lol... I just remember so vividly the stuff she wasn't allowed to have.. its stuff I LIVE on!!! I don't know what I'd do if they restricted my diet!

 

[Wiggler]

I would seriously cry if I was told there was certain foods I wasn't allowed to eat.

OMG just realised its 8pm!! the shopping will be here within 2 hours!! YAAAY

You can have fruit and things, but some fruits are better than others, and what you eat them with and how they are prepared etc etc I got a book to help me on a low GI path, but learnt so much from my dietitian about ways of preparing food different so you reduce the GI, and when to have fav foods which are high GI, you can reduce the GI of a food by eating it with a certain other food etc etc I must have got the hang along the way I lost 3 stone lol

 

[lisaf]

I think the South Beach Diet follows a low GI plan... I remember eating metamucil crackers with some meals which I suppose help, lol.. Those things were yummy, i'd eat them with every meal if it helped me lose weight!

 

[Wiggler]

WOOO! Shopping is here, I'll be back in a bit to let you know what I have decided to munch on

 

[Wiggler]

I had a yummy raspberry cheesecake and am now royally pissed off with my OH.

He is really weird about me eating some food. say we buy a pack of sausage rolls and I have more than half, he goes all whiny about it, and he should NOT be making me feel guilty because I eat what I want. I dont have a problem when he scoffs nearly all the sausages to himself, I just had a bloody massive go at him about how it is totally unfair that he makes me feel like I don't even have permission to eat and feed myself and the baby. GRR he can stick his fancy anniversary meal up his arse!

 

[lisaf]

aw Wiggler,
DH and I get territorial about food sometimes. I think for us, its a problem when we feel like we were expecting to go to the cupboard and grab X item only to find out the other ate it all.... so we tend to make it clear and pre-divide food into 'yours' and 'mine'.... stupid, but it stops the fights
THEN, if someone does want more, they can ask and we usually say yes, but we're never surprised to go find out its all gone.

 

[Wiggler]

Its a bit harder for us to do that as we have Dylan, and with all the food problems he has had if he is actually willing to eat something I will let him have it. I dont care if its something for the family or something one of us has bought just for us.

It just really upsets me when he says I eat all the food to myself! I don't if I buy a cake as a treat me and Dylan will share half then I give OH the rest and he leaves it in the fridge til it goes off

 

[lisaf]

oh yes, my DH does the SAME thing... so often times we have an expiring rule... lol.. that stuff that is around too long is up for grabs. My DH always lets stuff go bad... but we apply this rule to ice cream too, If its been there for a week, anyone can have it.

 

[Wiggler]

The way I do things is if its there and you want some, then grab it. (unless Dylan wants it, he gets first priority)

What i might do next week is buy him a load of chilli (he loves the stuff) and buy me and Dylan a load of yummy stuff which OH isn't allowed then he can't whine like a little girl.

Bloody man moaned the other day that I had eaten all the ice lollies. They had been in the freezer 4 months!! not like he didn't have a chance

Ooh that reminds me, I have to take some meat out of the freezer, I'm making stew for dinner tomorrow. yum yum!

 

[lisaf]

Lol.. DH always makes me feel like a big fat cow/pig if I eat all/most of something.. but he does it all the time himself so I feel you pain. I do love it when my snacks are things he won't even taste!

 

[Wiggler]

Hehe, Thats why I bought a 3 pack of mini cheesecake, he wont touch it. lol. all the yummyness for me and Dylan

Ooh, we are 15 weeks tomorrow! YAY!

 

[lisaf]

YAY!!! I can't believe how far I've gotten... I swear it was 2 weeks ago that I was only 8 weeks on feeling like everything was SOOOO Far away.

Is anyone else feeling movement? I don't think I am at all... had a tap-tap-tap sensation but I can't say it was movement for sure so I'm not calling it official yet.
VERY jealous of those feeling movement though, lol!

 

[Wiggler]

No movement yet, I thought I was feeling movement a week or two ago, but no, just wind

Hopefully should start feeling it soon, a lot depends on where the placenta is, how baby is laying though. Even a cervix shot would be nice though

If I had a choice between tearing and a cut I would deffo choose tearing, apparently they heal much faster and don't hurt as much.

You can still tear even with an episotomy, which makes the stitching more difficult. I've torn twice. My first time, I had 86 stitches, the second, only 7. I will choose to tear again.

I'm also going with a hospital birth but with a midwife over an obsterician, only because my son stopped breathing three hours after he was born. I want to be at a hospital in case it happens again

 

[hopefulmama]

I wish this thread would stop talking about the episiotomies and tears it's so scary to me.

 

[Wiggler]

Aww hun ((hugs)) There are ways to help avoid tearing or needing a cut. Try googling "perineal massage" I plan on doing it this time round.

 

[hopefulmama]

Ha ya i know what it is, also used in sexual ways haha

its just cringing to hear abot people who get 60 to 80 stitches down there. My husband thinks its nuts i even go on this site let alone tell him about it.. hes like " why do you want to know all these horrible things, all you have to do is watch another birthing video for that"
ahole

 

[Wiggler]

Try not to get yourself too worried about it, when you are pushing bubs out its the last thing you are worried about, and afterwards, you are too besotted by new bubs to worry much either.

 

[BizyBee]

I really can't keep up with this thread!

Thankfully OH doesn't say anything about my eating habits. He would rather I eat healthy foods over fast food, but he's never made me feel bad about what I'm eating. I have to admit, I am really loving being pregnant. I guess it helps that I haven't really been sick but it's been a good experience so far. I have started buying new clothes and it's fun. I am so glad I'm past the point of constantly worrying.
