I feel like a failure already..(long)

Meh- dont worry about the food thing. As a PP said bubs are resilient little things and the placenta filters away all the bad stuff (well, not all the bad stuff, like I wouldnt recommend drinking alcohol lol)
I eat maccas sometimes and have 1-2 coffees a day. I eat chocolate. Think about how many pregnant women would have eaten the worst things and their babies are fine.
As long as we make sure everything is prepared properly and cooked through then why the hell cant we eat a few treats!

As for the house....dont worry about it, it will get clean eventually. You need to rest and that is more important.

About your DH...I have been the same with my DH and I feel like a failure too. We have sat down and talked about it and he says he understands but I know what you mean I still have a niggle of doubt about it. Lucky we have fantastic DHs isnt it?


Feel better soon

BIG HUGS SWEET,

I think your doing a great job eating fruit is great I have 4 children and i also am a coffee drinker I did in my pregnancy try to cut back down to 2 cups a day at max. Altho in previous pregnancies never cut back and when stressed with baby 3 i would drink up to 9 cups of coffee a day and he turned out just perfect. All i can suggest is try not to drink coffee before bed as babies learn there sleeping patterns in the womb. Dont feel guilty about having an ice coffee. I wouldnt! Its much better than having alcohol or drugs. Its natural too.

Women in the African nations have healthy babies even tho the mothers are starving this is because the baby will take what it needs from you when it needs it. So while you may feel flat your baby will be more than fine. Drs keep telling me this in previous pregnancies. Obviously eat well when you can but dont feel bad when you miss out on vegies just eat it when ya can pregnancy i hard enough let alone being concerned with everything that touches our lips or reaches our hips.

pregnancy takes a lot outa ya dont be upset or feel like a failure with the clothes or messy house You need your rest too. As long as its not filth your fine and it sounds like its clean mess. I also had and still have a pile of washing on my couch its like i get through it and it builds again. But washing is the last of my concerns. As for hubbie sit down and tell him how your feeling good luck My 2 week old awake now so gotta scoot good luck again.
