Ok, Let's Confess...

I know we've posted these b4, but with some pple being concerned about things they do and eat let's list the "bad" things we've done.

Oh, and BTW... our Mother's did sooo much worse when they were preggo with us and we survived.

* ate cold cuts
* colored my hair twice so far and planning on it one more time
* have chocolate once in a while... and probably finished off a sleave of cookies or big bag of choc covered gummy bears from Wegmans. Chat Icon
* had cereal for dinner many times
* had icing with splenda

I know there's more, but that's what I can think of for now

Lord, I can top that! Chat Icon

I drink caffeine at least once a day

I have eaten at least 4 boxes of Thin Mints by myself since the girl scouts delievered them

I still sleep on my stomach at 25 weeks

I take super hot showers

I eat cold cuts


Our moms did WAY worse -- at least our kids won't be sucking on lead paint and riding home from the hospital in our arms Chat Icon

Re: Ok, Let's Confess...

* i've eaten cold cuts
* i WILL dye my hair before my shower probably
* i have cheated on my GD diet and had coldstone creamery twice (so far)
* i have eaten italian food and not asked if the cheese was pasturized
* i have taken APPROVED otc medications (zyrtec every day, an occasional tylenol, zantac, etc.)
* i drink a coke, fanta or cherry coke zero EVERY day (if not more than one)

i agree with what you said though Erica - our moms didn't think twice about drinking, smoking, doing whatever they wanted and we're a-okay! Eventually, there will come a time when BREATHING is no longer good for us! Chat Icon Chat Icon

I know... it's true! Not only were they worse when they were preggo with us, but when we were newborns.

Oh, and yes... I was drinking coffee, but it gave me such bad stomach aches so that's the only reason I stopped.

Adding...
have ice-tea once in a while and as Lizzy said... I'm 33 weeks and still sleep on my back and not my side.

Re: Ok, Let's Confess...

I have had turkey cold cuts a couple of times, as well as bacon.

I don't eat fruits/veggies everyday.

I have eaten tons of junk food up until today.

I take really hot showers (although I didn't think this was a problem, just baths...)

Hot showers are bad?



I actually almost fainted from taking a really hot shower when I was around 10 weeks. I have always taken very hot showers, but that mixed with not eating anything yet that morning made me see stars.

This is interesting b/c (not to hijack the thread) but this week when I've showered I've had to open the window in our bathroom b/c I started to not feel so great! I always take steaming hot showers, i love them. hmmm. I use to hate having the window there now I'm thankful for it.

Re: Ok, Let's Confess...

I have had a piece of a hero once, dry sausage once and fresh mozzarella once.

I have 1 caffeinated drink once a day.

I eat 4 chips ahoy chocolate chip cookies for breakfast everday.

I hate sleeping on my sides...I always find myself going on my stomach, then i wake up thinking i have somehow made my baby stop breathing and turn.

I want to highlight my hair..still not sure about that one yet.

I don't open the window when I am cleaning the bathroom and the chemicals really make me choke after I am done...I really have to look into green products...

don't really have much to "confess" since I didn't plan on following most rules anyway Chat Icon but...

I've eaten cold cuts and drank soda.

i won't do anything with any artificial sugar, and I am trying to avoid high fructose corn syrup at all costs...

so I've been drinking my husbands mexican coke Chat Icon Chat Icon

I've also eaten taramasalata...that could be bad. but I love it.
