I've been craving something, but no idea what, for the last week or so! Nothing I eat satisfies it!

I've also been getting really bad indigestion/heartburn and don't really want to eat. Do any of you ladies have suggestions (aside from TUMS--I'm pretty sure I eat too many of those) to help?

 

[Buttons_01]

No one has updated in a while. Everything going okay with all you ladies and bumps? .. I feel as though i have sprouted within the last week and o suddenly have a bump! A fair size one at that(or so i reckon anyway lol) hoping this baby isn't going to be big! .. Oh and i am obsessed with junk food! And i crave sour cream and onion Pringles .. Not very healthy at all.

Pringles are buy one get one free at tesco at the minute, I got some last night

Only 99days left this pregnancy is going so quick I need to start buying for little man and thinking of a name for him. How's everyone else?x

ooo! I must go and get some! They are sooo good .. Never really been a fan of them before i got pregnant but now I'm addicted!

 

[Buttons_01]

Oh good god I am so glad to hear I am not the only one craving junk at the moment, I have gained 7lbs so far (currently sitting at 9stone7lbs) and I am convinced it is because of all the chocolate I ate from easter last week. Every day I tell myself I am going to not touch chocolate anymore but then slap bam someone will bring cakes into work x

i love the junk food! I love chocolate, crisps, chocolate biscuits .. Oh another thing i am starting to become addicted to and have to have are Maltesers! But i have to bite all the chocolate off around it and then eat the honeycomb in the middle! Haha

 

[Buttons_01]

I have to ask this question .. Are any of you ladies still eating deli meats? .. One thing i loved to have for my lunch before i was pregnant was ham and cheese and onion crisps on a sandwich and i have just started to get back into eating it. Am i doing any harm or not? I make sure the packet the ham comes in, is in a sealed tight bag

I eat deli meats still --actually, I had a delicious turkey sub on Sunday. The only thing I don't consume since pregnancy is alcohol, otherwise, I haven't really changed my diet. And both me and baby are fine.

Oh man I have to really have self control in the bakery department and the candy isle. I am not going to stop craving these apple crisp muffins I saw yesterday (and refrained) until I get one lol they looked sooooo good


Is anyone planning (or helping plan) their baby shower? Mine is May 18th I will be almost 29 weeks

 

[clynn11]

My baby shower is planned for June 7th. I'm so excited!!!

As for deli meats, I eat subway all the time - I just get it toasted. I've read too much about listeria and freaked myself out lol.

 

[Buttons_01]

Well ive just enjoyed and ham and cheese sandwich lol.. Also i am trying to eat fruit but i tried to eat an orange and an apple but was having none of it! Fruit just doesn't taste right and im trying not to go for chocolate all the time.. Do you think its okay to get some fruit in by drinking fruit juices?

 

[flagirlie7]

Jealous of all you ladies! I was eating whatever and whenever before, but now with GD I have to behave. Anyway, doc did not like my morning numbers anyway, starting glyburide today But I got used to healthy food and eating and do not crave sweets much anymore, thank god!

I have my GD test in a few weeks, and I'm gearing up to hear that I have it. I've been having some weird reactions to sugar (it makes me feel sluggish and sleepy), and my son is constantly measuring ahead and he's looking like he'll be a big child. I don't have high BP and I haven't gained significant weight, so there's still a chance, but I dunno...

As far as my baby shower, it's in June at some point, when I'm around 30w. I'm not planning it, a friend supposedly is, but she's kind of scatterbrained and she's planning her wedding, too, so I feel like I might wind up having to either do it myself or ask someone else.

I pre-registered for my birth today, too, and something about that excited me. I can't wait to meet my little man! Also, V-day is this Friday, so that's exciting. How's everyone else doing?

Oh yeah! My SIL is "planning" my baby shower but she is very VERY scatterbrained, she has a million other things going on in her life, and is a single mom of 3 young kids. So yeah, I am helping with it. Lol I am a control freak too so I need to know everything is going good, especially since it's in a few weeks... She said she had a company send the invitations out like a month ago but nobody has received them yet so I just said screw it and made a FB event page.

I want to pre register at my hospital! I wasn't sure when people usually do that..

I pretty much eat anything and everything I ate before I was pregnant (cept alcohol). The risk of listeria from deli meat is so so minimal, that it's almost not even something we should be worrying about. And then of course they'd never tell you to stop eating produce, but those become contaminated with listeria much more frequently.

I even had some raw sushi the other day from a place I trust and have frequented for years. No food poisoning, and I'm fine. I did get food poisoning in my last pregnancy and it was from a meal that was cross contaminated at a restaurant. I didn't eat anything on the "no-no" list and still got sick. So I figure why limit all these things when really it can happen at any time and any place? And DD is fine anyway.

 

[ChristiansMum]

It's my birthday tomorrow so I hope someone has got me a cake or I'm goin to have to go but myself one and then we are goin out for a meal on Saturday for my birthday so fx I might get another cake I just can't stop eating, I can have my dinner and not even an hour later I'm hungry again x

I have eaten sushi a few times at a place I trust. I haven't eaten any raw fish just in case but I have eaten seared tuna a few times. It was mostly cooked through and it was only just a tiny bit on top of sushi.

V-day for me!! So very exciting except everyone I know has no idea what it is and when I explain it, they are like "oh you don't want the baby to come this early!" Well, no shit lmao. But if I somehow had preterm labor I would feel better about it!!

My doctor gave me the script for my GD test. I'm hoping I can go up to my local hospital on Saturday rather than driving out 45 minutes to where I normally go

I've been training for my new job, and my first day is Thursday! I'm excited but nervous at the same time!

My wedding is just over 5 weeks away! AH!!! We have been buying stuff for decorations and I finally settled on my bridesmaids gifts. We also decided on a cook out for the rehearsal dinner. Praying for no rain those two days!!

As for diet, I haven't changed much either. No alcohol (not even a sip!) and I quit smoking when I found out I was pregnant. I've stayed away from seafood for he most part, and I have lunch meats every once in a while. I've cut out caffeine, only have some coffee maybe once a week as well. I've been loving junk food tho lol!

My birthday today, it's so weird thinking next year I'll get another present lol I got 2 cakes

I had my 25 week midwife appointment yesterday and measuring spot on thankfully. I've gained 15 lb but it's all bump, everywhere else looks normal so I was worried if be off the chart! Everything else is good and baby's heartbeat was 152, same as at 16 weeks.

I'm still eating ham as the risk of food poisoning is so low and the risk if it causing me to be ill enough for it to be a problem even smaller. Thankfully I don't like soft cheese, pate etc... Anyway so I got off lightly.

26 weeks today

I had my glucose test yesterday, along with some other bloodwork for some symptoms I have been having. Thinking my iron levels might be low, along with my low blood pressure......I am just not feeling quite right. Hoping to find out tomorrow.

Hope everyone is feeling great!

Hey ladies, sorry Iv been absent, been having a rough week or so. My pain in my hips just wasn't going away so at my 25 week appointment, my mw told me to either cut my hours down, change job role or go sick. Because my holiday is only 4 weeks away I decided to take sick, so now I'm officially a lady of leisure lol. It happened so quickly and I worry Iv lost friends over it as I just went with no official goodbye. Iv now hot a chest infection, and my 2 year old has turned into the spawn of satan! Lol. I went to complete paperwork yesterday and she showed me il something rotten. Really wasn't my day.
Today is my OH birthday so we're going for a nice walk to the park, even tho I'm starting to feel like a hippo! I feel huge and qui the frankly starting to look it.
Hope everyone else is well.

 

[LoveCakes]

Happy birthday Christiansmum hope you have a lovely day. My LO was very active yesterday too, maybe they are trying to give us the bumps from the inside! I could see them kick through the bump band on my trousers and my top!

I hope the rest does you good tracie, take care. I wouldn't worry about others most people don't plan on being off sick so it's usually unexpected. Where are you off on holiday?
