Skybie my love thanks the words of encouragement...

I think many people might read the word 'diet' as me meaning 'weight loss' I used the word diet meaning that I am not happy with the unhealthy food choices I have made, and I don't think it's ok or healthy to eat junk food just because I am pregnant because it's not a nutritious way to live or healthy to feed the baby crap That is what I meant by the word diet... I am not trying to loose weight by dieting while pregnant... Just thought I'd clarify that in case anyone reading thinks I'm a nut job.

I am totally with you there with the eating habits. I lost 9kgs before i fell pregnant and had plans of losing another 10kgs before TTC. For 2 weeks straight i ate a block of chocolate a night, one whole one a night but then i spent the next 3 weeks unable to hold down anything so i think i evened myself out. I havent been REALLY unhealthy but could choose healthier options sometimes. I do think i will be a ten tonne tessy at the end of this pregnancy. But i dont want to obsess over my wieght so i will choose not to be weighed at all.

dont stress over it too much.

Cherished, you are gonna be just a gorgeous pregnant chick! You might be surprised that once you get through the early stage of pregnancy you will have more energy to prepare foods that are better for you. Dont hold me accountable to that though, I started throwing up by your stage and was already on a drip and medication

I do understand the feeling so down about feeling the diet is not the best for your baby, my diet sucked because I often never ate for days on end and then when something would stay down it was a single apple that had to last till I could eat again! Your little bub will take everything it needs without a second thought- little buggers they are

Enjoy every second of your pregnancy hun, it truely is an amazing journey you are on and you can always take a little time to spoil yourself before getting back on the fruit and veg wagon

Cherished - don't beat yourself up. Would it make it easier if you made up a meal plan for each week, so you know you've got a good mix of healthy foods? A great book I've found is called "Feeding the Bump" by Lisa Neal. It details all the nutrients mum & bub need for each trimester and includes recipes. DH & I both love the Bircher Muesli. It helps with planning meals, especially breakfast, which I'm useless at generally.

It's OK to indulge once in a while, but make sure you're having enough protein and loads of green vegies.

hun. I know you worked hard to lose that weight before Christmas. If it makes you feel any better, I put on 2kg as soon as I POAS at 4 weeks utd, I kid you not!!

The baby will take only good nutrients from you. The chips and icecream calories are actually all yours!! So don't worry about the baby. Try not to beat yourself up about a few bad days. So far your gain is probably all water which is why you feel bloated. It's hard to be healthy when you're so tired. I know you'll get back on that healthy eating track soon. Can your DH help you out with making dinner at all while you put your feet up?
