Two crackers from the diabetes nurse today...

[gremlinsmummy]

Firstly - did you all know that if you eat regular, small meals you won't feel nauseous? Why didn't I think of that? *rolls eyes*

Secondly - did you know that drinking calories is bad? Never mind that a **FOODMENT** smoothie **ENDS** is the only thing you can keep down, don't drink your calories ladies!

I was actually looking for the hidden cameras, I couldn't believe she was for real...

[krsweetpea]

Yeah, it's great isn't it!

[slterwil]

LOL! What excellent advice for a woman who isn't an HG patient. Good grief these crackerers and their "good intentions." Some days all I kept down was an ensure shake. You gotta do what you gotta do. Frequent small meals my butt! (snorts with laughter) Frequent small meals would equate to frequent pukes--right? Next time you should give her a demonstration. (Sorry, I'm feisty today)

Ah fack off!

Isn't this your fifth round with HG??Now how on Earth did you go through 5 pregnancies without figuring it out that eating small meals will make it all disappear!!!!!

[gremlinsmummy]

Beats me Kaydee lol - why didn't someone suggest that with #1, would have spared me 3 further rounds of misery!

[CarliBear]

seriously? drinking calories is bad?? who says that? guess i'm lucky i haven't heard that one yet!

[rachelandtyke]

lol, guess she wouldn't like my OB. They want me to drink calories. Last pg I had the MFM suggesting I leave his office and go home and eat a *FOODMENT* whole bag of chips or package of cookies *END FOODMENT*!

[Lizliterarius]

Oh she would've hated me. Silly little ma child was grown on *FOODMENT* mcdonalds french fries and coke.*END* that's all I could eat from 26weeks to delivery. I mean, the picc line wasn't enough?

foodments and drinkments abroad --

hooray for mcd fries! not something i'd ever eat normally, but oh! how i love them when pregnant. not even a food, really, but hey, they stay down. and coke. yum. really bubbly coke.

when you're starving, isn't it good to get calories in wherever you can? like in drinks?? duh. you're not on weight watchers.

and yes, frequent small meals equals frequent pukes for us. good suggestion, though, nurse.

my OB suggested as many cartons of ice cream as i could eat. he was kidding, but really wanted me to gain more weight. not like i could even eat ice cream...
