Do all of you preggos feel that you are doing everything right?

Do any of you feel that you are not doing everything you should be for this pregnancy. For example, do you all feel that you eat the proper things (fruits and vegetables), cut out the proper things (caffeine, etc.) and are being the best pregnant person you can be?

Or do you feel that you could be doing more or giving up more?

Re: Do all of you preggos feel that you are doing everything right?

I know I can be eating healthier but I know the baby is taking all the GOOD stuff from me and its really my own body im robbing..
Other than that, I feel like Im being a good prego mom.
I stay far away from alchohol and smoke and rest when I need to, take my vitamins, I dont eat the foods that im not sopposed to.. cut out almost all cafine ( just 1 small cup of soda a day). Go for my checkups.. I dont know what else I could do to be better except like I said maybe eat a little better.

Re: Do all of you preggos feel that you are doing everything right?

I feel like I could be doing more by being a perfect pregnant person and following all the rules, but I don't think that is realistic. I am not eating as many fruits/vegetables as I should, I'm certainly not eliminating any stress, and I am only cutting down on my caffeine. However, I am not getting drunk or smoking, I am taking vitamins, and I am avoiding deli meat/soft cheeses/nitrates. So I think I am doing great!

Re: Do all of you preggos feel that you are doing everything right?

Honestly, I feel like I COULD make myself crazy following every, little restriction and precaution, but there is such conflicting advice out there that I find that if I just follow what I know is a healthy lifestyle, for the most part, then everything will be fine. I avoid things like alcohol and smoke-filled places, I rest a lot, I take my vitamins, drink my water, etc. At some point, though, I need to preserve my sanity. When I think of all of the people that were born to smokers, drinkers, crackheads, etc., I think I'm probably doing pretty well in comparison.

I KNOW I should be eating better (fruits & veggies) but I'm also making sure I take my vitamin daily and stay away from the bad things like caffiene. I haven't been exercising and I think my body is starting to suffer so I bought a yoga dvd and plan to start doing that too. All in all I don't think I'm a bad preggo but there is always room for improvement.

I don't think that anyone one of us can say that we're the perfect prego.

In my case, I've stopped doing all the things that I shouldn't be doing (drinking, never smoked, no processed meats, raw foods, etc)... however, what I SHOULD be doing, I dont - like eating healthier, and drinking more than 8 glasses of water each day. Overall, I feel that I've been a good prego, because I don't deprive myself of food, and I stay away from everything that's proven to be damaging.

I totally keep forgeting to get away from the microwave!! I am getting my 5 fruits and veggies in and counting protein, only because I feel guilty being a vegetarian.

Re: Do all of you preggos feel that you are doing everything right?

I feel I could be eating better ... I've basically been shoving down anything and everything. I have cut out the caffeine and absolutely no drinking or smoking. I probably could be exercising but I didn't before so why start Chat Icon Otherwise I think I've been doing good, my biggest thing was no caffeine or alcohol
