Does anybody else get every bug going and feel completly tired all the time? My baby also is measuring 5 weeks to big and how do you perk yourself up?
Answer
Your immune system is slightly supressed during pregnancy so you will get more colds etc. The only time I've EVER had a cold sore is when I've been pregnant.
I've had the cold for the last 2 months and a horrible hack at the side of my mouth so I totally sympathise.
I'd ignore the what they tell you about the size of the baby. With my first they told me at 34 weeks that he weighed 7 pounds. He as born at 39+1 and weighed 7 pounds 13 - so he only gained 13 ounces in almost 6 weeks - I don't think so!!
I'm already fed-up and I'm not due till June so I know how you feel. Try doing some stuff that you know you won't have time for once your baby's here. Read some books you've always wanted to, try out some new recipes, go and visit a friend you've not seen for a long time. If you're of a crafting disposition how about starting a scrapbook for when you have your baby? You could have a pre-baby pamper day with a friend or sister or someone. Go into town, book some beauty treatments and have a nice long indulgent lunch.
Also I would do an inventory of all your baby stuff and make sure you have everything you'll need for the first 6 weeks or so. With my first, when he was tiny, it took me till after lunchtime before I was even dressed. I was completely disorganised and wished I'd stocked up on nappies, wipes etc. It's also a good idea to do some bulk cooking of easy to heat stuff like soups, bolognese, casseroles etc. then you'll have a supply of healthy meals in the freezer and won't resort to ready-meals and take-aways.
if you haven't already done so, you could find out what kind of mother and baby groups run in your area. it's a good place to have a moan and makes you feel better cos' you're all in the same boat.
Honestly the next few weeks are the last free time you'll have so just kick back and enjoy it. You've only got about 6 weeks to go and it will fly in, believe me!
Good luck.

First of all, congratulations on your baby!
On the food part of it ... plan your meals for a week. I totally relied on Taste of Home recipes and -- without a doubt -- my CROCK-POT. It's the easiest thing in the world to use and there are all kinds of good recipes online if you don't have a cookbook.
Keep it simple but healthy for dinner so it isn't too hard to make. I'd make simple things with a main dish that your family can eat for two nights: Meat loaf with baked potatoes; salads with fresh veggies; baked chicken and fruit salad; things like that. Eat whole grains, too: brown rice, whole-grain English muffins and cereals, fresh vegetables and fruits.
Breakfast: I usually had cereal and juice or an egg and toast.
Lunch: A sandwich on whole-grain bread with deli meat and tomato/lettuce, fruit, yogurt and milk. I also ate a lot of homemade soup.
Basic dinners: Chicken and rice, lasagna and sourdough bread, pork chops and vegetables. Things like that.
What I snacked on during the day: carrots and celery with ranch dip, Laughing Cow cheese and crackers, nuts, South Beach Diet peanut butter bars (or granola), any fresh fruit, yogurt. (Hershey's Kisses, too!)
Cooking bigger quantities also helped me when I was pregnant. I'd make a double recipe of a casserole and then freeze the second casserole. On the shopping part, I enlisted my husband to grocery shop for me in the later months. But if you have to do it, do it without kids!
Another idea is those "dinner station" meal-assembly places, where you can make a lot of dinners in one evening to eat throughout a week or two. I have friends who swore by those places!
Best of luck to you and baby.
