Sarah's Pregnancy/Breastfeeding & Everything Else Food Diary - F&H

[MummySarahE]

Aww well you will love the scan, we will all want to see the pic. I was so nervous before my 12 week scan that I couldn't sleep until 3am. Then I was just taken over by emotion, baby wouldn't keep still and even did a wave. You will love it we had a 4D scan at 28 weeks love my baby

I can't work out whether I have had a very lucky pregnancy or whether I have it all to come in the last 10 weeks lol!!! I've literally have no symptoms other than tiredness.

im also hoping to have a 4D scan - was pricing them up the other day!
you've probably had a lucky one hun! they say it tends to get better after first trimester dont they!
havent you had any cravings? x

That's good dedication. I think pp is similar to calorie counting. Which is why I would struggle as some days I don't have a big appetite. Then other days I could eat everything in site. F&H helps limit my piggy days to bigger portions of healthy food at least.

How many calories did you allow yourself while pregnant btw? My midwife said during third trimester a pregnant woman needs an extra 300 calories per day. 6lbs during the whole pregnancy? If that is right you did amazing.

I think F&H is a great plan, I was around 15st to start with most weeks I STS or have small losses, I didn't start gaining till 3rd trimester and then some weeks it went came back off but its true or body definitely does need a bit extra then.. I basically ate what I fancied or what I needed but tried to eat healthy and between 1500-2000 cals, to be honest I felt more hungry once baby was here not straight away but around 2-3 wks maybe cos of b/feeding x

The sweets are 1pp per pack for when I crave something sweet. I got these... <img src="http://www.minimins.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=142693"/> To cater for my peanut butter obsession.

I saw those PB Bars in Asda, as I'm PB obsessed too I wondered what they would be like!

The Sweets look yummy too! So you know if they are Veggie/contain Gelatine? I expect they do :-( All the best sweets do!

Banana Muffin sounds yum every tho I'm not on F&H, what is it? X

 

[*Emsie*]

Food looks yum, how many points in th granola bars please? x

 

[MummySarahE]

Food looks yum, how many points in th granola bars please? x

I haven't ran them through the calculator but there are 195 calories, so I think probably 5pp. I'll check later bit more than I'd like for a granola bar but they do sound nice

 

[MummySarahE]

This morning I am cheating. My hubby ate my last 2 crumpets. They wernt mine lol and he isn't psychic.
Anyway I don't eat much bread so don't see the point of buying the ww brand that is free on F&H. But I had 2 slices Wholemeal toast. PP was the same as 2 crumpets, so I'm pretending the bread is free on F&H just for today lol

They do! Thanks x

 

[UKSerena]

Those bars are 5pp as I checked when I saw them online. My Friend always does that with her Bread as she refuses to buy the over priced WW stuff and she always loses so I'm sure 1 day won't hurt. X

 

[MummySarahE]

The peanut butter granola bar was yummy, could have done with more peanut butter. It was very crumbly which I love but a bit messy.

Today I have to eat at my desk booooo as the kitchen has no power. Or light. It's being fixed later.

Lunch

Salad with pepper which left over curry chicken rice. Yum
In my World Map Atlas lunch box. 2pp

Day 11
Gestation - 29 weeks 6 days

Breakfast
2x Toast & Pineapple Cheese Spread 1pp
Jelly
Coffee

Lunch
Chicken Curry Rice 2pp
Salad & Raw Pepper

Dinner
Hmm I wasn't sure how to pp this. I made some bolagnese in the slow cooker before I started F&H. It's been in the freezer a month or so. I used less than 10% fat minced beef but drained the fat away. It has carrots, spinach, celery, mushroom, garlic, onion, chilli, tomato, tinned tomato, herbs, oxo cube. Then I think, I *think* I used a small amount of gravy powder to thicken it. So it's mostly free but I'll predict 4pp
I didn't have it with pasta . I had it with carrots and veg.


Snacks
Peanut Butter Granola Bar 5pp
Vimto Ice Pop 1pp
Banana
Tangerine
Apple

= 13pp used
= 5pp remain for tomorrow
WI on Friday

Today
I woke up with cramp in my leg, it quickly went but ouchy. Never had real cramp before. Looking forward to watching one born every minute tonight. Gets me excited
Still tired...I find work hard between 3 and 5, I just can't concentrate.
Cancelled graze for a few weeks as I have 11 uneaten boxes but here are todays's

Not worth £2.50 when I am not getting through them quickly enough.

I feel like a pig when I compare my food to some others peoples lol but I'm eating for 2

I feel like a pig and I'm not eating for 2 lol

Those graze boxes look yum, I loved the banoffee dippers x

 

[MummySarahE]

I sometimes forget I have them and they just get left....
I saw a peanut butter dip one on the website, but I couldn't tick 'send soon'

 

[MummySarahE]

Oh wow! I never watched one born every minute until I got pregnant. I cry at every baby that is born. It's so beautiful.

A couple having twins had one baby bigger than the other and she had a Caesarian at my exact gestation (day before 30 weeks). One baby was born at 2lbs13oz and the other at 1lb5oz. The larger baby is about the same size as mine is now and I'm amazed how big he was and developed. I can't believe I have that inside me right now and it's made me very emotional.
I'm not an emotional person, I didn't even cry at my wedding. Both the twins survived.....amazing stuff.

How an earth is there a baby inside me that big....there doesn't seem enough room.

 

[Cas3]

I just cancelled my graze boxes I was just getting things I don't like or a few things actually worked out high in cals,

Your dinner looks yummy, I'm going try that with veg instead of pasta next time.

OBEM is addictive during pregnancy, the births are so beautiful, I remember crying when Hollie was born even though she was my third its amazing- your going love it x

 

[MummySarahE]

I'm a bit worried to be honest but excited. I'm never poorly, I haven't taken antibiotics, paracetamol or any drugs for about 15 years. No reason other than I haven't needed them. Anyway I am a bit worried about all the options and what I need and don't need. I want to do it as natural as possible, but if I need to take something I'm a bit scared my body will just reject it as it's not use to it. I'm probably just being paranoid.

 

[Nessa29]

OBEM was so emotional tonight especially the twins at the end! Xx
