    Sounds like you are one of the lucky ones too who can still eat nearly everything you should. I went off vegies totally for about 8 weeks just from nausea etc and at the moment the most appealing fruit to me is banana so I have half a one with porridge for brekky etc.

    We all know what we SHOULD eat during preg - but sometimes we just cannot either a) stomach it b) just don't want it.

    Sounds like your diet is still really well balanced so lovey I wouldn't beat yourself up for a row of choccy or 4!

    I went off vegies too - for the first trimester, and most fruit too - luckily I got my appetite back around 13-14 weeks.

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one who can't quite bear the thought of giving up chocolate! Feel much less guilty now... for now.

    Hi Sterla,

    I know what you mean, as far as calcium and all that jazz, I would hope that between your vitamin and milk every day..it shouldn't be too bad.. You'll probably find that as teh weather gets lighter and you get bigger ( I am guessing here as it is my 1st), you might feel more like salads and lighter meals in general. That's how I am starting to feel, not craving so much comfort food anymore as nice big salads and fruits..

    At my 1st antenatal class, our MW said that the baby pretty much takes whatever it needs from us, we are stuck with the leftovers...so the bub should be fine. Your diet does sound pretty balanced.
    Maybe try to eat Dark choc, is not as sugary and I usually cannot eat as much of it as it is sooo rich.

    Good luck

    It's all about moderation. Your diet looks pretty good to me. I don't eat chocolate so i suppose that's a plus for me lol.

    You're lucky to be able to eat though. i can't stomach much yet but i do have a craving for potato and hot potato chips.
