LOl at the constipation - ds and I were pooing in the bathroom at the same time today, and he was making far worse faces than me cos I didn't dare strain in case I miscarried. Needless to say he also finished pooing quicker than me!!
In case you don't get to check out the website here is the pregnancy diet in its basic form:
2 eggs a day
4 cups of milk a day (any type)
5 wholegrain servings a day (includes beans) - 1 serving = 1 slice of bread, wholegrain = wholemeal bread, or brown rice, wholegrain cereal (a bowl is about 2 servings) etc.
2 servings of green leafy vegetables a day (includes spinach, cabbage, broccoli, kale, all lettuce apart from iceberg - serving = about 1/2 a cup)
1 serving of yellow fruit or veg a day e.g. orange, satsuma, carrot, sweet potato, butternut squash
2 servings of lean meat/fish/cheese to equal 20-25g of protein per serving - you often have to check the packaging, as some things have hardly any protein in. 1 serving of cheese = 3oz
2 vit C rich foods every day e.g. tomato, potato, orange juice or orange, etc.
Abd of course anything else additionally you might want to eat though he recommends steering clear of refined sugar and flour and processed foods, and making everything fresh.
So Kyte - looks like you had a healthy meal to me - protein, wholegrain, green leafy and vitamin C
I had my first Midwife appointment today - home visit which was nice and 2hrs long! Supposed to be an hour but we were chatting! The only thing she questioned on the diet was the 2 eggs a day. So I looked on wikipedia, and apprently the choldestorol thing isn't as bad as people make out cos its good cholesterol, and isn't absorbed that much anyway. And here's the big thing - eggs contain choline which it says is good for pregnant women as it helps with fetal brain development. So I googled choline and pregnancy, and apparently, in rats LOL, it has been shown that increased choline during pregnancy leads to better brain function and memory of their babies! And now they recommend 450g per day of choline for pregnant women. And there are 200g in one egg - so I am deffo going to keep eating two eggs a day - I might get a brainy baby
Oh also she reckons I might be a bit more pregnant than I thought with due date 27th June, though she's still only guessing as I had a miscarriage directly before this pregnancy, so we will wait till the scan to find out. But can I stay even if it is then? [begging face]
