My not so lovely mother has made a few snide comments about how I should watch what i eat during this pregnancy for DC2 to avoid the baby being 'enormous again' (DS1 was 9lb4), and to to 'avoid getting diabetes'.
She is a pretty horrible woman most of the time so i know I should probably just ignore this, but her comments have stuck and they're worrying me.
i have a sweet tooth at the best of times...and this is not the best of times!! I am very hungry this pregnancy and a worried that i am eating too much/too much bad stuff and am gonna cause problems for myself and the baby.
Is this is legitimate concern, or should I just chill out?
For example, here is what I ate yesterday, which is pretty average at the moment (am 16 weeks and often feel ravenous!)
- Bowl of shreddies with milk for breakfast at home.
- Piece of toast with butter for second breakfast when i get to the office.
- 1 slice of pumpkin seed crispbread as a snack mid morning (have recently brought a pack of these into the office to stop myself raiding the meeting room biscuits at 11am!).
- A plate of veggie chilli with chips and salad for lunch from the office canteen
- A can of pepsi max and a large white chocolate cookie mid afternoon
- A slice of toast at 6pm when giving DS his supper after nursery.
- Smoked haddock fillet in a creme fraiche saude (homemade) with roasted potato, carrots and peas for dinner at 8pm.
Gawd....that's a lot of food isn't it, when it's all written down like that??
Anyone else being a total glutton? Am I going to make myself/the baby ill if I keep this up??
