We all have that moments when we are not in the mood to eat even if there's a feast of delightful goodness in front of us. It's common to pregnant women, in particular. In times like these, we suggest these 5 foods to eat when you don't feel like eating:

1. Hard Boiled Eggs

This on-the-go, very easy to cook snack is loaded with protein and good fats, especially for pregnant moms. They are rich in choline that is good for your baby's brain development.

2. Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are rich in Vitamin A which is important in the development of baby's nervous system, organs, respiratory, and as well as circulatory systems.

3.  Juice

Aside from water, drinking 100% juice (not the concentrated or contains unnecessary extra ingredients), will make you feel better. Not only that, you will have fewer headaches, cramps, UTIs and other health problems.

4.  Salmon

Salmon and other oily fish that are high in omega-3 fatty acids are just perfect for you because they are lighter than red meats and easier to your tummy. Gina Sirchio, MD, who specializes in prenatal nutrition, says, "Fish offers excellent fats as well as protein."

5. Smoothies

Smoothies that are high in vegetables and lightly sweetened with frozen fruit are recommended by nutritionists for pregnant women dealing with nausea and lack of appetite. It's nutritious and good for you and your baby.
