During the third attempt, she was told to increase her protein levels and opted to eat a daily Big Breakfast and sausage McMuffin along with burgers, shakes and buns from McDonalds. Laura, who was a vegetarian, also had a craving for meat during her pregnancy.
"It all seems like a blur now. I just remember the cravings were so strong that I would wake up in the night and make my husband go and get me a McDonald's. Eating meat definitely helped me get all the protein you need when you're pregnant. I think it could be one of the reasons I managed to carry all three to full term", she said.
