Hellobee Boards

I drank coffee daily during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters, didn't worry too much about cheese or deli meat, but didn't go out of my way to eat them, and had a glass of wine or a beer every day of the last week I was pregnant.

Eta: I ate my burgers med and my steak med rare!

My doc said deli meat and soft serve were fine along with a cup of coffee a day. So I do all of those!

-I have coffee, coke, or tea every day
-eat deli meat occasionally
-have had sushi, although mostly cooked
-have soft serve
-have eaten Blue and Gorgonzola cheeses
-have had my hair done a few times

I am much more relaxed this pregnancy than I was with my first!

Rare steak, deli meat, coffee, soft cheeses... no alcohol though, didn't want to compromise on that one at all!

@lemondrop: Same!

@MrsKoala: @LovelyPlum: Oh yeah, and skydiving. Haven't done that with either pregnancy

@lemondrop: Lol, right on.

I have had 1 cup of coffee/day throughout my pregnancy (my doc said it was fine). I also ate cold leftover pizza with pepperoni on it for breakfast one day bc I was in a hotel (I think it should've been heated due to meat?). Oh and I dyed my hair. I've tried to follow "the lists" pretty well. Although I need to track down some pasteurized eggs because I've been craving dippy eggs for weeks and also I'm making Christmas cookies next weekend and will be sad if I can't eat the dough.

I had a runny egg tonight as part of my dinner--we were at a fancy restaurant and it was part of a dish on the tasting menu...dh ate some of it, but oh well! Also some cheeses that I wasn't sure were pasteurized--it's hard to tell when eating out! I've had small amounts of coffee/tea, but my dr says 1 cup a day is fine and I've stayed below that number. And, I've had sips of dh's wine and beer as well.

@LovelyPlum: @HLK208: I make the cookie dough and just don't add the eggs in Guilt and totally risk free to me then, plus I don't really notice a taste/texture difference.

@lemondrop: Yup, same here. Moderation is the name of the game. I think a lot of the rules are pretty ridiculous and I therefore chose to use my common sense to determine whether or not I should eat or drink something.

I will admit, I am much more lax this time though. Last time I had a big hang up with deli meat and soft serve, although ate everything else on the no no list in moderation or sparingly, but this time I have thrown those rules out the window as well.

Raw cookie dough and cheese are my cravings. I've been eating them like crazy (separately!).

I have a glass of wine a week (ish), and I only eat deli meat rarely. But hot dogs are totally on my okay list! Along with the occasional mountain dew...

@lemondrop: same

@LovelyPlum: I actually make a batch of eggless cookie dough so I don't have to feel guilty when eating the whole thing

@nana87: @BabyBoecksMom: I'm apparently a rebel without a cause, then, because I've had some with raw eggs in it. And I like runny eggs. But maybe I'll make a batch of eggless sugar cookie dough when we do Christmas cookies, so that I can primarily eat that!

I'm also way more lax about the wine thing than I thought I would be. I didn't have any during the first tri, but I've had a few half glasses here and there over the past month. DH is fully supportive, so I just roll with it.

@lemondrop: Yes!!
