Eating

How much food is everyone eating?

Im currently managing to eat: a bowl - 2 bowls of breakfast cereal.
Lunch, normally a pot noodle type thing
A cake
A bowl of fruit
And a small amount of dinner, by dinner, everything seems disgusting to me.

I'm a few days out of being 20 weeks.

Im 18 weeks and I’m similar with feeling gross by dinner. I always fed really full and don’t fancy much. I normally have breakfast, a snack (fruit or packet of low kcal crisps) then lunch, the another snack when I get home and then dinner if I can eat it. Trying to be a bit more healthy from next week as my appetite is better x

I’m 19 weeks and up until 12 weeks I felt sick all the time and didn’t eat much and lost half a stone. Since then some days I can’t seem to stop eating. Hoping it will balance out soon x

I'm 19+5 and I fluctuate sometimes I have one main meal a day and maybe a snack/fruit, other days I eat well - a few weeks back I struggled with food but, I'm better now😅 xx

I have porridge or maybe crumpets for breakfast, some eggs and flatbread with a salad for lunch, fruit as a snack might squeeze another flatbread with cream cheese if I’m very hungry in the afternoon. I am careful with dinner as well becaI often get heartburn after I have dinner.

I'm 17 weeks and up until about 3 weeks ago I suffered sickness quite bad almost everything made me sick.
The last 2 weeks or so I've had days where I eat everything in sight. Most days I'm better eating at lunch than dinner x

Oh I'm just eating whatever I can all
The time. I'm starving 😝 even when I was nauseous the only thing that fixed it was eating. Maybe you need to eat slightly bigger portions as your stomach has probably shrunk a bit which makes eating harder. Or eat little and often, like a small hand full of nuts or a cereal bar every half hour / hour. Focus on protein too. So try protein yogurt with your cereal instead, and nuts and seeds or protein smoothies ! Chicken salad or pasta for lunch ? Your daily diet seems like majority carbs which wont be making you feel great. ❤️

Thank you, everyone! Nice to hear other people are eating similar amounts and not liking dinner either.

I'll be focusing more on my lunch time meals from now on and aiming to up my protein somehow!

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

Separation Anxiety

My baby is nearly 6 months old and has just entered the separation anxiety stage… this evening I was trying to cook dinner whilst my husband was with the baby and he was just crying every time he couldn’t see me, with full blown hysterical sobbing, and as soon as he saw me again he started giggling and smiling. Any tips on how to stop this? And how long might this phase last?
My husband felt pretty disheartened and upset 😢
