Advice- Big swelling at 37 weeks

[*Beema*]

I am glad you have seen the Dr and got a better picture of things

For more protein, try oats for breakfats, 6.2grams per 50grams
Also Egg Whites are high in protein

I am sure there are heaps of other things high in protein!

You could try disguising red meats, like wrapping them in other things, putting mince in with other dishes, or charcoaling them.

Quinoa is a good source of protein, if you don't know what it is - it's kind of like cous cous. I love it!
Also, beans (soya, mung, butter, kidney etc) are a great source as are nuts!
There are loads of ways to get protein without red meat babe!

Could you also find a pregnancy friendly protein shake? I'm sure there are a few on the market at the moment, health food shops might be able to help you out.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I considered trialling the red meat but don't think i can do it, I am definately gonna try the non-red meat options first.

Alan, thanks for the info on anaemia too.
