[QUOTE="bugs87uk, post: 1568727, member: 49947"] I have considered this plan in the past. I do try and eat well. I have meals that consist of mainly veg with a bit of meat and some small carb on the side. When I found out I was pregnant I was actually due to start a new job three days later, however due to the extreme stress and having to be away from home for twenty weeks, therefore missing vital appointments, we agreed I couldn't start the job so I was then unemployed. I now only work 6 hours a week and am going through stress of trying to sort out housing benefit but have got a hundred people chasing me for bills bills bills. I can't afford to buy food at the moment so I'm literally making a meal for six people and eating that every day. I live of toast for breakfast because it's cheap and I don't usually eat Lunch because I can't afford to. I might nibble on some cheese or a yogurt (munch bunch low sugar) or even a piece of fruit but that's all I can do :( my partner works part time and he is expected to pay for everything on his pathetic wage and he already has three children from a previous relationship that he provides for. Mind you they are all grown up now but he still likes to treat them. Just feel so helpless and feel like no one wants to or can help me. My next antenatal is Tuesday and my consultant is going to help me apply for healthy start vouchers but we can't even get working tax credits because my partner works less than 30hours. Grrrrr it seems like they just want to help those who are better off or don't want to work not those who actually need the help. Sorry I'm ranting. [/QUOTE]
