I'm 17 weeks pregnant with my first child, and my husband is being super overprotective of me.

I get it, he's excited and wants the best for our baby, but it's starting to feel like he's controlling my every move.

The latest thing is that he's hired a nutritionist to plan out my meals. At first, I thought it was sweet and caring, but now I'm starting to dread food.

The nutritionist has me on this super restrictive diet that's all about veggies, fruits, and nuts and grains.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a vegetarian and I love healthy food, but this is taking it to a whole new level.

I'm not even allowed to have a tub of ice cream or a slice of cake once in a month.

And the worst part is, the food is just so boring. I'm talking mashed veggies, bread, and fruit salad every day. It's like eating a six months old kids food.

I've asked the nutritionist if she can mix it up a bit, but she just says she's the "professional" and I should trust her.

Yesterday, I was out with friends and they all ordered coffee and hearty lunch. I was resent ful.

I had to sit there and watch them eat while I had to wait till later to go home and eat the bland food.

My friends think my husband is controlling.

I'm scared to bring it up with my husband because I don't want him to think I'm being ungrateful or that I'm not taking care of myself.

But honestly, I'm feeling really nauseous and I have no appetite. I also started having this habit of crying in the bathroom after trying to force feed myself the food she makes.

I just want to enjoy food again without feeling like I'm being monitored.

Any suggestions?
