Pain and food

I'm in pain! My problem-free, healthy pregnancy has turned into a bit of a nightmare. I have SPD - Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction. I have problem with walking, standing up and sitting. So basically laying down is the preferred position, which is not the most practical. I'm still working, one more week to go, and 4 weeks until due date. So not long now.

With this in my mind, the food is not high on my priority list. I feel that I can't plan what I should eat, which is a must for healthy eating. The mornings still start with green smoothies, but after that is basically whatever is easiest and least effort (read: least walking to get to). I try to have avocado and some healthy bread for breakfast. Lunch - ready made salad from shop or vegetarian sandwich or left overs from home. Dinner - something quick like a pasta or rice dish. Far from being high raw, I'm basically "ticking over" so to say. Then when I take the time to ponder about it, like now, I do find myself procrastinating again: I'll start with more raw food after the baby has come. So that's the plan for now. I might change my mind, maybe once I stop working and don't have to do anymore commuting, sitting hours behind the desk and so on, I might get motivated to add more raw food to my diet again. We'll see...
