margaritas?....yes, i'm that girl.

Not having a turkey spinach wrap for lunch. I just don't like them toasted.

I am more surprised how much easier it is not drinking. I figured it would be much harder.

@Mrs. Blue: I get nervous ordering a decaf from a coffee shop, what if the barista forgot about my decaf?! I take a few sips just to be safe. I hate not enjoying my cup of latte!

Oh man do I miss sleeping on my stomach!!

Honestly though I miss just being able to have a few days where I didn't think about what I ate/drank/did. I just lived my life. It's stressful to constantly be mindful of all the rules.

@Mrs. Blue: FYI my doc said not to worry about back sleeping at any point. The concern is that it will slow your blood supply to certain parts of your body because of the pressure from your enlarged uterus and the baby. Obviously at this point that's not a risk at all for you since your baby is the size of a peanut. But even later in pregnancy she told me to sleep how ever I can get comfortable. If my blood supply is affected my body will wake up and I will want to roll to my side... so there's not point stressing about it.

Sleeping on my stomach was hard to give up, also eating whatever I wanted without having to think about whether it was safe or not

Coffee, Diet Coke, and cold cut sandwiches. I know, I know, you can still have them toasted, but it's not the same. We used to go to Jimmy John's for lunch all the time. And sleeping on my back, I too have been trying to break this habit since I'm already 14 weeks but man is it hard! I feel more ligament pains when I'm on my sides

for me it was cocktails and sushi!

Absolutely the booze. I've been very laissez faire about the other "rules" re: food and lifestyle, but not drinking. Some bourbon would be heavenly!

@Mrs. Blue: I slept on my back my entire pregnancy. Couldn't get comfortable otherwise. I asked my mom how she slept and her dad told her to sleep on her back, so she back slept on the floor with all 3 of us!

I don't drink alcohol and can do without caffeine, so I didn't really have to give anything up during my 1st and 2nd pregnancies..
I had sushi and deli sandwiches every once in a while too.

I miss coffee and tea so much! For me the most enjoyable part is the ritual of brewing coffee in the morning or fixing a nice cup of tea in the afternoon! I'm not doing any coffee or tea right now even though I know a cup is ok. I've always been very caffeine sensitive (like it took me years to work up to one cup of coffee a day without feeling awful) so I just feel like it's best for me to stay away.

@Mrs. Blue: I feel you on the caffeine! I LOVE coffee, and I really miss frappes. I make them myself with water-processed-chemical-free-decaf coffee, but it's a lot of work and not quite as good as starbucks or micky d's frappes.

Also, soft serve ice cream and frozen yogurt. *sniff*

Lox.

@MrsCastro: Isn't it sad? Soft serve ice cream and frozen yogurt are no no's because the machines often harbor listeria. Hard serve ice cream is fine.

Definitely coffee. Decaf is such a lame alternative.

Well, since I'm new to pregnancy, I've been having a hard time watching other people drink. For some reason, the summer makes me want a cold beer or a margarita, and it's been weird watching others. I'm excited for when it gets colder because then I'll just crave hot chocolate.

cocktails - especially mojitos.

Everything else I enjoyed in moderation (rare steak, frozen yogurt, deli meat, sushi, bit of red wine here and there, etc.) so it wasn't so hard to just enjoy less often, without denying myself completely.
