[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The midwives diet is insane and it exacerbated my eating issues (I had an eating disorder at a younger age) in my first pregnancy. It’s orthorexic and excessive, and following it doesn’t guarantee you will avoid complications in birth. It’s also quite classist and ignores the reality of poor women who live in food deserts, lack access to fresh produce, and can’t afford organic salmon and kale. It also isn’t respective of cultural dietary differences - like, would they tell Ethiopian women not to eat injera? Or Japanese women they can’t eat rice? Or Orthodox Jewish women they can’t have challah or matzoh? Eat what  you want in moderation. And frankly, a much healthier approach to eating is called Intuitive Eating (Evelyn Tribole has a great book on this) and it won’t cause you to feel any shame for eating a bowl of pretzels. Because you absolutely should not ever feel that. [/quote]

I didn't even read the guidelines and I had a fine birth.  Just live your life OP.  I'm going to guess this is your first.  [/quote]
