Girl, you're doing fine! I had a ton of: pizza, Chinese food, fast food, soda, candy (especially peanut m&ms), chips, coffee, etc. Both my kids are doing fine!

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!

Remember your body is designed to be the best filter for your baby.

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!

Half a soda yesterday...uh oh...

Joking. Relax. Stressing about your diet is probably worse than what (not even bad) stuff you're eating.

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

@Turd Ferguson: is right! (Damn that's a fun thing to say). There is NOTHING wrong with anything you listed & the stress is way worse for you and baby than anything you're eating.

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 & average weight

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.

@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.

@travelgirl1: ooh, I'm totally gonna use this to justify all the sweets I eat "It'll make him sweeter!"

Seriously though, I'm vegan and like to think that I'm a health-food type, but I also eat a ton, and I mean a TON of junk. I was drinking a Coke a day for a while there. Still do sometimes. (What makes Coke taste so good when you're pregnant?!)

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::

OH! And ETA: I just discovered cookie butter yesterday, and like, half the jar is gone already!

So anyways, I think you're totally fine @mrscobee: !!
