Hmmmp... I'm suddenly lactose intolerant! Who would have guessed? Thanks be to my baby for all of these changes... Now I can't eat all my favourite things... No milk, ice-cream, mphokoqo (traditional dish), lasagne, mac and cheese, no bran flakes, no yogurt, no yogi-sip, no custard, no pudding! None of the things I really love to eat...
Dang! Being pregnant is no child's play... You know it took a while for me to realise my new condition... A few weeks actually. I'm really slow sometimes but then again, nobody has so many milk products in one go. So when it finally clicked I went into a little panic...
I mean... What am I going to eat now? I'm already having a horrible time trying to get the best possible healthy diet... But then it hit me, my baby is going to have brittle bones! Oh my :( he/she can't grow well to be big and strong without proper calcium supply! So about and hour or so ago I rushed to the pharmacy for calcium supplements.
I feel a little better now. However I've just realised that parenthood has already begun! It begins long before the baby is born. Everything I do, or fail to do will affect the baby. Whether the effects be adverse or good, I'm the one who decides... Aaaaah! PRESSURE! But you know what? I know I can...
