just needed to vent to others who understand!

39 weeks pregnant FTM

39 weeks baby hasn’t come yet and I am just full of anxiety. I am trying to relax. I am trying to chill, but I can’t chill. I do not want to be induced. I would love to have her natural. Issue is I am tight down there and petite and baby is measuring big like the head especially. I know that measurements can be off. But I have photos! And she is a chunk. This is so unpredictable. How do I just put my faith forward and trust in God and how do I let go of this anxiety? I am doing fine and then boom it hits me and I want to ball my eyes out. I am trying to treat myself and do little things but driving or doing anything is so hard now and I’m so huge and uncomfortable …I’m at my breaking point 😭

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.
