I’m Already 10 weeks Pregnant

June 25th, 2010

I’m on my 10th week now. So far so good. I’m gaining appetite again which I can say is a good news because I used to hate eating in my first few weeks of being pregnant. I even lose weight form 100lbs to 103lbs to 98lbs. I hope I could gain more weight for my baby. I often feel some pain in my lower back which according to most people is normal because of my expanding uterus. I’m now starting to crave for food, like the other day I was craving for an Almond jelly and Panacotta I’m just so blessed because my hubby is always there to support me and he’s really very patient of me now that I’m having some mood swing. They said that 10th week is the start of a crazy emotional changes, I’m not yet sure about…. but I’m starting to feel wasted and lazy maybe it’s because of my high body temperature that make me feel irritated easily. And of course the never ending peeing, I sometimes cry myself because I could sleep continuously because I have to pee. I’m still nauseated at times but unlike before I only feel like vomiting when I smell something I don’t like.
I still haven’t shown yet, only people close to me notice the small bump I have, there are also times that I don’t feel like I’m pregnant. Just like the other day, on our way to my office, I told my hubby that I don’t feel like I’m pregnant that day but after a few minutes I felt something in my tummy that make me want to puke, it funny it’s like my baby was trying to tell me that he is somewhere inside me and I don’t have to worry about him of her.

Pregnant women with Diabetes should Monitor their Weight

June 22nd, 2010

It is important for pregnant women with diabetes to monitor their weight.
I just got a message from a diabetic friend that she’s pregnant, so i did my research and send her this:

You should monitor your weight and food intake.

Drastic increase in weight approximately 6.5 pounds per month contributes to insulin resistance’ while weight gain of only half a pound per week (or less than 2 pounds per month ) is a sign that you and your baby are not receiving sufficient nourishment.

you should receive a total of40% to 50% of your daily caloric count from carbohydrates make sure these are spread throughout the day. Low carb intake may result in hypoglycemia, while too much carb intake will elevate your blood sugar levels. Time and plan your day’s first and last meals no more than 10 hours apart to avoid low blood sugar.

Choose food rich in complex carbs such as high-fiber breads, oatmeal, whole wheat and brown rice. Avoid refined sugars and sweets as well as instant noodles and processed breakfast cereals.

Protein should compromise 20% to 25% of your daily diet, limiting fat too only 30% (monounsaturated and Omega-3) Limit your sodium intake to less than 1/10 tsp per meal.
Evey pregnant women should watch what they eat, because they are eating for two. But Diabetic women should be more concern about their weight and food consumption.

Vegetables Healthy Noodles are here

May 27th, 2010

In the Philippines The government is now introducing veggie noodles. Through the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) of Department of Science and Technology.

They developed different types of noodles that were made out of different vegetables, like squash,jute leaves and other green leafy vegetables, not to mention seaweeds too.
Vegetables are known to be very rich in vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin A, iodine, iron, protein and a lot more.

Noodles that are made of squash are pasta, instant noodles, and fresh miki or eggless noodles. Seaweeds and jute leaves were made as instant spaghetti, flat noodles and iodine-rich fresh miki.These noodles was first made for a feeding program to the less fortunate. Especially those who have Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD), Iodine Deficiency Disorder(IDD) and Protein Energy Malnutrition. This is just on time right now, While the price of flour(one main ingredient of noodles) is constantly increasing in the world market.

Based on FNRI 50-gram serving of squash noodles, can give 16 % of energy, 20% of protein and 24% of Vitamin A. Which is just enough for recommended Energy and Nutrient intake for children ages 4 to 6 years old. While noodles made of jute leaves can give us 15 % of energy, 18 % protein and 36% of Vitamin A. And seaweed(guso) noodles/ pasta can give us 12 % protein and 22 % of iodine. These may not be much, but it’s better to eat veggie noodles than just the plain ones.

The color of squash noodles are bright yellow. While noodles from vegetables are all green. These noodles are firm and don’t have unpleasant smell. and has a fine texture compare to those commercial noodles.
