what should i do ? ,my girlfriend of two years is pregnant and doesnt take her nutrition seriously at all.?
The real problem is that she was never a health consious person and now she has a problem with the vitamins prescribed by her doctor for her prenatal period despite my endless efforts to clarify the importance of these pills she seems to get frustrated and mad when I try to advise her on her nutrition, or even buy healthy foods for her to eat, I know that the pregnancy causes physiological and psycological changes to occur but she should know something as simple and logical as that right? andplease don’t reckon that I am not a patient man I am but I just so frightened for her and the child we are about to have and yes i have gotten other relatives to speak to her but she says one thing infront of them and then does otherwise when she is alone what can i possibly do? i like her very much and dont want to see her hurt.

it’s really sweet of you to care.
The pre-natal vitamins are pretty vital in helping to prevent birth defects, but if she doesn’t take them it’s not the end of the world, my sis in law didn’t take them and all of her children turned out just fine. But I can completely know about healthy foods, especially if the vitamins are lacking. I can also know on your girlfriends side but.. During my first trimester I found most healthy food made me sick just by looking at it (and I’m a healthy eater to start with) Maybe sit down and really talk with her about why she doesn’t want to eat certain foods, depending on how far along she is, it may be the nausea talking. As far as the rage and stuff goes. If she’s usually pretty mildly tempered it’s right the horomones may have something to do with it. I find that I’m constantly crying over small things and maybe even being slightly irrational, and i’m usually pretty level headed… (by the way I’m 16 weeks prego myself).
Keep encouraging her though, and make sure that you don’t seem patronizing while doing it. I’m glad you’re making the effort, you’re going to be a fantastic dad. Congratulations.
