Today, after extensive tests due to pregnancy-related issues, I've been told my diet must change. I can no longer eat salt, sugar, gluten, or meat, and lactose is questionable. The doctor hopes it will end after the birth. Seven months to go. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I’m eating a salad with a sparkling water once again. I’m 7 months pregnant. My husband says he’ll leave me if I ever get too fat after I give birth. I can’t afford to be a single mom, nor leave the marriage, so this is the cross I have to bear. FML
Today, at 7 months pregnant, I have come to accept the morning sickness isn’t going to ease off. It’s so severe that I don’t make my meal choices based on calories or even cravings, rather on how bad it’ll taste when it comes back up. FML
Today, I found out that I'm pregnant. This brings me bad news and good news. The bad news, I'm a vegetarian. The good news, I finally know why I've been craving Big Macs for the last two weeks. FML
Today, I'm two months pregnant and can only seem to eat plain food consisting of mostly cheese. Now I’m constipated and haven’t pooped in two days. FML
Today, my doctor wants me to avoid carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Yes, I am looking for another doctor while I scratch my head. FML
Today, my husband and I found out that our daughter's chronic stomach aches are due to gluten intolerance, so we need to cut all wheat out of our diet. We're bakers. FML
Today, I asked my mom if she could include mashed potatoes and gravy with dinner. She then went on to yell at me about my "unhealthy eating habits" and how I've "gained a lot of weight in the past few months". I'm pregnant. FML
Today, I'm seven weeks pregnant. For the first time in a week, I feel well enough to eat something that isn't Cheerios, a bagel, or crackers. I woke up two hours after going to bed with the shits. I'm almost convinced this kid hates me already. FML
Today, after years of my very poor diet finally resulted in a long overdue health scare, I declared I must try to live healthier. Also today, I was reminded of my hypersensitive gag reflex (I'm autistic), which causes my body to vehemently protest the consumption of a variety of healthy foods. This sucks. FML
Today, I'm pregnant and feeling awful due to all-day-long morning sickness. My doctor suggested that I cancel all my social plans to be able to keep working. My doctor is also my husband, and the father of this child. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Seven months? I thought the human body can only go for about a week without food.

Your unborn child is already calling the shots! Seven months and 18 years to go!

After birth you'll just trade it for no sleep, no social life, no clean clothes and no sleep again.

So your diet is basically going to be rabbit food and water. If it weren’t for the unborn child if I were in your shoes I’d take a lead supplement and quit now.

Oh no, that's water! Food's about a month. Granted she's pregnant, probably half a month!

Thanks you for the correction. Got water and food mixed up.

Its the rule of threes: 3 Minutes without air (Or in icy water), 3 hours without shelter (In bad conditions) 3 days without water(If sheltered) and 3 weeks without food (If you have water and shelter)

Yikes. You should ask them if they can put you on some sort of dietary replacement formula, or you are going to get seriously sick, very fast. With that much of what's needed for basic life functions, never mind healthy functioning, it should be possible to get it covered by insurance under "failure to thrive" or a similar diagnostic code.

That sounds fishy. Get a second opinion!

Two words: abort fetus...

I think if that were a method OP was willing to consider, they wouldn't have said, "Seven months to go." Rather indicates a desire to continue the mission, that.

that's just cruel. ur killing an innocent life

@Tina Marie Its more of a parasite than a functional life at this point for one. Especially since its brain is either still undeveloped or still so underdeveloped it can hardly be considered a "life." Saying that someone should have to continue a pregnancy (especially if it were one they didn't want to begin with) that is putting their health and potentially life at risk is, to be blunt, idiotic. You are saying that they should risk dying for a child that they potentially don't want, and that either they have to take care of a child with their health ruined by the pregnancy, or that they should die and leave the child- and any previous children- sans a parent. Which could leave them to be raised by the spouse or partner- who likely resents the child on some level- with all the difficulties involved in single parenthood. It could also result in them being placed in the horribly overcrowded, underfunded, and unsafe government care. Finally, if someone doesn't have the desire to bring a child into the world, they have every right to have an abortion at a reasonable time period. It's THEIR body, not yours, not the church's, not the governments, not the fetus's. Unless you personally would somehow carry the fetus the rest of the pregnancy term, and personally care for the child, don't tell someone to not have an abortion if they want one.

I hope you like fruits and veggies!

I assume that you also can't eat the standard pregnancy diet restrictions like fish, cheese, eggs unless overly done, raw vegetables and cafeïne. How exactly are you going to survive?
