During the first trimester of pregnancy most women have food aversions. So today I am going to give you a great healthy recipe that helped me with my pregnancy diet.
For me, it was around weeks 9-12 that I was a little grossed out by all food, especially protein. It was even hard to cook it for my husband. When I opened the refrigerator, I would have to look away, that’s how grossed out by food I was. Lucky for me, it was the only real symptom I had, and thank God it only lasted about 3 weeks.
Since it was the look and smell of food that bothered me, I decided to make a soup. With a soup, I could throw in all the vegetables I needed and even some chicken and then puree it. This was such a life savor, because I started feeling bad that I wasn’t giving my baby enough nutrients.
So her it goes, this recipe is going to help maintain a healthy pregnancy diet even when you don’t feel like eating.
This recipe is just a strategy to help you with your pregnancy diet. You can use whatever vegetables and protein you would like. You can even use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Get creative! This helped me so much with my pregnancy diet those few weeks that I had aversion to all foods!
