Abbey, could you one day do a video on how to raise kids to have a healthy relationship with food? As someone with an ED that I very much believe was taught to me by my parents, I would really appreciate this...
Yes please!!!
Yes this is good. My 12 year old daughter’s best friend just got put on a restrictive diet and has to run every morning at 6am because her grandfather says she is overweight. My heart is broken for her. There is nothing about her that’s overweight and they are literally predestining her to have disordered eating.
Holly Farnell
Wow... that poor girl. She deserves better. What are her parents doing?!
I second this!!! I have some nieces who need factual diet info and not bull crap fed by older adults who tell them to fast!! Burns me up to see one particular niece who is already showing signs of anorexia. And the person advocating this is a former nurse whom you’d think would know better.
Seconding, I know some of my BED issues stem from my parents' 'Clean Plate' demands.
why am I watching this? I'm 21 years old. I'm no where near having a baby. Im not even in a relationship. Lol, I guess I just love ya Abbey girl
Lauren Bennett saameeee xD
Knowledge is power
I am 14 lol
I'm 17😂
😂Glad you enjoyed!
I always thought "eating for two" was just the excuse we use when we want to justify our cravings! I'd be terrified to try to actually eat that much!
I find that I’m “eating for two” now that my baby is 6 months old and breastfeeding makes you haaangry
Jessica Mayne funnily enough, I think you need more calories when breastfeeding than when pregnant based on this video (might want to fact check that though, heck I don’t know anything about breastfeeding)
I'm 30 weeks pregnant. At no time during this pregnancy did I have the capacity to eat any more than normal. Now I don't even have the room for how much I used to eat. A snack or two a day sneaks in though.
@@bellab5596 that's true! I was taught in nursing school that you need an extra 200 calories on top of the extra calories you were consuming while pregnant if you're breastfeeding.
Lauren Pietrasko hey! Congratulations on your pregnancy! I’m 38 weeks today and Im curious to know if you’re having a boy or a girl. One of my most noticeable symptoms from the very beginning even before i knew I was pregnant was an increased appetite. I’m having a boy and Ive seen here and there that higher appetite is more common with a boy.
WORK. THAT. WRAP. DRESS. GURLLLLLL
❤️❤️
I'm obsessed with her pregnancy fashion!
I'm a dude but my older sister is pregnant, so I think it'd be nice to send her this.
Hope it is helpful!
So sweet!
That’s sweet of you!!
Laura M Thank you! Haha.
KittySnicker Thanks! ☺️
I literally got so much joy out of Abbey rapping fish names.
😂🤣😂
👍😂
Yes, and the herbal teas too - combine them, and you got a hit song on your hands LOL
Reminds me of Marshall in HIMYM doing stand-up comedy :)) "Cod. That's right. Salmon. Let me say that again - salmon."
I’m ADDICTED to coffee. Taste, effect, everything. But when I was pregnant I couldn’t even look at it. So weird
Me too!!!! I'm pregnant right now and have barely drank any. Even the smell makes me gag
I'm pretty sure most pregnant women who say "I'm eating for two now" and then consume extra are just joking, at least most of the people I've heard are saying it that way...
ive been on a pregnancy video kick lately (im far from being pregnant) but honestly I find it so so interesting!! I definitely have my own misconceptions about pregnancy diets and Im glad you could clear things up!!!
So glad it is helpful!
Thank you so much for this. As someone with a long history of restriction I tend to gain big when I eat “ normally” in pregnancy. It’s so nice to hear a more nuanced and holistic approach than simply “don’t gain anything in the first trimester” which is just not possible for some of us.
Note to self- never getting pregnant so I can keep having my nightly chamomile.
😂
I just found out I’m pregnant and my dr went over all the important health and nutritional factors I need to follow because I am obese. However, I have lost weight the past 2 months because of intuitive eating and I’m following the same guidelines now(sorta). So far I haven’t been hungry and I’ve been having some food aversion so I have to remind myself to actually eat. Yesterday I couldn’t hold food down and I’m sure I lacked calories and nutrition I needed for the day but today I’m eating everything but making sure it’s healthy. This video was helpful in continuing my healthy journey during this pregnancy.
evelyn gonzalez congratulations!!! I was really sick during the fist half of my pregnancy too, just make sure you’re staying hydrated and taking your prenatal! When I was really sick and not able to keep anything down, drinking things with electrolytes really helped me.
Thanks for sharing your experience. So glad it was helpful!
Your appetite may pick up during 2nd trimester, but may fall off again during the 3rd. Try eating small meals frequently, or as soon as you wake up, drink water and eat some crackers before you even get out of bed. I know that my nausea was always worse before I ate something. I'm in my 3rd trimester right now, and I am considered overweight, but you just want to make sure you're not gaining too much weight. Average weight gain for someone who is overweight shouldn't exceed 30lbs, but it's different for everyone and weight does fluctuate. The only reason I would say you should watch weight gain is just to reduce complications during labor. Going on walks and doing low-impact activity will help with labor and delivery too. Stretching is also so wonderful, I feel much better after stretching. If/when you start to feel better, that's just what I recommend. But I'm not a professional anything, I'm just a first-time-mom in the 3rd trimester giving tips that helped me.
I was obese during my pregnancy and being intuitive was so important for me and I just ate healthy. My morning sickness lasted the entire pregnancy. So I love 40 lbs by the end of my pregnancy.
I love this!!! I’d love to see a video debunking myths or addressing common diets for common health problems such as what foods and supplements are actually beneficial/harmful for liver/heart/colon health.
Thanks for the suggestion
The myths are so damaging ! Causing anxiety as to whether we are harmimg baby. We are all trying our best! Thanks Abbey, good video. Xxx
I am suprised chamomile is on the no herbal tea list! Xxxx
Glad it was helpful!
Yay! Thanks for posting so much honest, reliable content! It is really helping me through the extended lockdown/distancing.
I'm so glad it is helpful!
Out of desperation, when I was nearly two weeks "overdue" with my first baby, I ate an entire raw pineapple in one sitting. It was delicious... but I had some serious acid burn for a few days. Ha! And, no, it didn't jump start my labor... she came at exactly 42 weeks, ferocious and hungry :).
Love this so much! Thanks Abbey 💕
I'm not even pregnant but all of your videos are informative. Hopefully one day I will be able to have a baby.
I'm so glad!
So excited to have found this video to recommend to my doula clients to help start conversations and ask questions to their healthcare providers!
Hi Abbey, hope you don't mind me asking, what is it that you take prednisone for and do you feel it's affected your pregnancy in any way? Thanks :)
Thank you so much for this! I absolutely love your videos.
I'm 8 weeks expecting twins and have been struggling on knowing what to eat and how much.
I've always been a small eater with a small frame but I want to do as much as I possibly can for these twins.
So glad they are helpful. I'll have a look
I’m 33 weeks pregnant and if I ate double portions I would throw up.
I'm 33 weeks too, and I've only (subconsciously) upped my calories by maybe 300 or so. Somedays I'm eating the same as I did before I was pregnant.
Whatever works for you
Please react to the TV show Supersize vs Superskinny! This is a must react
So helpful Abbey, thank you!!
I'm so glad!
When you’re a lesbian and have plans to only adopt with your girlfriend but watch it anyway cuz it’s abby and informational af
😂👍
I’d love a video on Becky Excell! As someone newly diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, I’d love your thoughts on FODMAPS, eating for flares, and etc.
I'll have a look
@@AbbeysKitchen that would be awesome.. i have lives with gastritis and colitis all my life. and boy one food is good for me one day and another day it is my worst enemy. for example pea nut butter. i love it but i hate it too. 😭
I can see the rightest ways to sleep well during pregnancy. Thanks so much for this video!
Great Pregnancy Diet Blog, Abbey!❤️
❤️❤️
Love your videos and super informative! Thank you!
BTW I love your dress where did you get it?
I feel like we needed a diet Debbie collab for this 😂
😂😂
Love this! Thank you for sharing your wisdom 💜😊👶
Glad it is helpful 😊
Great video! We were learning about childhood and prenatal nutrition in class. I wish you could just do a video series version of my textbook :)
I didn’t know Chamomile wasn’t safe during pregnancy.. interesting
Glad it was helpful
My mom drank only camomile while pregnant, that is the only drink that didn't get her to puke. Me and my brother are fine (25 and 22 years now)
Thank you for adding in the *people edit. So great to be inclusive!
😊👍
This was comforting. As an expectant mama EVERYONE has an opinion and makes comments about "eating for two". I'm sticking with intuitive eating and taking my prenatal vitamins. :)
Also, I LOVE your dress! Where did you get it!?
Thanks for the coffee info! I just had a loss in April and we're doing a medicated cycle this time so I guess it's time to cut back. I only have a regular travel mug size but I want to be on the cautious side like you. 😊
Women go through so much will pregnant, thank you for clarifying all those myths.
excited to watch!!
😊
Abbey, thank you for what you are doing on this platform. You are using it to tear down so many unhealthy ideas, habits and trends surrounding something so important and vital - food.
For years I've struggled with a confusing eating disorder. I fear under-eating, but I also under-eat, because of the anxiety. I've been incredibly under weight before and I'm always afraid of going back to that. Thankfully for the last year I have been a very healthy thicc weight :)
Videos like the ones you make, help me feel normal. Help calm my anxiety surrounding food. I feel more ready to just eat mindfully. Not stress about is this enough food? Is this too much? Will I be too full to eat anything more today and therefore under eat?
I saw your what I eat in a day where you had two breakfasts; peanut butter toast and then baked eggs. It blew my mind. I always try to over stuff myself to make sure I don't under eat, but the idea of just having smaller portions spread throughout the day never occurred to me. Everyone's diets on the internet are always so coordinated, thought-out and planned.
Thank you so much for just helping food make sense again. I really appreciate what you do.
Thank you for sharing. I'm so glad it is helpful!
I have a question for you regarding the prenatal vitamin mykind organics. It is by Garden of Life. It is a prenatal once daily. It contains “Folate (from Organic Food Blend 600 mcg DFE).” Is this the kind of folate that I should be taking? There are SO many prenatal vitamins on the market and it is so confusing trying to choose one with the right form of the the vitamins and that does not contain dyes or sugars. Please help!
I cant believe I watched this a couple weeks ago and yesterday I got my positive pregnancy test and couldn't remember anything from your wise recommendations except for the acceptable coffee. 😩
Now im ready to take notes 📝
Thank you for this video!!
Wait so you shouldn't drink chamomile tea during pregnancy? I feel like that should be more well-known info since it's a common remedy for nausea?
I agree! My doctor has it listed on a list of acceptable sleep aids too! I miss chamomile so much but haven’t touched it since I found out I was pregnant. Thankfully we can do our own research these days.
Right?! I was so surprised to see that listed!
Learned a lot. Thanks!
So glad!
As always another great video! I’m 19 weeks today and have been craving grapes and strawberries so badly. Definitely two things that I allow myself to indulge in!!
Yum!
Hi Abbey! I'm not pregnant currently, but at 31, I am of child-bearing age. I take the Vitamin Code Multi for women daily, but curious if I should switch to a prenatal vitamin. Are the differences drastic? Thanks!
Abbey, could you give some advice/do a video on whether supplements can prevent/reduce the risk of a miscarriage? My interest in the topic was provoked by two videos I watched from the CZcams channel Nourish with Melanie, one entitled How to prevent miscarriage and the other How to reduce the risk of miscarriage. The first claimed that one can prevent miscarriage by having a balanced diet but also that eating butter could cause a miscarriage, so one should not eat butter. The second video claimed that B3 and choline can prevent recurring miscarriage from happening.
I have maintained a balanced and healthy diet during my two pregnancies that both ended in a missed miscarriage. Now I am 4+ weeks pregnant again and feel scared. I am wondering whether I should take B3 and choline as supplements and could these cause toxicity if I am already getting my daily needs through food? I am currently taking metylfolate every day and benign iron + vit C once/twice a week. Also, does it make any sense that butter is not safe during pregnancy? I did sometimes have ghee during my failed pregnancies. Thank you so much!!!
Hi!! Love the video! Can you make one of what I eat in a day while pregnant? Idk if I’m getting all the nutrients that I need and I am not the best cook so it’s difficult for me to make different meals everyday🙊 I need some ideas .. thank you ☺️
Are there any specific brands of prenatal vitamins that you recommend? Especially for someone with PCOS. Thanks!
Not an expert, but my midwives said the costco prenatals are good. And you save a bit of money.
This topic is on the list to discuss
Amazing video! Thank you 🙏🏻 always struggle with bring a pescatarian and the fear of mercury buildup.
I eat less when I pregnant, it’s very strange. I don’t get cravings just horrific aversions, it’s miserable!
love your videos!! :)
Great video and full of great info ! Not pregnant and nowhere near haha but it's interesting and it's knowledge I'll take that anyday!
And I have to say this dress/top looks AMAZING on you!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this! TTC right now and had one prior miscarriage so trying to have the healthiest pregnancy possible for whenever it happens.
Glad it is helpful
Thank you, Abbey! Where did you get this dress! You look so pretty!
Meat is absolutely necessary! Vegan babies are suffering
Correct. My best friend is a stem scientist with a degree in microbiology. He is going back to school to get his degree in nutritional sciences. We are both very supportive of permaculture and regenerative agriculture for environmental and nutritional reasons which includes the rotational grazing of animals. There are stories after stories of babies and kids dying or being severely malnourished from extreme vegan diets. It's now outlawed in some countries including Italy I think. We need omega 3 fatty acids and B12 and Heme Iron...there are many nutrients found in abundance in animal products that you cannot get from plant based products at all or are in much smaller amounts. I cook in grass fed beef tallow and lard and coconut oil. Unfortunately there's alot of nutritional misinformation. saturated animal fats are saitating and filling and healthy and helps with sugar and junk food cravings. There's no real evidence showing it causes heart disease and is actually beneficial. What we serve kids in school's are a joke..full of sugar and hydrogenated oils and excessive carbs and no fat. But yeah..there are babies born with holes in there brain's from a lack of B12. Supplementing is necessary if your a vegan. But wouldn't it be better to just eat meat and dairy? I'm allergic to dairy and my friends allergic to soy. So we don't eat those. But yeah.. Abby's glossing over a very important topic that needs a whole show..not just a 2 minute clip.
Since being pregnant I eat less than what I used to eat.. I get full so fast
Wait, what's wrong with chamomile tea? I've been drinking it during pregnancy and I've told my Certified Nurse Midwives about it, and no one told me it was problematic at all. I've read that it's good to drink at night if you have trouble sleeping, too (pregnant or not).
Ooooh, answered my own question. It apparently contains a small amount of an abortifacient compound that could cause preterm uterine contractions if ingested in large enough quantities. My OB team probably wasn't concerned because I only have a cup here or there.
So happy I don't have to give up salmon and tilapia!! I've been craving it so bad this pregnancy.
I've read some articles online that say that some decaf coffees can potentially cause miscarriage. I'm assuming this isn't true? I'm pregnant now and would love a decaf latte, but I'm not sure if it's okay!
I’m 30 weeks pregnant with my 2nd, was intuitive eating prior to pregnancy, and but literally can’t stop eating because my appetite is so ravenous and likely have doubled my calories from pre-pregnancy/first trimester. I’ve been packing on the pounds since 16 weeks and I can’t stop it. The days I don’t eat as much as my appetite wants, I end up sooo hungry at night, wake up from headaches and muscle cramps. So idk what to do but I’ve surpassed my weight gain limit for this pregnancy and have 6-9 weeks left 🙃
Girl, i feel ya. I easily doubled my calories then the heartburn kicked in the last couple weeks. I drank a gallon of milk a day. I was able to chill out last 3 weeks with a ton of water and calories around 2100 a day
I’m right there with you. I’m 38 weeks and the ravenous hunger has subsided some (nerves mostly I think) but i still get cravings and bouts of extreme hunger nearly everyday!! I’m trying to listen to my body but my body is telling me to eat like there’s no tomorrow! Looking forward to when my babe is here and things change all over again for us 🥴 congratulations on your pregnancy!! Best of luck to you
Any tips on what to eat when you have HG? My OB pretty much told me good luck with that, and didn’t really offer any ideas. I’ve tried eating small meals, cold ones, ginger things, mint things, super bland foods, and haven’t had luck keeping much down. I’m 17 weeks, this is my 3rd baby, and I still have to try to have the energy to be a full time stay at home mom of a 4 year old and 2 year old. I am in the states, and insurance isn’t easy, you’re kind of stuck with what they dictate as far as doctors go 😐
Hey Abby! Could you do a video on Chloe Ting’s what I eat in a day videos? She is a CZcamsr who released a viral 2 week shred workout plan recently. She also has some videos on what she eats to “stay slim”. I would love you thoughts on her content, because, from what I can tell, although her messaging may at times be problematic, her recipes look like good options.
Chloe is on her list :)
Coming up soon!
Not pregnant, but any thoughts on protein powder while pregnant? I like making protein oats or smoothies with protein powder but I’ve heard it’s not always safe while pregnant
You can do it :)
Im vegan, and i want to get pregnant, could you do a video about the suplements or What you recomend To a safty pregnancy?? Love your channel
Thanks for the suggestion
I need some thoughts and opinions from other moms: this is my first baby, and at my last appointment they said I have intrauterine growth restriction. At 36 weeks my baby is 4 lbs 14 oz according to the ultrasound. I follow a mainly whole foods vegan diet with plenty of protein and fats along with a prenatal a few times a week. It got me thinking is my baby actually “too small” or is the average baby much bigger than they’re meant to be because of the way most Americans eat especially while pregnant? Also they are saying they want to induce me soon to get him out and growing to a “normal size” even though there’s nothing wrong with him. They even said my cord flow was at maximum. I’m thinking of refusing to be induced. By 40 weeks he could gain the fat he needs to be “normal birth size” which is at least 5 lbs 8 oz. he’s not far from that, but I’m freaking out, and I don’t want to make the wrong choice. If anyone else had babies that were “too small” please share your stories. I need some encouragement!
I just realized, the reason I’ve been super hungry in my first trimester is because I was eating 1500 cal. I have aversion to meat and dairy milk, avocado, yogurt, chicken. I have to hide eggs and chicken in my food to mask the flavor and add protein.
You look so pretty, Abbey!
Thank you!
Abbey please tell me where you got this dress?
So if I want to eat chicken sushi that'll be fine? It's just the fish that makes it iffy to eat during pregnancy not the nori as well???
i was craving this white pickled fish thats rolled up in the glas sooooo much when I was in my third trimester. My son is 2 and very well developed, but I havent eaten it since
This video is great thank you. Future video suggestion. Tia Clair Toomey’s most recent what I eat in a day ! Thanks !!!
Haha oh no please, we know exactly what Abbey will say about that 🤦🏼♀️
My mom was a cop in mexico while she was pregnant, the adrenaline could have affected the baby?
The baby was me by the way 😂 and I had have mental health problems like anorexia and depression... also my dad had some panic attacks so I sometimes think its kind of hereditary
Can you do a video on “diet” and breastfeeding please?
Off topic but can someone answer me this. When do I start counting days to my next period, the day it comes or when it stops..? To know how long my cycle is🤔
the day it comes
First drop = first day
I just like to use an app. It won’t be extremely accurate, but I find it helpful.
The start of your cycle is the day you start your period. The end of your cycle is the day before you start your next period.
I’m 29 and married and not looking forward to restricting coffee when I get pregnant 😞😡
I've been told I can't eat calf live while pregnant. Is that real? I do cook all my meat well well done because I fear parasites but even well done is liver safe. I have low iron levels and liver makes me feel so great even better than just an iron supplement.
Hi Abbey! 💖 Could you please search for ”what I eat in a day restriction” on youtube and maybe do a video about some of those videos? I just found them accidentaly and I’m honestly shook! It’s mostly young girls who are, in my opinion, literally glorifying ED’s. Almost all of them eat less than 500 kcal a day. It’s horrible to watch, and extremely triggering!! 😣
I'll have a look
“Eat for two” is an excuse to get fat and cover the cravings. I’m 15 weeks pregnant, I’m eating pretty good HCC meals and snacks and I haven’t needed to over eat, I’m not extra hungry and I’m not having those crazy cravings.
At around 6:35 she said women, but added *people* as a correction. Using terms coined by this new transgender ideology is hurtful towards women. Will not be recommending Abbey Sharpe to anyone moving forward. Very disappointing.
Hey! I was wondering if you'd be interested in doing a video on food/weight gain on HRT. My doctor told me there shouldn't be a change in the amount of food I need, but I definitely noticed an increase in cravings.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Can you please talk about coconut oil I have heard a lot of different things about it and it would be really helpful❤️
I discuss this topic in a video on my channel: czcams.com/video/lQh7caJ7MWE/video.html at 12:40
Hey Abbey can you do a video reacting to some of tabitha brown’s recipes?
On the list
What about cured meats and cheeses? Love to have an occasional cheese platter, but I've heard you shouldn't eat stuff like salami, prosciutto, blue cheese etc? I'm not pregnant but, me and the husband are thinking seriously about it once the pandemic ends.
Yes! I was wondering about this too! We are in the same boat.
I'm wondering if this advice varies from country to country?
Soft cheese when pregnant is a no-no in the UK and Australia, but is apparently fine in France.
I have a French friend who swears she ate her body weight in Camembert when pregnant, with her doctor's approval.
The concern with cured meats and blue cheese etc is listeria.
Instead, just think about "eating for you and your baby".
Now if I could just get rid of my overwhelming craving for raw salmon 😭
How about supplementing with high concentration omega-3? Very likely this is what you're craving!!😊
@@TheCloudmaker88 I already have been. Emulsified fish oil is the bomb, but it does nothing for the cravings. I couldn't care less about cooked salmon, smoked salmon, etc.
Aaah, I wonder why then!!
My dr told me that if it was sushi grade raw fish it’s fine
😂😂
Thank you so much Abbey for editing in *people to make the video inclusive! For anyone confused about the use of pregnant people rather than pregnant women, I strongly recommend that you check out Mama Doctor Jones's video 'Is science anti-trans?' She's a medical doctor (ObGyn) and goes through why being inclusive in health care is not only valid but extremely important and how trans identities are backed up by science. There is nothing anti-scientific at all about saying pregnant people rather than pregnant women.
Thank you for sharing!
I was told by doctors that consuming vitamin C will help with iron absorption (specifically, iron supplements). Can you clarify this for me?
Thanks!! :)
Not Abbey, but yes that's true.
True! Calcium and fiber inhibit also absorption.
Yes, this is true! Specifically non-heme (non animal) sources of iron!

You may not feel comfortable doing this, as it's way different from your usual content, but would you consider showing us some maternity wardrobe essentials?
You look lovely in all your videos, and I have seen loads of comments asking where you got Dress X or Top Y, so it's not just me that appreciates your style!
Feel free to disregard if this comes across as a little weird LOL
Thanks for the suggestion
Hey, Abbey! This is actually completely unrelated to the video but just a quick thanks for contributing to giving me the confidence to re-introduce animal products to my diet. I was actually very physically healthy when I was vegan for 2 years, however, I started to realize that I stopped enjoying food and began to be scared of animal products. At work, I had an incident where my blood sugar was dropping and my co-worker tried to give me a chocolate with dairy in it and I started crying and refused to eat it. Thanks to you, I know that a plant based diet is not the only way to eat healthy, and I was able to eat a donut today :)
Thank you for sharing. I'm so glad it is helpful!
My OB told me chamomile tea is safe.
When I explained I heard otherwise on the internet, she said no it’s just fine!
Been drinking chamomile everyday and 15 weeks pregnant...ahhh
Loved this video, Abbey! Some of the myths are just silly aren't they? I always wanted to know if sleeping on the left side during pregnancy is really better for the baby, or is it just another myth? 💕
I think Abney is great. But I think needing to please the vegans is backfiring. Many obgyn doctors say that women should not be vegan while trying to conceive.
Thank you so much for making the effort to use inclusive language. As a non-binary person, even one who’s not interested in ever having to go through pregnancy, it’s really heartening to see that you made such a genuine effort. Switching up our language habits is hard, so the fact that you made sure to rectify it after it slipped you mind during filming means a lot. Thank you so much for the good info and the inclusivity. I hope you’re having just an absolutely fantastic week.
Amazing video! Can you check out niomi smarts what I eat in a day videos? X

The eating twice as much The way I always looked at it was you're eating for two people but you don't have to eat twice as much The other person you're eating for is a baby they won't eat as much as an adult they don't need as much nutrition as an adult.
What prenatals would you recommend? My doctor suggested I take them because I am 22, and I just always look so lost in the isle. I am also vegetarian, which is another reason he wanted to ensure I was getting my nutrients
