Just checking if Aussies are still on pregnancy vitamins? Like elevit or blackmores?

If you are wanting a girl, only folic acid is recommended unless you need other vitamins for a particular deficiency- good luck.
Thanks
I need to sign up for a plan once my blood test results come through, but in the meantime I have started the LE diet.
I need some lunch and dinner ideas please Aussie girls. What are some of your go to meals? Thanks :)
Welcome I want4kids :)
So finally the year of TTC! Not until mid year so have a few months to get my butt into gear. I am seriously overwhelamed though! No idea where to start.
Just start slowly babybells. Any changes you make will help. just start by trying to drop snacking between meals and having your breakfast later each day if you can't cut it out altogether. If you can stick to the LE diet limits most days (40-60g fat, 40-50g protein 1500-1800 cals) then that is great but just decreasing the snacking and amount of fat and meat you eat will really help. Just make sure to not cut back too much otherwise you can mess up your ovulation. I was on the LE diet for 6 months before I got my bfp, it was hard in the beginning but I got used to it after a while. Also low carb veggies are unlimited so they can really fill you up if you are getting hungry (still have them with your meal though if you can). I think my bub must be 1/3 potato, and at least 1/3 cucumber!
Welcome and good luck with your sway Iwant4kids.Quote:

Veggie stifry with rice or noodles is also a good option as you can use different veg/sauces to keep it interesting. Pasta with a veg bases sauce is also good. If I needed a sweet treat I loved skinny cow I cream cups too (low fat, 120 cal). Hope this helps
I love cucumbers so may just live on them!!! :)
I used to devour a cucumber a day with a little black swan skinny tzaziki dip as part of my dinner, helped fill me up with very little cals/fat/protein.
Thank you so much Kelbear! I really appreciate your ideas :) That has helped me so much!
