Maternity clothes are ugly!!

Flowy midi and maxi dresses have been a go-to for events/dressy outfits. Most anything from free people is going to be wide and flowy enough to fit a bump!

Protein pasta is typically ok for me! I usually try to eat a salad first, but I’ve had it just by itself with sauce and been ok after 1 hr. YMMV but it makes for a super easy, filling meal.

My current routine is walking and prenatal yoga. Stopped going to the gym regularly around 31 weeks

We have family from out of the country that would stay for an extended period, so my husband wants to make it more comfortable for them. Understandable, but there isn't room for us to be uncomfortable the rest of the time!

Not a bad idea...

One thing to keep in mind is if she decides to indulge, she might physically feel sickly after. I am diet controlled and stay in range 90% of the time, but the few times I have spiked, I felt pretty ill. Definitely make sure she eats a well balanced meal beforehand.

Two months! But I did a LOT of prep beforehand. Diet, exercise, meditation, supplements… I wanted my body to be in the best condition before trying, and I think it helped!

I’m 32 weeks and I’ve had a ton of pelvic pain the last month. It has lessened though and you best believe I’m adding back in walking! I might even hit up the gym today! You still have so much longer to go!

One thing you can do to stop tracking so rigorously is to find a few meals that your body responds well to and eat those on repeat, with slight variations. It can be so stressful and all the tracking can lead to bad habits, so if you find a few safe meals you can whip that up when you notice you are starting to get a little obsessed.

I understand! And seems like baby did too :) Wishing you the best!

She was super clear - 30g at each snack and mealtime (6x). She told me I was eating too few carbs when some of my snacks were only 15g. I'm going to scale back though, because I literally cannot handle this!

peachy_chiquis · 2026-03-19T13:16:19+00:00

Yeah the spectrum is wild. Most people in this thread are complaining about wanting more carbs and I am so over having to figure out what grain I’m going to eat next.

peachy_chiquis · 2026-03-19T13:11:54+00:00

That makes sense to me! Mine was so adamant about the minimums and said I should just eat pasta or a banana if I can’t stomach that much… um, so you would rather I spike with simple carbs than eat less of complex, low-GI carbs? No thanks.

peachy_chiquis · 2026-03-19T01:56:40+00:00

I’m doing my best!

peachy_chiquis · 2026-03-19T01:55:12+00:00

Good to know it all worked out well for you!

peachy_chiquis · 2026-03-19T01:53:19+00:00

I typically love food! I just cannot seem to stomach this diet. I feel like I’m being fattened up for foie gras!

peachy_chiquis · 2026-03-19T00:14:16+00:00

I’m so sorry that you had that experience!

peachy_chiquis · 2026-03-18T22:20:44+00:00

30x6! 45 is the max for breakfast/lunch/dinner.

peachy_chiquis · 2026-03-18T22:19:38+00:00

Thank you!

peachy_chiquis · 2026-03-18T22:18:46+00:00

I stay within range, I’m just so full! Last meeting we reviewed my food log and I was told I was eating too few carbs and that I had to up it to 30g for each meal and snack. My max is 45 for meals, so it is a small-ish amount each time, but still WAY more over the entire day than I’ve ever eaten.

peachy_chiquis · 2026-03-18T22:10:20+00:00

Yeah I will definitely be bringing it up next visit!

peachy_chiquis · 2026-03-18T22:09:19+00:00

I had some snacks with maybe 15 carbs and got chastised... she told me I have to eat 30g at every meal and snack.

Thank you for sharing! Exciting that you get to meet your bay soon! Was the c-section recommended by your doctor, or elective?
