Healthy Pregnancy #2

[Lady-bug]

Hi ladies,

I have an issue with Ob's weighing women. I just don't see the point. Unless there seems to be a real medical reason to be weighed I just don't get it. I was never weighed once when pregnant with DS (I went through the Midwives clinic at the local hos.) and this pregnancy I have an Independent Midwife as I'm having a homebirth so there will definitely not be any weighing. I just don't see how it is helpful for the woman. Sorry rant over

Mummabear-those meatballs sound yummo! Did you put anything else in with the chicken and veg (ie, spices etc) Might have to give that one a go!

Lunch today is one of those healthy microwave meals...probably not the best but I want something warm and its quick.

Dinner tonight is beef and veg casserole. I'm not too keen but DS and DH love it so they win!!

Hey Lady-bug, yep I put onion, garlic and some chicken spice in them (i think its for sprinkling on roast chicken - but it gives it a beautiful flavour). I sometimes substitute the zuchini for spinach. Good way to get iron in to the boys!

I have an Independent Midwife too Lady-bug and she isnt concerned about my weight at all. I dont think it should really be an issue. Every woman is different. Some people put weight on in pregnancy and some dont. There shouldn't be some sort of rule about it. Ive always put on 20-25kgs with my pregnancies, so I accept that thats the way its going to be. But my bestfriend puts on 6kgs and eats like a horse.
