I've been suffering extreme fatigue for several weeks now, always in the middle of the day. The midwife just puts it down to my blood pressure tablets (though they never made me tired pre-pregnancy) and since it always happens around lunchtime - in fact, after I've eaten - I'm looking at what I'm eating at midday and trying to switch to a low GI diet where possible. Recently as I've been so busy and quite tired in the evenings I've just been throwing a sandwich together, which I thought was OK as I was using granary bread, but I'm starting to think that's not the case and I need to spend a bit more time preparing my lunches. So here's the meal plan for this week:
Monday - working from home as I have an antenatal appointment
Breakfast yogurt with fruit
Lunch baked sweet potato with tuna and feta - make one for tomorrow as well
Dinner chicken pie and mashed potato (going to do this last week but didn't)
Tuesday
Breakfast yogurt with fruit
Lunch baked sweet potato with tuna and feta - make one for tomorrow as well - reheated in office microwave
Dinner Chicken and broccoli pasta bake with wholewheat pasta
Wednesday working from home and my husband has taken a day off (lucky him) as it's our scan today
Breakfast porridge
Lunch probably pick something up on the way back from the hospital or leftover pasta bake
Dinner salmon with broccoli and sweet potato mash
Thursday
Breakfast porridge
Lunch carrot and coriander soup
Dinner fishfingers/ chicken kiev and chips
