Hiya, I'm 21 weeks pregnant and want to start making sure I'm putting more vitamins and nutrients into my body as I've got used to eating far too much sweet stuff over Christmas! I just want to feel like I've got more energy and that I'm giving more thought to what I'm eating. Any motivational friends would help! X

    I love sweets and wished that I did not. I have attached a link here for further info. http://www.babycenter.com/0_six-healthy-fixes-for-pregnancy-junk-food-cravings_669.bc
    However, I don't believe in denying yourself anything while pregnant or otherwise UNLESS it is going to diminish or jeopardize the health of you or your baby. Just remember a very, very important word: MODERATION.
    This is my third child and I am now a ripe 47 years of age. I've had no problems, no health issues, and this pregnancy has been no different than ones I had decades ago. I wish you the utmost best in your pregnancy and congratulations. :)

    I have a ton of candy left over from Christmas, and I make it a point to allow myself a piece or two each day. I do that in addition to my eight cups of water, daily green smoothie, lean meat, and 16 oz. of milk per day. I see no reason to deprive myself of my sweets, and I believe in balance and moderation. I also have a small cup of coffee each morning--complete with milk and sugar.

    We got so much candy for Christmas in our stockings and after going crazy on it for a few days, I ended up just throwing out the rest. Couldn't have the temptation there!
