Slavette #3 is a mummy to be and she's moved back home.

I need advice on what type of meals I can make for her. I need ideas for dinners and snacks.

She's apparently high risk as her BMI is not good. To me she looks like a healthy normal lassie but the BMI says she is obese!

It's been many many years since I was expecting and everything is all different. Eat liver and drink stout was encouraged back in the day LOL

She's on anti sickness medication and has been referred to a specialised physio due to the pain in her hips and pelvis.

My wee girl needs looked after and I just want to make sure I feed her the right way.

Any suggestions would be brilliant.

All that's needed, surely, is for her to have a normal, healthy diet. It's all common sense - plenty of water, fresh fruit and vegetables, cut out processed food, watch sugar intake, cut out the foods one is normally told to avoid when pregnant (raw eggs, unpasteurised dairy products etc). Perhaps her doctor could give some advice, if neither of you are sure.

Thanks JulesF.

I know it's common sense really but as I said advice changes so much. We have never as a family eaten very much processed food as I and my husband both like to cook it's not seen as a chore but as a pleasure ( unless I'm cooking for 8 adults for the 6th day in a row and no ****er offers to help with the veg - yes I'm talking about you my darling daughters) .

We do have a lot of fresh veg but not as much fruit. The fruit tends to be apples, oranges, bananas. pears and soft fruits when they are in season. I suppose you could refer to them as the traditional fruit most people of a certain age grew up eating.

I need some inspiration for new dishes to try. My daughters appetite is quite hit and miss at the moment due to the awful all day and night sickness.

The BBC Good Food website is brilliant. There are tons of recipes, and you can search by ingredient or type of meal. There's a 'healthy' section too, which should give you a bit of inspiration!

Your daughter could try ginger tea or ginger biscuits for the sickness. It really helps with nausea.

Nonna is another word for Nana or Granny.

Thanks again JulesF

And yes this is our first grandchild Summer Breeze.

I think I'm developing "baby brain" mind you with some of the stupid things I've been coming out with recently
