I was on weight watchers when i got pregnant with dd. So it was soup & salad lol. I had bad morning sickness so didnt eat much the 1st 16 weeks
Then i drank alot of coke, cans from machines at work were so good
I was also known to visit maccas or BK at 10pm because i was hungry.
I wasnt the best eater, i regret that 100% now because i put on alot of weight because of that.

I was eating pretty healthily - I usually do. I'd recently come back from rural USA where there wasn't a lot of fresh produce available, so was eating a lot of fresh stuff, especially cos it was summer. I'd lost 10kg while in the states so was a healthy (but not skinny!) weight. Umm... I was also enjoying perhaps a bit much of things like feta, salami etc that I'd have to give up while pregnant. Figured I should eat them while I could!
I imagine diet can have a small impact on TTC - as in a few months quicker or slower to conceive for some couples, but I don't think it would make a huge difference, unless your DH was big into booze and drugs?

I was trying to lose weight and it was January/February so was eating healthy and exercising. Typically I got UTD as soon as I started being good.

Ummm... not as good as it is now. The amount of junk in our diets was pretty bad

i was trying to be healthy, but still eating takeaways on the weekends.. made sure i had fruit and yoghurt everyday.. i made consious choices though as i have been trying to get rid of my endo for years so avoid all soy and caffeine and sugary fizzy drinks..
though.. i was a serious candy addict and would eat chocolate or candy most days..
dont ask me what my diet now is though (munches on some homemade pizza with lots of cheeese)

I had a very good diet. I had irregular periods, so I knew to increase my chances of conceiving I needed to eat well. So a lot of fresh fruit and veges, whole grains etc.
It definitely makes a difference if you are trying to conceive (in my opinion). There is a book called 'Taking Charge of Your Fertility' by Toni Weschler, and the diet in that book is pretty much what I stuck to.

I have a high BMI had been eating quite badly,. Finally decided I needed to put everything into TTC that I could, as we'd been trying for nearly 2 years. Ate healthy as for 2 mths and got BFP. However this pregnancy was through IUI (fertily treatment) and that was my first attempt at it, so it could have been that. But I do wonder how much the change in diet impacted, possibly quite a bit.

Junk food galore!
Tried to cut it all out once i got the BFP but only thing i really suceeded in was having healthier lunchs and cutting out coke. Im still a junk food queen but no where near as bad as i was!

I'd started WW about a month prior to concieving so was eating pretty well. I'd lost bout 5 kgs and I'm sure that helped with the BFP!! In saying that we'd only been trying a couple of months, so could have just been coincidence.

balanced... a little bit of everything, healthy and junk a like.
With J it was winter so lots of casserole type dinners and soups for lunch, not a lot of fruit as I am not a big winter fruit person. We had takeaways at least once a week for lunch and dinner.
With thumper it was summer so loads of fresh fruit and salads. Probably too much mcd's for lunch tbh

I've always had a pretty healthy diet, in terms of lots of fruit and veges. However when I got my BFP I had never really drunk water and it wasn't until DD was born that I decided to cut out juice and fizzy and just drink water!
I did however have a fair bit of takeaways like maybe 1-2 times a week but now it's more like once a fortnight!
My weight pre baby was 54kg and height about 162cm so not a big person, I lost 3kg in the first 3 months from morning sickness but gained that back plus 12 kg at the end of my pregnancy and have lost it all again now.
My diet wasn't the best whilst pregnant either as I didn't change it at all but have since giving birth because I am breast feeding and realise it's probably important I do!

Normal really I guess, I still ate chocolate and chipd and macca's etc every now and then(or sometimes more than that lol)
Once I fell pregnant with Caden, I didnt eat much at all for 8 weeks, I felt so sick all the time.

before getting BFP it wasnt amazing haha but i did eat alot of fruit, ham off the bone etc being its the festive season
once i found out i was preg i hardly ate and when i did it was hard to keep down etc had m/s till 20 weeks and if i did eat would be like fruit or something simple like that.
still have no appertite feel ripped off thought preg people were ment to enjoy food!!!
i have been good at drinking tho ... lots of water, fruit juice, coke (i hate to admit how much i drink)
havnt had alot of takeways or anything either!
