uh, yeah. mommy shame. I was SO not consistent with my prenatal vitamins (even though I switched to gummies!) and I consumed caffeine (stayed within the recommended guidelines though) and sushi (only from places I trusted, aka expensive places, and only a few bites) and alcohol (just a sip here and there). Oh and I did have deli meat quite a few times.

@mrs. wagon: I was also terrible with my vitamins, the shame! I have no idea why it was so hard for me.

I also ate subway once a week. I just figured that the subway near my work was so so busy, there was no way the stuff wasn't fresh. I also craved it like crazy the first pregnancy and was so tortured... couldn't resist the 2nd time around.

yup! and my 2nd baby has less/no problems even though i didn't follow anything (ate sushi, rare steak, oysters, egg yolk, caffeine, deli meats, etc).

my 1st baby had eczema/skin problems and was semi-colicky and had acid reflux and has a pb allergy. my 2nd baby seems to have zero issues so far!

I have done things pretty much the same with my 3 girls- limited caffeine, no deli meat or alcohol, no sushi (I don't like it anyways) I figured these weren't huge sacrifices and completely not worth taking the small risk of something going wrong.
