Is it safe to eat cup noodles?

I’m 11 weeks now and have been experiencing very bad nausea ever since I found out I was pregnant. My appetite was so bad that I could only stomach certain kinds of food that are mild tasting and “safe”. I can’t eat too much at one go too, I will feel very sick. So I get hungry every 1-3hrs. Sometimes I even get hungry 15mins after a meal. There is one food that I will always crave and can manage to finish the portion. That is my favourite cup noodle. So far I’ve been eating it 1-2 times a week. I know I’m not supposed to as per reading online, but sometimes I get so hungry and crave for that. I will ask my gynae when I see her next week. But I’m just wondering if any of you guys have the same cravings and how much of instant noodle do you eat.

I’m still feeling nauseous and I’m week 15 now. Similar to you, I’ve had no appetite since I found out about bb. Sometimes no choice I will force myself to eat healthier food but at small portions - so I will take longer time to finish a meal but at least that helped me in getting food in. I’m also eating unhealthy stuff too as my hb says it’s better to get calories in than nothing at all. So I would say don’t worry about the cup noodles , for now just eat what you can stomach and hopefully it gets better !

It is OK as long as you have a balanced diet so must eat healthily on other days. Best is try not to finish the soup in the cup noodles. I do eat instant noodles but I cook it dry so I don't drink the soup or I just drink a little bit only. I will also eat the instant noodles with eggs and vegetables to make it a "balanced diet"

I'm also pregnant and I do indulge myself with cup noodles occasionally (maybe around twice a week). I feel most importantly is eat whatever you can stomach for now. if you want, you can add an egg inside to make you feel less guilty about it ☺️

During my pregnancy, i ate instant noodles at least once a week (it was like a cheat day for me when hubby is off to work). I've delivered my baby 25 days ago and we are all fine. I've also regained to my weight before pregnancy.

I personally feel is ok, rat whatever comfortable. my cousin told me, after eating instant noodle, take a kiwi somehow is a balanced, I am not so sure, but whenever I ate instant noodle, I have a kiwi after that 😅

Add in veg and meat to your instant noodles to make it healthier, and use less of the seasoning. It's hard being pregnant, don't be too hard on yourself if u eat instant noodles occasionally

Thanks all for the wonderful responses 😊 I will try to keep it to 1-2 times a week with a balanced diet throughout the week

Everything in moderation:) Just make sure u have a balanced diet. It’s ok to give in to your indulgence once in a while
