=BB I am 4 months pregnant! I have been managing quite well (no morning
=BB sickness) and staying pretty strict on my diet. Fortunately, I am not
=BB ultra sensitive (vinegar, etc.), because I've been obsessed with
=BB pickles.  Any advice for the next 5 months, for dealing with the
=BB hospital, and the baby?
 
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
 
Baked potatoes with butter and salt really helped my morning sickness, as
did almost frozen cottage cheese. There is also (lo-fat) ice cream. You
don't have to have saltines and pretzles!
 
As for the hospital, their food is usually the pits but for what you pay
in the US to have a baby there, the dieticians should be able to serve you
a special meal. Dieticians in hospitals are used to catering to special
needs and as long as you specify and REMIND them, there shouldn't be a
problem. As for your baby, since there may be the inherited chance of
him/her also being a celiac, keep to your diet after the birth (of course)
and nurse for as long as you can. There's nothing like mommy's milk - esp.
if it's GF!
 
Good luck and let us all know how you are doing!
