Easy ways to eat more please!
I don’t think I’m eating enough at 17 weeks pregnant, or at least not enough of the good stuff. Would it be helpful to add a couple of protein shakes or similar to my day? I’m looking for something quick and easy. I’d love to be able to make smoothies but I just won’t be able to do this realistically. I’ve got some soups which I’m trying to eat as well as my lunch, but yeah…would love to hear ideas!
Thanks!

I am most definitely not eating enough thanks to my hg being extremely severe and my ob recommended that I start drinking ensure so I can start gaining weight for mine and baby’s sake. I think he’s it would be helpful for you to add protein shakes and little snacks such as yogurts, almonds, apple slices with peanut butter. I myself just started trying all those hopefully it helps
thanks! Never really drank protein shakes for the right reasons before so unsure if it would work for my need but sounds like it might. I’ve also remembered I did buy a bag of nuts to snack on the other day but I had forgotten! Good to know this is the right track. I’m just not hungry enough at the moment, and if I force myself to eat, I feel sick!
Try oatmeal, boil some eggs the day before to have in fridge , have like premade meals or try to meal prep
I found eating little and often helped.
Just be careful of the protein shake mix you get. There are some you can’t have in pregnancy
