you're all making me sooo desperate to find out!

I'm feeling sooo sorry for myself girls need some encouragement. Some of you may know I have coeliac disease which means I can't eat bread, pasta, tortilla wraps, biscuits, crackers, pizza, pies, pasties....the list is endless those are just a few. I haven't even mentioned the soups and sauces etc I can't have cos they have gluten and wheat in! Anyway I'm craving all that stuff sooo badly and my substitutes all taste so crap to me. They crumble and don't have any elasticity like bread and everything has a real cake taste to it and nothing melts in like cheese on toast is so shitty on gluten free bread :cry:

I'm so sick of rice and potatoes and leek and potato soup!

I can't make meals for work the day before because the special pasta goes hard so it has to be done from fresh and the bread etc will fall apart and go hard. Just feeling so down about it at the moment I'm desperate for a normal slice of white toast with butter on.....

Sorry for the rant it's just making me so depressed!
 
oh ness :hugs: i bet it is.

I dont know what to say - i love potato and leek soup but i can imagine it getting boring all the time.

What about changing the flavours of the potatoes if that makes sense like with herbs and spices, like chinese or indian?!?! i know its not a huge idea but all i could think of. Must be so rubbish for you :( Sorry i cant help- much xxx

just finished catching up and have seen I'm a bit late on this one but for future reference you can test the freshness of yr eggs just by putting them in cold water - if they float ditch them as they're bad basically!!!!

But otherwise eggs are a great source of protein during pregnancy as long as they are throughly cooked i.e. yolk and white aren't runny!

Heres a link that explains how to test how fresh yr eggs are:

thanks hun :hugs: it is difficult to suggest much - lots of the girls at work try to suggest stuff but most of the stuff they suggest I can't have - even cous cous would make a nice change but can't have that it just sucks royal ass!

I know I can't change anything by moaning about it but it is totally rubbish especially as my OH sits there eating stone bake pizza or a bacon sandwich with thick white bread....I want to hit him at those points lol x
 
I've just been browsing through the forums and had a look through the WTT section. This is an area of the site I never used, we were either NTNP or TTC the whole 13months. Some of the threads made me feel sad because some women are saying we are waiting until X month so we have a summer baby or we won't be trying over these months so we don't have a baby in this month because we already have 5 birthdays in this month etc etc. Obviously in an ideal world we would all be able ot be that picky and probably for a good deal of them they can be. I ALWAYS said I didn't want a december baby or one born end of august but when you've been desperately TTC for so many months any restrictions you originally had just fly out of the window and ANY baby will be a miracle.

I also think it's a shame that a lot of women feel they need to have x amount of money to be able to have a baby and that in general they need to be in a perfect place in their life. It's such a shame that society has made women feel this way about something so natural :( We don't have a single penny saved for this baby but it will have everything it could ever want plus more and will never do without.

It would just break my heart if these women wait and wait until the perfect time, start trying and find that they have problems conceiving etc (especially if it's their first they're trying for).

Sorry for the rant but I'm an overly emotional pregnant lady today :haha:
 
Oh ness I'm so sorry to hear you're having such a sh** time! I bet it's made a million times worse by being pregnant. I hope you still get all the nutrients and calories you need in a day because I imagine on that restricted diet it must be quite tough. Wish I could give you answers :( moan all you want, it's what we're here for :)
 
I agree ducky :hugs:

We dont have any money saved up either and I know money will be very tight as we won't be entitled to anything especially if the government scaps working family tax credits but we'll just have to manage! x
 
Ducky i agree too, its a shame, and also makes it way too...planned. I never used the wtt either as i seemed to be forever ttc!! Also, who falls pregant on the first cycle, its very lucky if you do. xx

Ness thats so mean of OH!! Maybe he should try eating like you for just one day....!!! xx
 
I agree, Ness make him eat like you for a few days and I'm sure he won't eat all of that food in front of you again.

:hugs: aww thanks chick it's really tough - much more tougher being pregnant as I can't stomach any of the gluten free breads etc as they all taste a bit too sweet.

I'm taking pregnacare all the way through til I give birth to make sure bubs is getting vits and minerals it needs, I eat fruit and nuts and try to drink plenty of water.

It's just nice to be able to moan to you guys - gets it off my chest. Friends and family just tell me to deal with it cos there's not much I can do which I know but it doesnt make it any easier!
 
lol I said that to him and he was like "err no I'm alright thanks" lol he wouldnt last a day on my diet!

I'm desperate for a bowl of fruit and fibre with cold milk....heaven!
 
Another rant..... lol! Sorry :)

I've been thinking about EVERYTHING we need for this baby and it's a fair amount, even just the basics! But what amazes me is that I plan to breastfeed but express too so I still need to buy bottles, sterilizer etc. Not only that but I'm still probably going to get a small amount of formula in (the ready made stuff) just in case. I also don't want to use dummies for LO if possible but have been told it's bes to buy one JUST IN CASE! Seems to me like there's a lot of just in case stuff to buy.

Ooo Ness I picked up a loaf of that genius bread today at work and even though the bb date is the 27th June it just felt so hard and uninviting :( Made me think of you and the stuff you have to eat that just isn't the same.

I've been told this about dummies, but I just refuse to buy them :S I never had one and my brother never had one. Also soft jaws run in my side of the family so where my brother sucked his thumb for a 2/3 years his jaw has begun to change so want to try and avoid this.
 
I didnt buy a dummy for Harrison for 14 weeks but then caved in to him and wish i hadnt now! new baby wont be having one tho! :)

It is hard and crumbly and just not the same :( I feel silly getting myself upset about it because I know theres nothing I can do to change it but its just so hard (literally lol).

I never feel fully satisfied at meals either so constantly hungry and nibbling at stuff. Sometimes all you want is a slice of toast with just butter on *sigh*
