Re: Pregnant ... share what do you eat/ate today...

Hi Sangeeta
How are u and how is ur pregnancy going..regarding healthy ready made things i would not b able to help as im not aware wht they sell in the stores at ur place..but try cutting up carrots and keep them in ur fridge..keep alot of fruits around u..so tht when hungry u can just have them right then and there..have sandwiches..so wht u can do is buy some pasturised cheese spread and bread and keep..when ever hungry..just spread some cheese on 2 slices of bread..make them a little hot in the microwave if needed..and u can have them..its easy to make..have some drinks which u mix with milk..in India we have Horlicks for mothers..so these drinks are very filling and gives u everythin u need for the day..

If i get any more ideas..ill let u know..keep smiling..keep enjoyin:thumbsup

 

Re: Pregnant ... share what do you eat/ate today...

Hi Nitheka..im also pregnant with my 2nd baby..dont worry..its normal..have u spoke to ur GYN..did u do an U/S..

There are many reason y u might not b able to feel ur baby..it can b that ur stomach muscles are strong..or u placenta is in the way and so when ur babys kickin its blockin u from feelin it..this is the most common reason..or else the position of ur baby..ur baby might b kickin u but u might not be feelin it as he/she is kicking u inwards..and wait till 21st to 22nd week..till then its normal not to feel any baby kicks..

But im suggestion is to speak with ur GYN..she will check ur babys heart beat and do an U/S..and she will give u the best advise and answer..:thumbsup
