My Pregnancy Confessions :/ Do you have any?

    I drink iced tea pretty much whenever we go out, and definitely whenever I get headaches.
    Diet soda is my friend! I'm drinking more of it now than I did any soda pre-preg.
    I'm diabetic and am supposed to be really careful of carbs and sugar, but milk and oreos are amazing, especially in the heat, so I've figured out the one time of day when they don't show on my blood sugar tests.
    I am dying for fro yo, even sugar free with fruit, so if somebody wants to tell me that it's okay, I'm willing to roll with it!
    I figure I can't be doing too badly. I'm down 16 pouns, but Little Miss is doing okay. We get a check up every 3 weeks and haven't had any problems so far.

    Caffeine. Can't stop, won't stop. Bad at drinking water. THAT needs to change. I forget my prenatals about 1-2 times a week. I rarely ate fast food pre-preg but now do it all the time (to be fair, our kitchen isn't fully functional and our choices here are lacking.

    I eat deli meat sometimes. I've eaten froyo. I eat bleu cheese. I had to have a tooth pulled in my first trimester and although I tried not to, I ended up taking one half of a painkiller.

    This thread makes me feel much better!!

    Last pregnancy I rarely strayed from the recommended dietary guidelines and exercised 3x a week; DD was perfect. This pregnancy I have at least one caffeinated/non-diet beverage a day (prior to pregnancy would only drink diet), eat lunch meat and/or tuna salad at least once a week, sleep sort of on my stomach, eaten feta/blue cheese, eat a lot more fast food than pre-preg, eaten soft serve ice cream/yougart/milk shakes, and have had some of DH's beer on occasion.

    @MaisyMay: My doc never advised against froyo - so despite the fact that other people say it's forbidden, I've been eating it

    I guess I have a few to add I to have faked cramps/aches to get out of certain house chores and outings:) I have also been guilty of faking a headache so DH would not be opposed to my caffiene beverage and allow me to take a nap while he manages our other children. I'm sure I have a ton more.

    @Lone Palm: I have read that if your system is used ti eating raw fish (it was a regular part of your diet before getting pregnant) that you're okay to eat it during pregnancy. Just be careful with the high mercury fish! I had sushi twice during my pregnancy...and lots and lots of deli meat lol.

    I painted a ton while pregnant (and spray painted), had sips of alcohol, ate what I wanted, got up in the middle of the night to eat...I could go on and on.

    @MaisyMay: I had froyo once a week throughout every semester of my pregnancy, my doctor laughed when I asked her if it was okay (I read it on hellobee). She said "man, in ten years you will have to live on leaves and water when you're pregnant."

    @Mrsdaredevil: I took care of that particular need last night with no sugar added ice cream, sugar free hot fudge, half of a banana, and copious amounts of whipped cream.

    @Mrsdaredevil: I asked my OB about fro-yo as well since I read it on hellobee. She also said it was fine! Woo hoo.

    I haven't taken prenatal vitamins since ~6 weeks when they started making me sick...I'm almost 35 weeks now. Basically my baby is running on 2 weeks of vitamins.... I eat very few veggies, maybe 3 servings a week. I don't drink nearly enough water, seriously only about 24 ounces a day ( I do drink a few glasses of milk on top of that though). I sleep on my back occasionally. I still lift heavy things when I want something done and don't feel like waiting. I keep saying people had healthy babies long before all the rules were in place. Hopefully my faults aren't too bad...

    I swore I would eat 100% healthy during my pregnancy (which for me meant sticking with a Paleo-ish diet). Well, that went out the window after the first month and I was only able to semi get back on the wagon during the second half of my second trimester.

    Today is my first day back to work after having the summer off {I'm a teacher} ... and I'm sitting here drinking coffee for the first time in 5 months. I'm telling myself it won't become a habit...

    I asked my doctor as well and she looked at me like I had 5 heads. She said soft serve is fine. I have had a severe craving for a McDonalds m and m mcflurry with added hot fudge. If you have not tried it. I would suggest it NOW! So delish. The other day I tried the vanilla bean Oreo coolata from dunkin donuts. Words can't express the sweetness. Yum!
    I have eaten way too much fast food. I haven't cooked in weeks. I do drink a lot of milk. Can't get enough of it.

    Just finished my first frappacino of this pregnancy (12 weeks tomorrow) and it rocked my world! I dreamed about getting an M&M McFlurry the other night; maybe that plus the confessions on this thread are a sign that I should get one today...
