Is it me or am I out of my mind?

We have been TTC for 2 months before that we just thought it may happen on its own.

I am hearing that when you are PG that you are not supposed to to eat tuna, sushi or soft cheeses.

@ this point I am the 2 WW- ( fingers crossed)

Is it me, or do most of you crave tuna salad, feta or mozzarella cheese or sushi.

What about caffeine and aspertame? My 2 biggest vices ( ETA MY VICES)

DO you give in to it if you do? Or have an opinion?

Do you have an occasional beer, wine or mojtio during this time or have you stoppped all of it?

I will have an occasional beer when in my 2ww. Most of my friends were loaded a few days before they found out they were PG, and their babies are just fine.

I LOVE sushi, and feta cheese, but tuna I HATE!!!!

Re: Is it me or am I out of my mind?

My first few months of the 2WW I was sooo careful to act like I was preggo. No alcohol, caffeine, soft cheeses, deli meats, etc.

But since the process is taking longer, I've let up on my own rules about it so that I don't make myself crazy.

Re: Is it me or am I out of my mind?

I used to be really careful in the 2ww...but as the months have gone by I allow myself to eat what I want (but I try and eat healthy). I'mnot a big seafood person or soft cheese person...and hate tuna. I do drink during the 2ww but usually once a wk end if we get together with friends.

Re: Is it me or am I out of my mind?

I eat/drink what I want pretty much, I'm not going to change until I get my BFP.

Re: Is it me or am I out of my mind?

I dont usually drink anyway, but I try not to in my 2WW. I dont change my diet at all in the @WW, mostly because when I was PG my OB said anythign in moderation (even tuna and sushi) was fine. I am careful about what meds I take though.

Re: Is it me or am I out of my mind?

I really don't change my habits anymore during the 2WW. In the beginning I was really careful, mostly about drinking, but now I just carry on normally...Drunk that I am!

Re: Is it me or am I out of my mind?

As many ladies said, I used to be more careful, but not anymore.

Re: Is it me or am I out of my mind?

at first I was careful, but then with the advice of my Dr. and preggo friends, I carried on- life as usual. I had wine with dinner, ate what I want, and now I'm 8 weeks preggo. As soon as I found out I stopped all bad habbits (which was pretty much just wine- I don't smoke, drink coffie). All my friends drank b/4 they knew they were preggo and their babies are happy and healthy.

You have to do what you feel is best for you. Again, my Dr. said there's nothing wrong with carring on as usual until you get the BFP (as the baby doesn't have a blood supply from you at that time until you get the BFP). Ask your Dr. what he thinks you should do.
