Vegan waifu...help please?

My Fiancée is a vegan and she's already 5++ months preggy...and I've been asking around and lots of people say eggs are great but is there any substitute for eggs...I mean she's vegan after all...if anyone knows please do tell...and some recipes for vegan dishes too won't hurt, after all I'm a meat eater and she ain't...😅 #1stimedad

Tofu!! Or anything beans related should be good. Soy milk, long and short beans, etc. basically any natural food that has high protein content.

Doctor memo to WFM

Hi.. My wife is 30weeks. Our follow up is at KKH. She feels very tired and weak all the time. Her work place is very far. But actually can work remotely. Has anyone try requesting doc memo to recommend work from home and rest. With this memo her HR can allow her to work from home. We dont want to waste maternity leave so fast. Thanks #pleasehelp #1stimemom #firstbaby #advicepls #1stimedad

If your wife can work remotely, then working from home is justified now given that wfh is the default option based on current guidelines. You can try asking your gynae for the memo, most probably they would be happy to help given the situation.

My wife is going through her morning sickness, she cant finish her food in even in small portion.

I am very worried over my wife's diet as she is not having appetite for food. Constantly nauseas and giddy. I am at a loss of what she can eat, and she has gastric issue too. Google has not been helpful too when we keep seeing conflicting information on what can be eaten and what to avoid during first trimester. Oh yes, my wife also underwent IVF in May and just recovered from OHSS #1stimedad #advicepls #pleasehelp

Totally normal in the first trimester but pls make sure she eats. Go for bland foods such as plain porridge, plain biscuits or bread. Can also get her the anti nausea/anti sea-band from Guardian/Watson. Wear at her wrist. Helps to curb the nausea. If it's too bad, can ask gynae for some anti nausea pills. Daddy, she needs to rest a lot ok. Her body is going through a lot of changes to grow your baby in her womb so let her sleep, let her rest. Usually the morning sickness will go at the 2nd trimester but some pregnant mums will still have it till their third trimester, depends on individuals.
