is eating potato chips harmful for the baby? (it's a junk food i think)

rainbow_mom · Apr 12th, 2012, 20:34 PM

help!!! I've been eating potato chips for 3 days now and I am 9weeks 5 days pregnant. I don't know if this is harmful for me and the baby. but it's the only thing i can tolerate right now because of its salty taste and a bit spicy too!

i feel guilty about it, but what can i do? it's the only food i crave right now. help!!!!

The past two days I've had Funyun chips. The salty onion flavor is very settling. And some Hot Fries chips also because of the salty and light spicey flavor. I think as long as we also have plenty of water, fruits, and some vegetables.

I've been wanting a cold pickle with hot fries but I know it's a no-no so I haven't bought it.

Chips are fine, so long as it's not the only thing you're eating and you're taking a prenatal vitamin every day. I eat chips every day lol

yeah, i try to eat fruits and veggies during my meals. and lots of water too! wow! i wish i could taste funyun chips. hahaha! i don't think they sell anything like it here in my place.

i had a large bowl of fries the other night, guilty again! but, i see to it that i eat veggies, fruits and drink plenty of water to neutralize my chips-eating. hahah!

thanks for the advice!

Sounds like you're doing fine

We gatta eat, right? Sometimes what we can keep down isn't always the healthiest, but it's calories staying down and that counts for something! Keep up the water, fruits, and veggies, and don't worry too much about the chips and fries.

YOU JUST MADE MY DAY! hahahah!

yeah, we have to eat. and i think i'll be doing fine on my second trimester. my doctor says not to worry much because stress is a big no-no to pregnancy especially on the early stage. thanks a lot! god bless you!
