I have failed miserably in my ‘attempt’ to stay fit and eat well during my first trimester pregnant and second time round, my craving for food (any food) has been sky high!
My weight gain during pregnancy with my first child was a huge catalyst for this blog – previously named Diet Mum Feed. That said, my food intake didn’t really get going until my second trimester and once my morning sickness had faded (after a long 20 weeks). Although I’ve experienced morning sickness in my second pregnancy, it hasn’t been as bad as the first time round and that has also meant I’m able to shovel in a hell of a lot more food!
I am (was) so conscious to keep my weight gain to a minimum but I really can not control the current cravings I am having. I should also highlight that my cravings aren’t for anything specific, just all food!
As I enter my second trimester I’m still experiencing ‘morning’ sickness but perhaps there is hope for a more balanced diet in the weeks to come. I’ll keep you posted!
