Thread: 1 month along.

First of all Congrats!!

I just had my daughter almost a month ago and have a two year old son. Eating good healthy foods is the best thing you can do for baby. Lots of fruits and veggies. I drank tons of water with lemon in it and juice but don't over do the juice since it can raise your blood sugar and cause problems. I also drank lots of milk and I did drink decaf ice tea which helped with my coffee craving. Basically you want to eat/drink everything healthy that is healthy. They also say eat things that children maybe allergic too like peanut butter.

Maybe go to your local book store and look at books on pregnancy which alot of them include menu's on good food/meals.

Best of Luck!!

Thanks, I want this pregnancy to run so smoothly. I dont want to take any chances.

Congratulations. H&H 9months!!!!!
I would google Kellymom. Its a great place has lots of info!

Okay thanks. I am so excited for this. I am still getting used to the idea I am pregnant as I think it might end in another miscarriage. But as far as I know to a website(due date calculator) I am 6 weeks along and am due October 13th. Will keep everyone posted

First of all... CONGRATULATIONS....
I know what you are going through, my first pregnancy I had a miscarriage and I was fearful of trying again. I waited 6 years and it was the most planned pregnancy in the world. My second pregnancy went very smooth and I had a beautiful healthy baby boy. How long ago was your miscarriage? How far along were you when you miscarried? I was never told the reason for my miscarriage, I guess it was just one of those things?
As far as things to eat and drink...
Milk (you need the calcium and vitamin D) fruit juices, V8, anything healthy. You want to stay away from too much caffeine. Since you are hooked on coffee, quitting cold turkey will make you irritable, tired, and may give you headaches so I would decrease slowly, or switch to decaffineted (try mixing 1/2 reg and 1/2 decaf and each day increase the amount of decaf and reduce the amount of regular etc...)
Often times they say that your body craves what it needs, and I tend to believe that. When I was pregnant I craved cheese, veggies, fruit. I am not a big milk drinker and I think craving cheese was my body's way of getting dairy.
There are a LOT of great sites out there for pregnancy, just google it. There are even sites that let you make a scrapbook of your pregnancy. If you have trouble finding them send me a private message and I'll find the site for you.
Congratulations once again and good luck.
