Mcdonalds and pregnancy

[Shadowcat]

I craved McDonalds BIG TIME during my first pregnancy. That was years back when they used to have the "super size" option where they'd give you 2000 calories worth of fries and a 60 ounce drink too. I ate there at least twice per week! I also put on about 45 pounds!

This time (third pregnancy) I've only had a craving for it hit me once, in week 7 or so. I just HAD to have a McD's cheeseburger, so I ordered two of them and ate them both in about three minutes. Three minutes after that, out they came again.... haven't really wanted it since.

I don't eat their food there, but I do like their ice cream and shakes. I intent to buy their 50 cent cones on a regular basis during the hot summer months.

I understand craving crappy food, though. But for me, it's greasy breakfast food. I've gone to several restaurants that have breakfast all day and I order the waffles with syrup, cream and fruit - all the fixings. Bad, but so good.

I craved mcdonalds fries almost everyday when I was pregnant with one of my boys.

I'm the same, I just crave junk. I can barely stomach any healthy food atm I physically can't eat it. The best I can do is fruit juice which is better than nothing I guess. My biggest vice has been mcdonalds and chip shop (not together obviously).. I'm going to end up huge!

The mushroom swiss angus burgers have been my downfall the last week... but from the way I'm feeling right now, I think that's coming to an end!!

I can't stand the smell of fast food lol but I don't normally eat it anyway. My ob told me your babies brain is made of the fats you eat. So if our eating mc d all the time your baby is being made of that and she freaked me out saying your setting them up to be obese. But honestly I don't know what to believe these days since so much is wrong to eat etc.

I think that's somewhat like scaremongering imo. I mean I've read stories on here, and met ladies in real life who struggled to eat hardly anything and anything they could eat wasn't exactly healthy (even just living off sweets pretty much) during the 1st trimester because of nausea, food aversions and ms and they all went on to have perfect, healthy, thriving babies.

I mean obviously eating healthily is important for babies development, but if you're struggling with pregnancy symptoms then some kind of food is better than no food at all.

The only thing I craved in my last pregnancy was soft serve cones and chocolate thickshakes from mcdonalds but of course I couldn't eat them because I was pregnant!! Damn listeria!!

I really want to eat McDonalds or rather any fast food and I never eat it. But I won't allow myself because I know how bad it is. Its hard thought esp since DH loves fast food and always eats it around me. I just wanna eat it soo bad.

I'm currently obsessed with the McDonalds breakfast menu... I don't want to even think about it because it's making my mouth water... The evil thing is when I make breakfast at home I struggle to hold onto it but not with McDonalds...

I think we worry too much about our diet, I mean 50 years ago our parents/grandparents didn't have a healthy diet but they were ok,
Everything in moderation, and if we were to worry about the contents of things then take a good look at vaccines.
I LOVE kebabs for example, so does baby cos its the only thing I can stuff myself silly on (had 3 since my BFP 5 weeks ago)

So relax ladies and enjoy your McDonald's.......... Mmmmmmmm I want a sausage and egg mcmuffin now hahahah

I couldn't agree more.... I mean I could eat McDonald's everyday in reality I've had it once this week apart from anything else I can't afford to eat out on a daily basis. I normally eat healthy and I'm sure once the ms passes I'll be fine but right now fatty foods help me and I couldn't care less about how bad it is. I can feel a sausage and pancake morning coming on!!!
