[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been eating fairly healthy (5+ servings of fruits/veggies) but still eating carbs probably 4 times per day (either 1-2 pieces of bread, or 1-2 servings of brown rice, and 1 handful of Fritos (craving the salt!)).  I've had some stomach issues, and on those days I drink full-sugar gatorade.

Well, I went in for my 20 week scan two weeks ago.  Turns out my baby is underweight, and I got sent to a specialist.  I've been told to increase the amount of red meat, carbs, other protein, and anything the baby wanted including Fritos or gatorade.

Background - I have a higher BMI normally; 10 lbs above normal.  During pregnancy, I had not gained any maternal weight from 12 to 20 weeks.  I also normally have a huge sweet tooth, but have only craved salty things since becoming pregnant.  I have terrible heartburn, so I have to eat tiny meals or else I get bad nausea/heartburn.

Talk to you provider, but I'm supposed to be going to town on anything I/baby want.  You should follow the guidance of your provider on what to eat so that you are comfortable.   [/quote]

There’s nothing wrong with carbs![/quote]
