[quote=Anonymous]My OB and then a dietician I was referred to for gestational diabetes, both stressed the need to eat protein to build the baby.  :)   I was also a big believer in omega 3s and choline for brain development.  Choline is in eggs -- are they something you like?  I ate a lot of eggs...

How about veggies in your diet?  Do you get enough dark leafy greens?  Your carrot chickpea soup sounds delicious, so I'm not sure any of my staples are as elegant, but this is what I ate while pregnant:

Plain oatmeal with berries.  Apples.
Egg and cheese sandwich on whole grain english muffin.  Plus fruit.

Big salad for lunch, often with grilled chicken on top.  A side veggie (from the office cafeteria).

Cheese sticks and apples or banana for mid-afternoon snack.

For dinner it could be anything.  Black bean burritos in whole wheat tortillas.  Add any veggie and seasoning you like in there with it.  I used pepper jack cheese melted and fresh salsa.  Again with a steamed veggie, salad, or both.

Some soups I liked were curried cauliflower and broccoli soup, baby red potato chowder with whatever veggies you want to throw in, and a spicy lentil soup made with the yellow lentils.
