Oh also! I read in a great book that the dizziness and headaches comes from your blood vessels getting bigger in expectation for the extra volume of blood that is on it's way, but not quite there yet. So your blood pressure may drop a little and make you a bit dizzy here and there. I got it quite badly but it went away as the pregnancy went on.

And, my MIL also thinks I am overreacting about the food thing, and my standard responses are...

Yes I know, the doctors really do go overboard these days don't they!!! Oh well, it's not forever and this is just what I've been told by my doctor/midwife to do(removes the decision from you so it's harder to argue with)

I've gone off <insert item here> a bit to be honest, just the thought makes me feel ill (difficult to believe when it comes to me and runny eggs but is actually true about coffee and champagne! LOL had a sip of both and it just tastes wrong.....)

Hope this helps
