‘Being pregnant. Although my son is now 10, I still remember how my diet changed when I was carrying him. I didn’t suffer with morning sickness, but I did need to eat more regularly so that I didn’t feel light-headed and weak. In the first part of my pregnancy I was constantly ravenous and for the last few months I had to stick to small portions. While I didn’t have any real cravings, I frequently fancied a lettuce sandwich with salad cream – something I’d never eaten before I was pregnant and haven’t eaten since!’
