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?
Awww I'm not sure if it's hormones or just feeling overwhelamed with support but thank you all for your wonderful replies. Kaz it's particularly nice to hear from you as I know you know how hard I worked to loose that weight! Today is a new day and I'm going to eat well, dh is a great influence and will always help out when he can so I am all set to enjoy and be happy
cherished1 - if it's any consolation, i had many lazy eating moments while PG & i put on about 14kg overall, which i didn't think was too bad. it's early days yet, so go easy on yourself, i'm sure you'll eat plenty of healthy food as well
Cherished - i was SO sick with DS i ate hungry jacks for 2 weeks straight cos it was the only thing i could get in my mouth at one point!! I put on 20kgs ish by the end of the pregnancy but after lost more that i started with so i dont think worring about weight at this point really matters.. more so after bubs... Just try to eat as healthly as you can and it will make you feel better in your mind but worst case, just make sure u keep taking vitamins and then you know ur helping bub out there!!
I totally agree I am watching my weight as well, as I lost 30kg prior to getting pregnant I want to be healthy during pregnancy so at the end I dont have 20KG to loose..
Yes I will have a baby in the end but the baby also needs a healthy mum!
