Dear Mom,
It seems that my pregnancy can be divided into the foods that were craved (weeks numbers are difficult to keep track of when your mind is turning to candyfloss you are very busy doing other very important things). After a period of wanting lamb-chops and oranges (and not terribly much else), I have now moved onto jelly-with-fruit and buttered-toast-with-marmite (and I don’t even like Marmite).
The lamb-chops and oranges kind’ve makes sense: the blood volume is increasing so you need iron, and you need vitamin C to absorb the iron.
But why jelly?
We could make up stuff about protein, but according to Wikipedia ‘gelatin is one of the few foods that cause a net loss of protein if eaten exclusively’.
Perhaps you have some thoughts, or maybe it is just one of those things.
Yours etc.,
Bronwen
When we were expecting Gee Minor, Mrs Gee craved chicken korma. Luckily we lived just round the corner from a decent Indian resetaurant.
Sardines for my mum with me. Mum HATES sardines…
