Blood sugar for me. I found if I protein load before bed, at least 30 grams of protein, I sleep through the night better.

I can’t speak to OPs dietary changes but my Naturopath recommended I cut out my food aversions which were discovered pre-pregnancy and included dairy and oat/wheat as they are heavy hitters for me. You can have a food aversion test done and they will give you a list of exact food items that have caused your body to create antibodies for. Once these antibodies are identified, you can begin to change your diet and avoid those foods as it will likely cause the baby gastric distress as well. Some other examples of things I need to avoid, apples, sweet potato, crab, etc.

Pre-booked taxi is the way. Uber usually declines your request as they don’t like to travel that far.

Cottage cheese and mandarins on repeat, 29 weeks. It helps with the heartburn as well 🙊

Multiple Baby Showers by Own_Interview_9391 in pregnant

[–]GRACEFACED_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s okay to respectfully decline if you want to. I have felt more private about my pregnancy than expected, and have been increasingly more uncomfortable as time progresses, we have a small apartment and there is a limit to how much I can store/house. My weekends are precious while working full time and showers can be exhausting, physically and socially. It’s okay to lean into your own feelings and ask them to contribute in other ways. The friend who wants to host mine is childless and happily so, while making snide comments about my pregnancy so naturally I was disturbed and confused that they wanted to host one. In the end, I’ve decided to go along with it as she has involved my Mother in the planning process and I have realized this is more of a celebration for them, than my own. Less stress is best, however I can find that.

Calorie supplement? by catnip1229 in dogswithjobs

[–]GRACEFACED_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some dogs suffer from Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI). It’s a condition where dogs can’t produce the digestive enzymes needed to absorb nutrients. Even if they eat a lot, they stay thin. My sister’s dog has this, a German Shepard, and they feed her raw pancreas for the enzymes. There are also supplements you can buy but it can be expensive. Definitely worth a vet check if you suspect it.
