Healthy Pregnancy #2

[Teeki]

Hey there ladies, mind if I join in? I've been through the whole thread and there are already some good tips here

I'm currently 20 weeks with my first, and have always struggled with weight a bit. A few years ago I lost 10kgs, but over the last year 8 crept back on I started losing again, and then along came Little Squid! I'm quite surprised as so far I've only put on 2kgs, but I know the big gain can come at the end and I'm not willing to be complacent.

Like most of you, snacks are my downfall. If I forget to bring fruit to work it's far too easy to pop in to the store next door for a donut! I really need to find healthy snack type stuff to fill the cupboards with, and get easy lunches, otherwise I just fall back to toast.

I read yesterday that what we eat now can influence what our baby likes flavour wise, and I definitely don't want a baby who just wants junk food!

I look forward to chatting with you all

WOW, so many new pregnant-mummas! WELCOME!!
Kaytee and Jax: Lucky ducks to have only gained minute amounts, im turning an unflattering shade of green right now with envy Ive put about 5-ish kgs on already Hopefully thats it though

For brekkie ive had my lemon tea and am having some vegemite toast, but with no butter and on wholemeal bread. Im getting better, am I not?

What are people having for tea tonight? Im after some inspiration. Last night's tea was loaded with carbs (craving myself also?!)

Lovely to see so many of us now.

Sunny for dinner tonight DH is cooking. Chops for me and him and the girls are having rissoles which I can't eat (they give me IBS and on top of that I can't stop vomiting when I eat them (unless I make them myself) I try and froce the red meat down my throat for the iron. I guess I should add a healthy piece of corn and reduce the mash with heaps of butter. But its the snacks I'm worried about. This morning I ate some sultana bran (high in folate acid so I like to eat that) with full cream milk (I often have skim) then an hour later I felt sick so ate 1 piece of toast covered in butter and now I'm eating a no fat yogurt and already keep looking in the cupboards to see what else I can snack on despite forcing the water down. I think I have an addiction to anything bad. I could have cried when I walked past all the lollie, chips and chocolate vending machine at 10pm last night. All I wanted to do was fill up on them. I swear they were calling my name to eat them. Then when I got home I ate a piece of cake. Fortunately that cake is almost gone and I wont be making another in a hurry.

Of to buy some chocolate drink Mummybear mentioned and thinking of making some weight watches Jelly. And need to stock up on the snacks as thats the down fall. Maybe I should try celery and carrot sticks with that los point dip and chewing gum.
