For lack of a better word, when did you start following the "rules" about what is safe/not safe during pregnancy, including medications, alcohol, food, etc.?
-
I did at the beginning after my bfp. But I then had an ob who was pretty lax, said just don't eat somewhere that looks dirty etc. And I decided to go with the uk and french recommendations which are way less restrictive than ours. Baby is big and healthy and still cooking at 39 weeks
-
Once I got my BFP I would stop alcohol and meds, but I really don't do anything special as far as food is concerned.
-
Medications right away, food never.
-
Once I got a BFP. When we were TTC I was mindful of medications during the tww but not strict, just aware. Drinking and eating didn't worry until BFP.
This time we weren't actually TTC so I just started after I found out I was pregnant.
-
Once I get my BFP, I follow the medicine and alcohol rules. The only food rules my OB gave was nothing raw or unpasteurized.
-
I voted while TTC because I stopped taking ibuprofen, was taking prenatals, etc. I don't drink anyway and my OB wasn't worried about foods.
-
Not until BFP.
-
After BFP for first pregnancy (all rules).
This pregnancy, after BFP for medications but I'm not worrying about food at all.
-
As soon as I got my BFP I stopped drinking and stopped any OTC medicines besides Tylenol. That's about it. My Dr is pretty lax about most of the "rules".
-
After the BFP I stopped drinking (I was a regular drinker), and changed my meds, but that's been it.
-
When we were TTC I was mindful of medications that cause birth defects (specifically migraine meds) and I didn't get tipsy drunk. Once I got a BFP I started following the mainstream "rules".
-
Only rule I didn't follow was food. I ate everything! But I followed the med list and avoided drinking.
-
after my BFP
-
after BFP - except for some brie that I had left in the fridge. It was a really good one, so I finished it
-
After BFP.
-
At least three months before we began actively TTCing. I was trying to deal with some digestive issues and weaning off an inhaler. Once those were sorted and I was pregnant, I relaxed the rules, which I know is not the norm.
-
I just found out I'm pregnant and I'm trying so hard to give up coffee! it's so hard damn it. I only drink one cup in morning, from my own Nespresso machine. other than that, I don't drink and I'm trying very hard to remember anything with raw eggs!
-
Never (except alcohol/drugs)
-
i drank at a wedding before i got my bfp with charlie because i thought there was no way i could be pregnant (we were taking a break for over a year). but i got my bfp shortly afterwards!
-
I still drank coffee, ran 7+ miles, ate soft cheese and hot dogs and bean sprouts and slept on my stomach til 6 months. Baby's fine! No alcohol or any medications at all but the food requirements I absolutely do not worry about.
