hehehe hope the loaf has turned out beautlfully Peach. I use mine constantly and absolutely love it. It's the only bread I can eat without ending up with bloating and indigestion so I can't afford to not use it! Specially now I'm UTD! Let us know how it turned out.

Hello my lovely Peach and all of my other vego buddies

I'm still here, just totally baby brained out! Got my 28 week OB visit today and I'll get back my results for the GD and iron test. last vist at 24 weeks my blood pressure was pretty low so hoping that higher today and the iron comes back OK.

Food wise I'm not sure what I've been eating, my skin is breaking out with eczema that means I need to cut out wheat, tomato TOFU and any soy products, and potatos and heaps of other things so that doesn't leave much! so annoying..... anyway I'm lacking protein cause I'm kinda sick to death of all the beans and lentils etc I've been eating and to be honest can't stand the stench at the other end with all the gas it causes yes only my vego friends wil understand what I am talking about hehehhehe so I'm back to loading up smoothies with whey powder to try and get more protein in.

Ok enough complaing from me, how's everyone else doing?

wow, cherished, that sucks about the lower breezes! I am not affected by legumes at all - it's fruits and sugars that set me off.

Thought of you all heaps over the weekend - I was in Melbourne and went to Vegie Bar three times We still have some Chocolate Royale cake leftover in the fridge. We got a slice to share, and then ate it on the plane on the way home, while all the other plebs had their apricot biscuits, here we were with this enormous, rich chocolatey thing. It was ace.

My ferritin and haemoglobin were great this week. I am thrilled, I worked so hard to keep them high. Still feel knackered though - maybe not enough B12? Or is it just being pregnant adn trying to do too much (very likely at the moment! Life is flat out...)

Hello All "]
Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Jennah, and I have been a vege for 4 years, although mum tells me that when I was little I asked to not eat meat. Haha. My family were quite supportive when I turned as a teenager.
I am a vege for ethical reasons, and managed to put myself off meat after watching many-a-cruelty videos on PETA.
I try to live as cruelty free as possible, as does my partner and I am into animal rights.
I have no kids yet, but I have been thinking of how they would go, being brought up vegetarians? I would like to hear from some mummies how your children go at school, friends houses etc?
Anyway nice to meet y'all!

Hi I haven't posted in this thread before either. I'm lucky beans and lentils don't give me wind either. Audax I love the vegie bar- but the service has always been terrible and my H never wants to go there now. How was the service for you?? We've found lentil as anything good for dining out with a toddler as it's casual and we sit outside with him running around. Have to wait for more good weather.

Our little veggie boy is only 2 so far so no experience with school and friends sleepovers yet. He goes to family day care 2 days a week and is allowed to eat peanut butter and his other nut butter thank heavens because he doesn't eat much else at the moment so a nut-free child care centre would be a nightmare. Another friend of ours whose son has a nut allergy is starting there soon one day a week so I'm going to have to send him more nut free things. Bit hard with the veggie kid as nuts are so good for him. He's such a fussy eater that seeing other children eat chicken nuggets or ham or whatever doesn't interest him at all at the moment so we don't have any hassles there.
