Protein

I’m trying to lose 10 pounds eating in a calorie deficit. I found that eating protein curbs my sugar cravings and want to incorporate protein in my breakfast. I usually have a toast with butter and jam and cup of coffee ~250 calories. Any recipe ideas that would incorporate protein that doesn’t involve me eating salty in the morning that isn’t too calorie dense? Any egg based (sweet) quick meals I can make?

Add a nut butter to your jam on toast?

Sweet eggy toast (French toast style)
Whisk egg + a splash of milk + cinnamon + a tiny bit of vanilla
Dip bread, fry in a pan (no need for loads of oil)
Top with berries or a drizzle of honey

Protein yoghurt bowl
Greek yoghurt (high protein)
Add fruit + a bit of granola or honey

Egg pancakes (2 ingredients)
1 mashed banana + 1 egg
Fry like little pancakes

Overnight oats with protein boost
Oats + milk + Greek yoghurt or protein powder
Add berries

Boiled eggs + sweet side

Pair eggs with fruit or toast with a bit of jam

Hope i put it all down properly

Carrot cake baked oats is 👌https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1DaMPpHQhm/

I batch make both of these on rotation.

I also do chia seed tiramisu overnight oats but that may bot be sweet enough ?

I'm also eating in a 500 kcal deficit and these keep me full

Cramp in my right side

I honestly don’t know what to do, I don’t know what it is but it’s hurting a lot. I’ve got this cramp feeling below my stomach on my right side, it started as lower back pain on my right side but it’s gone to the front but only on my right side, I’ve took paracetamol but it’s been happening since half 8 last night and still hasn’t disappeared and I don’t know what to do😩is it braxton hicks? I’m really struggling to understand what these things feel like and it’s stressing me out.

31 weeks- waters?

Had a really weird experience this morning! Had sex and about an hour later went for a wee- had gone for a wee before sex too but then 5 mins later a gush of clear water liquid came out of me down my legs, over my hands. Not a trickle but not a puddle. Anyone else had this?

We went to MAU and cervix is closed and it wasn’t discharge so we’ve been sent home and told to monitor and monitor symptoms. Baby’s not engaged and moving lots.

Just feel like we need more answers than that?

Is it okay to have a birthday party on a Sunday? (Child will be turning 4)

May seem like a silly question but we’ve only ever been invited to parties on a Saturday 🤣

Midwife involvement question

I am 15 weeks now, and I have only met my midwife once for the intake appointment. She was lovely, but I haven’t been able to get in touch with her and my 12 week and 20 week scan have been scheduled in another hospital.

Wondering if this is normal and how others have gone about getting information/advice from their midwives between appointments.

has anyone else noticed their bump seems smaller?

i’m 15 weeks on saturday and my bump pic today looks so much smaller than the pic i took at 12 weeks. i’m wondering if it’s the bloating that’s gone down in the second trimester but i can’t help but worry. this is my second baby so i expected to get a bump a little earlier this time around but seems to be smaller.
