Q: Any Suggestions On Nutritional Diet

Wow I breezed through my first pregnancy @ the age of 22 with out being sick a day. Ate anything and everything(with passion), and felt so full of energy. Then bounced right back in to shape post-partum.

Now @ the age of 30 I am 7 weeks pregnant.

I am so hungry, even right now I am hungry! But the thought of food makes me nauseated. Nothing tastes good. Nothing even sounds good.
If I eat I feel sick, if I don't eat I feel sick. (but have not been vomiting)
i have been living on mashed potatos, oatmeal, toast and boost. I am a nurse..And realize to the fullest extent just how unhealthy this is.

I have never been a big red-meat eater. I prefer ocean food-oysters, crab, fish, shrimp- but can not get past the smell while being pregnant.
My sugar levels somehow remains normal, my iron is good, but I am dizzy all the time.
Any (any) suggestions on a good nutritional diet or website. I am starving and can't find anything to satisfy me.

Do you like foods like tofu? It seems like you want softer things and tofu will taste like whatever you cook it in, I love it! Or what about fruits? Are they making you sick? Crackers and hummus are good, yogurt (although I am not even pregnant and sometimes yogurt sounds gross to me!)
i am on a very special diet of no dairy, meat, seafood or wheat. Fun right!!
I sneak in some dairy and wheat sometimes though. I would maybe go walk around a grociery store and see what looks good.
But like I said I am not pregnant so I don't know from experience.
Good luck though, I hope you feel better.

Food

Sounds like you are just miserable! I am very sorry to hear that. It sounds like you and the baby aren't getting enough nutrients from food alone. A supplement, multivitamin or something along those lines I am sure would help wonders. I am a personal trainer, as well as a personal wellness coach with the company herbalife. My boyfriends aunt all through her 2 pregnancies lived on the herbalife products, and her kids turned out to be some of the healthiest most intelligent kids I have ever met. She took the vitamins, drank the protein smoothies, and got all the proper nutrients for her and the baby and she had a very comfortable pregnancy. I would love to talk more with you.
