Aa
WATERMELON!
For those of you who are constipated, nauseas, or at the end of pregnancy and having swollen feet or leg pain...eat watermelon! I was craving it so I got one and cut it up and have been eating it for the past 2 days. All of a sudden I'm not constipated anymore so I looked it up. It's 87% water (to keep you hydrated) and 12% fiber. It's a natural diuretic so it can help you lose water weight ( swollen feet/leg pain) so its great to eat especially when prego! And it is fat free so you can pretty much eat as much as you want. Also because it's made up of water, and has mild flavor its awesome for morning sickness and keeps you well hydrated. Just wanted to share with you ladies!
When do food cravings kick in? Cause I'm craving watermelon now.
Oh no lol. I'm trying to keep it in moderation but it is. So good and refreshing right now. As soon as I start I can't stop lol
That's all true! When I was prego with my now 18 mnth old thats all I ate all summer long and I guess I ate a lil to much because my son hates it lol
I hope it helps!
I just ate a bunch if watermelon today. I have some water retention happening again today, and haven't gone to the bathroom. I will let you know if I see a difference tomorrow.
Did it help anyone else!?
YES!!!! we're so excited about all that too!!!! gosh I can't wait.. yayyyyy for October babies!!! lol -- add me as a friend!!! (((:
I decided wearing sandals and dresses is better than coats and boots lol. And it'll be just in time for all the holidays and all of the cute stuff saying "baby's first Christmas/ new year/ turkey day" lol
Amen!! already told my fiance I plan on dresses being my attire for the summer!! lol great minds think alike.. always wanted a Fall baby.. definitely didn't think about the hot months leading up to it! haha oh well, it'll be super worth it! ♥
I know! Lol I'm so looking forward to wearing dresses. It's easy on the belly and keeps me cool haha
@angelama14 I know right?! super happy it's getting warm though, cause I've been burning up & having to wear too many clothes up until now lol!
Great information ,thanks for sharing.
I will let you know. I'm totally having the constipation issues too, so I welcome any sort of relief from that as well :)
Oh no lol, well I hope it helps. You'll have to let us know !
Thank you so much! I wanted to cry because my calves look like they belong on a cave woman!!! I didn't know what to do about retaining water. I'm going to the grocery tomorrow!
Octobermommy2014 tell me about it! I'm due October 31st and I live in north Carolina. Its been in the 80s all week already! That's why watermelon sounded good to me in the first place lol
