    OK I'm a little confused. Your OP said no pasta no cheese no tomato & lasagne is full of all those, yet you still managed to eat it.

    You could try tuna parcels. 1 small can of tuna, 1 puff pastry sheet, mayo & chopped onion (can't remember if that's on the no list).

    I think you need to see someone about your food issues though. It's not good for you to continue like this, not good for the pregnancy & will certainly not be good for your children to grow up with a mum who has so many issues with food.... they will grow up with food issues too. I avoided lots of things during pregnancy but I could still eat a good variety of food.

    It's amazing what food can do to you. I can only eat HARD boiled eggs and HARD fried ones. Any other sort will make my throw up and have been this way since year dot.
    There are certain other foods that I find it hard to bite into and have to mash them against the top of my mouth, yeah weird but that's the way it is.
    So squidipa I can understand where you are at. Keep trying to eat in small portions and often.

    Your hubby sounds very sweet and understanding.

    I have to agree with a couple of the others, and I think you need to take a 2 pronged attack here, you need to get the sleeping & eating right at the same time as talking to your GP. It is normal to have food aversions during pregnancy but you have pretty much crossed off all 5 food groups.

    It almost sounds like you are having an anxiety attack regarding food, and not wanting to eat the wrong sorts. What ever it ends up being you need to talk to someone about possible nutirent suppliments, if you can't stomach real food, for you and your baby.
