Pregnancy Confessions!
Just wanted to share all the things I "did" while PG that I felt guilty about...CONFESS your sins and be absolved!
I have a healthy 9 month old by the way...
When I was PG 
--I had a can of coke EVERY morning on the train...and sometimes (very rarely) 1-2 more during the work day.
--I took MAYBE 15 prenatal vitamins because they made me so sick and when I switched to flintstones, I kept forgetting to take them.
--I highlighted my hair every 5 weeks from the second week I knew I was PG to 3 days before I had the baby.
--I NEVER drank enough water, and didn't try because I spent HALF my life on the toilet (PS, I peed my pants a lil bit once when I laughed at 36 weeks )
--I had fresh mozzarella every other week while at my Dad's from the local Italian store.
--I ate a FOOTLONG hot dog at 3 Met games.
--I never used cream on my belly, I hated the smell of cocoa butter...I have no stretch marks on my belly  but I did get a few on my azz (which are S L O W L Y fading)
Come share and be free!

Re: Pregnancy Confessions!
What a great post! Thanks for sharing!!!
I'll add my own confessions...
-I drink caffeine. Not a ton, but I have my diet coke once or twice a day
-When the doctor told me I was gaining too much weight at my last appointment, I left and got McDonalds...lol! I was thinking SCREW HIM I'M NOT TOO FAT.."double cheeseburger with fries please".
-I've eaten cold cuts and hot dogs in moderation-I don't really believe in denying myself every little thing. And i think the baby loves hotdogs.
-I told my husband that if I get upset from anything, the baby can tell and he will cry in utero. he believed me...until I confessed it wasn't true. DH didn't like that because he thought he inadvertantly made his son cry. Lol.
-I wore maternity pants when i didn't need to..just to "Feel" more pregnant. But i swore to everyone i had a belly. I think it was pure bloat.

Re: Pregnancy Confessions!
I still eat lots of things I'm not supposed to- just in moderation (hot dogs, cold cuts, blue cheese)
I have the occasional glass of wine and feel absolutely NO guilt over it

Re: Pregnancy Confessions!
I swore I would eat healthy when pregnant.
But now, on many days, I can only eat bagels, fries, mashed potatos and rice. I try and eat cottage cheese and fruit as much as possible.
I love looking more pregnant than I am in my new maternity clothes!
Now that I feel a little better I drink one small cup of coffee a day- it helps with the pooping problems! I am getting sick of force feeding myself raisin bran!!
ETA: I am getting very tired of queasiness, heartburn, gassiness and constipation!!

Re: Pregnancy Confessions!
Here are mine ..
* I also have the worst diet under the sun. I eat tons of junk food, but hardly eat fruit, veggies, or dairy. I am still more of a 'snacker' and not really a meal eater. I eat fast food and chinese and takout a LOT. I have not given up my daily caffeine fix in the AM, I still have my hotdogs (hey its BBQ season!) and I also indulge in other food "no-no's".... and I don't feel guilty either..
* While I cannot control my emotions sometimes, I will admit using my crying spells to my advantage. I've cried at work, cried to DH, cried to family, etc. just to get out of things I don't want to do. I love garnering a little sympathy or support for no real reason. (since I'm NOT a crier normally, and the tears easily flow now - I figure what the heck  )
* I stil don't have much of an obvious preggo belly yet in certain clothes, but will often stick it out purposely to make sure I look PREGNANT, and not just like I had too many cheeseburgers
* I also color and highlight my hair, have done so since week 12.
* I try to sit out in the sun every weekend, even though I realize it's not the best thing for my skin

Re: Pregnancy Confessions!
I have a whole bunch, but can't think of them all:
----I feel soooo bad for my tootsies for having to hold my fat arse up 
----I eat roast beef sandwiches at least twice a week 
-----I was happier than a pig in you know what when my nutritionist told me that I should be eating "regular" ice cream instead of "lite" or "no sugar added" 
----Sometimes I tell my hubby that I feel like crapola just so I won't have to do the dishes. Meanwhile, I feel perfectly fine
----I tell everyone that I don't eat salt, meanwhile I sneak it onto everything.
----I wake up every morning at 2am and eat a 2% Pollyo string cheese and drink a 1/2 glass of milk while I watch music videos for 15 minutes.
I know I do more things, I just can't think of them right now.

I do this too. And, once you let one tear out, they just don't stop

Re: Pregnancy Confessions!
Hahaha! I love the topics you are posting today
Let's see.....
-I had Sushi all throughout my PG
-Started out drinkin decaf but just needed to have some sort of caffeine so i went back to having 1 cup/day of regular coffee
-Stopped taking the prenatal in my last trimester  (got lazy and they were just too damm big!)
-Loved eating deli meat throughout my PG
-Didn't do the belly cream but then again didn't get any strech marks there
-Got manis & pedis all the time (i read that it wasn't good for you but i loved getting them)
I think that is it....if i think of more I will edit my post and oh yeah- i have a very healthy 4 month old.

Re: Pregnancy Confessions!
1. I LOVE coke from a fountain.
2. I eat junky cereal for almost every meal.
3. My baby might look like a pizza since it is my FAVORITE thing to eat.
4. I use crying to my advantage.
5. Eventhough I am cranky- I love my DH now more than ever. 
6. I eat coldcuts and drink an occasional diet coke.
7. I didn't find out the sex and when I think about the moment when the Dr. tells me what it is, I get all teary and excited.

Re: Pregnancy Confessions!
You all have pointed out such good things to take advantage of when I get pregnant. Some of them made me laugh a lot. Thank you, especially the post about crying.... too funny!

Re: Pregnancy Confessions!
I LOVE ALL OF THIS STUFF!!!
It's so interesting to see people's different things that they go through while PG...
**I lived on my DH's mashed potatoes the whole 9 months, would eat them as a meal sometimes...sometimes for breakfast and like 3-4 days a week...
**I once FREAKED OUT when DH ate the eggroll I was dreaming about on the way home from work! Like lose your sh&t-freak- -out whining for like an hour!
OH and the biggie--while I was being induced I had my DH and sister sneaking me the donuts I had packed and the pretzels and sprite I had my sister get on her way up to the hospital...I WAS STARVING and they wouldn't let me eat...how mean is that????

Re: Pregnancy Confessions!
I like this game.
-I looked the best ever while I was pregnant. It really agreed with me and I had some awesome maternity clothes!!
-I threw up everyday in the shower, I had a system, I drank a glass of hot water and threw that up (drinking cold water made me throw up cold...icky) The morning sickness didn't bother me one bit.
- I had starbucks, diet coke, more diet coke, tea and more starbucks coffee during my whole pregnancy. I was a total caffeing junky
- I had subway sandwiches every saturday...the baby requested them.
- I slept on my tummy until the day the nipper was borned
- I only gained 2.5 lbs...throwing up does a lot for a girl, so with a 7 lb 14 oz baby, I must have lost around 30lbs
- I like to look at Noah and say to my husband...I growed him in my tummy!!!
- Looking back at it now, I can't wait to do it again!
