Yum not had a snickers for ages! I've got a twirl and a wisps in cupboard lol, just ordered my food, tuna sweetcorn pizza w chips! I won't eat it all though I get full quick now! x

I haven't had snickers for ages, I love them but I was told you shouldn't have peanuts when pregnant as it can increase the risk of allergies in babies. I don't think though I really have an opinion on if I think this is true or not but I have stayed away from them. What does everyone else think? x

 

[mrs-s]

With my last pregnancy was told if asthma heyfever allergys etc run in family then avoid, I would still have odd few though and there's nothing wrong with my LO, the research now has changed and there is no reason not to eat peanuts unless peanut allergys run in your close family x

 

[oasis6918]

Oh no one has an allergy to nuts, my mum sister and both brothers suffer/suffered with asthma and hayfever but me and my dad don't. The odd one shouldn't hurt then x

I love chocolate wiv nuts, I try not to have to much though they used to say dont eat nuts during pregnancy but now they changed it again but I've eaten nuts in both my other pregnancies and ive got 2 healthy children but if I did have any allergies in my family then I wouldnt, I feel bit guilty now xx

 

[mrs-s]

Don't feel guilt, I've ate peanuts in this pregnancy, peanut butter and butterfinger choc bars and snickers, everything in moderation!

 

[oasis6918]

See I've just heard about not having nuts but not really looked into it like this but sometimes I find it better to speak to people and get opinions rather than listen to the books, next time I come across a snickers I'll definitely pick one up instead of walking past x

 

[oasis6918]

Wow I just had a snickers, it had to be done. Although I felt so ill at Asda, maybe the heat but I thought I was going to pass out, picked up a chocolate bar in case I needed something to eat quick, then swapped it for a snickers. It was great!

 

[Cas3]

You can see why I ate 2 of them yesterday they kept me going till dinner but try not to have to many there quite high in fat, dont want to blamed for weight gains this wk! oh I love m&ms too.

How much do you think we meant to be gaining a wk in last trimester x

 

[mrs-s]

It's about 1-2lb a week in 3rd tri!

I went through a marsbar phase a few weeks ago and ate loads of them, gone off them now though lol x

 

[Cas3]

I can see a 2-3 lbs gain this wk think im starting to gain fluid and fat for bf as well as baby gaining weight. I generally find in pregnancy the last mth I really ballon up.
Apart from the snickers I been quite good food wise but I find I feel up really quickly aswell.
I'm having chicken breast for dinner wiv potato and veg. Doing spring cleaning at moment so hopfully I burn off some calories x

 

[mrs-s]

Yeah you are in last few weeks now! I'm preparing to put on 10-15lbs in these last few weeks, baby will be gaining about 5lbs at least as well as the fluid etc you gain at the end even if I'm good I think about a stone these next few weeks!
I'm watching sabrina teenage witch the movie lol, gunna clean bathroom when it's gone off and then clean kitchen and make tea which is all calories burnt hehe x

 

[Cas3]

I can see myself easily gaining a stone in the nxt 4 wks, I think my babys birth weight will probably be at least 7-9lb! so cud put on more than a stone.

I get my section date this wk, hope its not april fools day x

I remember watching Sabrina teenage Witch

 

[mrs-s]

You can request it's not on a certain date cant you? If you really don't want it to be x
My baby weighs about 3lbs at moment and I reckon he's gunna be about 8lbs if I have a section if not then probably more 9lbs especially if I go over so that's a good chunk of what will show on the scales x

 

[Cas3]

I dont think she be as big as my lo, but not sure what size baby clothes to pack for hospital bag. Have you had anymore scans to check babys weight.
Last time I had a choice of 2 dates but it just depends how busy they are x

 

[mrs-s]

Iv not had any since 20 weeks got consultant appointment Friday so might discuss it then, I'm going to take tiny baby and newborn, if I go over I'll probably take the tiny baby out x

 

[Cas3]

I got my consultant this wk, dont think there give me another scan cos my measurements are ok now. I think I probably just pack newborn bits but my newborn stuff really varies cos somethings come up small and other sleep suits seem alot bigger x

 

[mrs-s]

Most of my things are from next because I get most my toddlers clothes from there too, the sizes are nice, think I'll take baby grows from there, definitely won't be taking and 0-3 though unless I'm having a 13lb baby haha x

 

[oasis6918]

I can't wait to start packing my maternity bag x

 

[mrs-s]

Iv got my hospital bag not packed it yet though, waiting for my changing bag which I'm getting for mothers day before I start packing everything x
