I miss cooking for my son, but everyone is different. We mothers put too much pressure on ourselves. When I was pregnant, I had that book What to Eat While You’re Expecting. I asked my doctor about it and he said in 20+ years of practice, he had yet to see a case of malnourishment. (Middle class patients, of course.)

Gourmet meals are not necessary. Neither, quite frankly, are gold standard nutritious meals every time. When you care as much as you do, your best at the moment is good enough.
