I was drinking a Coke a day for a while there. Still do sometimes. (What makes Coke taste so good when you're pregnant?!) </p> <p>I usually try to cook a "good for us" dinner, most of the time. But then they'll also be times when DH and I will kill a bag of chips in 30 minutes. ::Shrug:: </p> <p>OH! And ETA: I just discovered cookie butter yesterday, and like, half the jar is gone already! :silly: </p> <p>So anyways, I think you're totally fine @mrscobee: !! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2137437 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 02:55:33 +0000 turquoisemama 2137437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg I ate so much sugar and snacks! Don't worry about it! I always let myself have treats but balanced it with lots of healthy stuff to. Sweets made me feel good and still do so I try not to beat myself up about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2137413 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 23:21:25 +0000 birdofafeather 2137413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Microscope: Oh man, I used to love that with pita chips!! But I'm lactose intolerant so it always did a number on me. I ate it anyway, but now it's been years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2137394 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 22:42:09 +0000 youboots 2137394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wrote this same post last year. Baby girl is just fine..... But I did get GD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2137380 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 22:08:47 +0000 MsMini 2137380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For about 3 months of my first pregnancy all that my body didn't instantly reject was sausage and egg mcmuffins, popcorn twists and pineapple ... my kid turned out pretty amazing if I do say so myself ;) I also indulged in at least a diet coke a day, coffee, chips, chocolate, and fast food with both pregnancies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136820 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 14:40:59 +0000 buttermilk 2136820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't changed much about my diet other than adding more fruit and protein. I'm a generally healthy eater and we don't eat out too much, tho DH and I do LOVE to split a freaking digiorno pizza every couple weeks. Lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136813 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 14:35:59 +0000 miramira 2136813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't worry about it if you eat healthily overall. I regularly ate Nutella straight from the jar and convinced myself that I needed lots if extra energy in cake form... Also, during weeks 6-14 I practically lived off of Spaghettios and cheese on toast. Couldn't stomach anything else! My baby came out healthy &amp; average weight :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136759 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 14:07:40 +0000 travelgirl1 2136759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat a lot of junk when I am pregnant. A lot! DD is awesome, all the ice cream and chocolate only made her sweeter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136758 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 14:07:18 +0000 mrscobee 2136758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha!!! Thanks everyone! I think deep down I know a lot of these things, but needed some good reassurance :) . Sometimes, my stressed out pregnant self goes into freak out mode, and all my logic goes out the window, until I am pulled back into reality LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136752 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 14:04:45 +0000 ms.line 2136752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If Panera soup is your "junk" food, you are wayyyy beyond fine! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136686 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 13:18:30 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2136686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Turd Ferguson: is right! (Damn that's a fun thing to say). There is NOTHING wrong with anything you listed &amp; the stress is way worse for you and baby than anything you're eating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136685 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 13:18:27 +0000 ehh5000 2136685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had a pop tart and a bagel today. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136677 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 13:14:13 +0000 Modern Daisy 2136677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please! Lol. DH got mad at me once for eating a waffle with ice cream and hot fudge for lunch and I STILL am mad at him for it, lol. I maintained a healthy weight and took my prenatals. DS turned out fine! Didn't breastfeed either and he thrived anyway :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136537 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:33:13 +0000 Oliviapope 2136537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had lots of soda, grilled cold cut sandwiches, fries . . . tried to make sure that if I was having those indulgences I was also getting my vitamin, fruits and vegetables. I had a beautiful 7lb 8 oz baby who arrived on her due date, and I also dropped the pregnancy weight within the first six weeks. (I had weight to lose when I got pregnant, so I'm still working on that now.)</p> <p>Don't worry about it! I think the fact that it's even on your mind means you make better choices more often than not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136524 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:30:54 +0000 Turd Ferguson 2136524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Half a soda yesterday...uh oh... </p> <p>Joking. Relax. Stressing about your diet is probably worse than what (not even bad) stuff you're eating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136507 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:25:08 +0000 gingerbebe 2136507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate an egg McMuffin or breakfast burrito for breakfast pretty much every morning for 4 months, burger and fries like 3-4 times a week, fried chicken, so much cheese and milk, and could not fathom a salad for most of my pregnancy. I had bad morning sickness for 6 months and the only thing that kept my nausea at bay was greasy foods, white carbs, and I'd go on iron benders where all I wanted was beef. I also had diet coke most afternoons to stay awake at work. My OB took me off prenatals bc I was so sick and just had me take folic acid. I did suck down a lot of fruit and veggie juice out of guilt but long story short, I had a perfectly healthy 6lb15oz baby who if anything could stand to gain a little weight. He is now 7 months and healthy, happy, active as can be. He hits his milestones on time or sooner, is extremely smiley, and honestly I can't imagine having done anything different during my pregnancy. You do the best you can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136490 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:15:56 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2136490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your diet makes mine look pretty crappy! I rarely eat organic foods, and I've been known to eat a ton of popcorn in one sitting. I think you're doing great, and @T.H.O.U.: is right. Your body is the best filter for baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136483 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:14:12 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2136483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pssh! Don't sweat it! Just remember the weight has to come off and also take a prenatal! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136477 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:12:28 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2136477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Remember your body is designed to be the best filter for your baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136471 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:11:16 +0000 danda 2136471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just make sure you are taking prenatals and try to stay within guidelines for weight gain if possible! I had every intention of eating super healthy while pregnant but the way my stomach is frequently upset I make do with what I want and don't worry about it. DD 1 is 21 months and very healthy and super verbal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136459 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:06:35 +0000 MrsSCB 2136459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, to me, organic fruit vs. nonorganic fruit is a nonissue (other than expense....) Fruit is fruit and you're doing well if you're eating it! Same goes with gluten -- I think gluten is a perfectly healthy part of a normal diet so seriously don't worry about it. As for sweets, soda, etc. I definitely believe in everything in moderation. Your diet sounds totally fine, so try not to stress about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136457 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:06:02 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2136457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Little one isn't here yet, but Monday I had spinach artichoke dip from trader joes for lunch. Like, the whole frozen cube, heated in a bowl, with pita chips. Only about 350 calories but all cream and cheese. I still feel guilty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136449 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:03:56 +0000 Adira 2136449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girl, you're doing fine! I had a ton of: pizza, Chinese food, fast food, soda, candy (especially peanut m&amp;ms), chips, coffee, etc. Both my kids are doing fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/guilt-about-everything-i-eat-during-pregnancy#post-2136440 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 12:01:40 +0000 mrscobee 2136440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I know this topic has been done before, but I'm having a freak out moment. I am generally an overall healthy eater, but during pregnancy I haven't been too strict with myself (for a while nothing sounded good). Currently being hard on myself for not being the healthiest, most organic eater on earth. I eat occasional chips, candy, sweets, gluten, tons of nonorganic fruits, had half a soda yesterday. Also go out for lunch a lot (not fast food), but I'm sure Panera soups have preservatives and additives and things.</p> <p>Please tell me about all the awful things you ate during pregnancy and the healthy, brilliant kids you have so I'll stop freaking out. Thanks! :) </p>
