I don't throw out makeup even if it's really old. If I'm still using it from time to time, it stays in my bag and I break it out when I need it. My mascara is at least a year old, and my concealer, though on its last legs, might be over 5 years old. I've been using it lately to cover up my new acne. I don't even want to tell you guys how old my brushes are.

@peachy13 I do a similar thing... when I'm running low on something (makeup), I buy a replacement, but won't throw out the old one "just in case". So I have a drawer FULL of super old, almost-run-out compacts, eyeshadow pallets, eyeliners, etc. It's ridiculous, but I can't get myself to throw them out.
@peachy13 Plus one! I replace things I run out of, or my mascara dries out and I'll get a new one, but otherwise... I don't even want to guess how long I had my first BareMinerals blush until it ran out. And the one I'm using now isn't much newer. Haha.
I ate a deli sandwich at lunch without heating the lunch meat up first and I'm not even a little bit sorry.
I'm not even going to bother 'confessing' to all of the pregnancy 'rules' I break... because it's basically all of them except smoking... As a matter of fact I just bought some brie with my groceries and I fully intend on devouring it later.
@peachy13 Yup. I still have quite a lot of stuff from my wedding which was 3 1/3 years ago... but it was FUCKING EXPENSIVE and I am not throwing that shit away.
I'm so tired. I was actively trying/allowing myself to fall asleep at my desk. Then I had to answer a stupid email. Think I'm gonna try to sleep again until the next email/phone call...
Uuummm...I never heat up my deli meat, I haven't stopped eating brie or feta and I WON'T stop. Ever. As long as it's pasteurized, I'm eating it. And I had a half glass of a delicious Silver Oak Cabernet last week. It's was delicious. @kvacmak Nothing irritates me more than when someone comes over and starts cleaning. Even if it's their dishes after dinner or something. If I say don't more than once, then seriously. Don't. I've got it.
Go to Liana! It's the BEST. New, beautiful, so much fun, awesome wine... Totally my happy place in Napa.
A group of us from my last BMB did a girls weekend in Napa and had a blast there. Last time I went they asked when my drunk internet mom friends were coming back because we were so fun. It's how I know I belong there.
I don't heat deli meat, I drink wine/beer/hard soda, I love hot dogs and sushi (but not together...). I don't like bean sprouts so I don't have to deal with those... I love coffee!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this whole list of things to stay away from under all circumstances is a tad ridiculous. @tamaraaaa Thanks for the tip. We'll go check it out. We're really just driving up quick to pick up or Staggs Leap wine shipment for this quarter, but my husband would probably be down to try a new spot.
Omg you guys are making me feel like Jasmine from Alladin lol! You can be preggo and not follow all the rules? What?!?
Lol i Guess my flame worthy thing is because I've been scared to mess up my IVF or new pregnancy I haven't had sex since December 2016
No worries, @jackiesmom324, this will be the third pregnancy in a row where hubby and I abstain out of fear. PGAL brain is a bitch.
PS) it's not so bad really. I'm usually too uncomfortable or tired to even think about it, and things go right back to normal after baby is out and safe.
@nme33 and @jackiesmom324 , I finally put out for the first time since our IUI this week. Luckily DH is really patient....or maybe his will has just been crushed and he's given up? I am the opposite of a lot of pregnant women. Pregnancy with me is like a switch that locks my vagina for 9 months.

@jackiesmom324@ameliabedelia-2@NME44 My pgal brain had me abstaining throughout first tri. It wasn't hard since I'm too tired most of the time. I've given in a few times during second tri, but only when I wake up after having crazy pregnancy sex dreams... DH's sex life depends on my subconscious.
@jackiesmom324 I feel like we're totally on the same page with IF and PGAL brain. I'm sure I could "break" the rules and it probably change nothing. But if I did have another loss I know I would go looking for a broken rule to blame myself. Better to keep my hands clean haha. (I feel like I have to clarify - this is 100% in my head and about my anxiety and personal mental health issues, and in no way means judgment about anyone else!). I've also abstained since, well, conception lol. Maybe I'll get brave by the end of 2nd tri when my heart allows me to believe that things might actually turn out okay.

@AMCsquared, the combination of pregnancy migraines, painful boobs the size of watermelons, and my inability to poop more than once a week has left me feeling less than sexual.

@AMCsquared I'm still having the dreams, get turned on for my H, all that. And even though I know spotting after sex can be normal when you're pregnant because of all the extra blood flow down there, that would really freak me out.
Also I go comatose every night around 9:30 before H even realizes we're not having a two-sided conversation anymore

@AMCsquared I didn't mention sex above, and we've done it a few times, but I really have zero sex drive lately and I'm always so damn tired by them time we're in bed, so we definitely don't do it very often.
@AMCsquared, no, it does not. Neither does running or swimming. But those are things I did during the first trimester of my pregnancy I lost and they aren't things I've done since. Like I said, there is no logic to it.
also the part mentioned above where sex can cause bleeding. Seeing blood makes your heart drop to the floor.
@whiska@NME44 omg I'm so glad I have you ladies to understand! More power to you @AMCsquared , I wish I didn't have this mental block but I guess I've accepted it
I've been through periods of abstaining out of PGAL anxiety and fear with DD2 and again with DD3.... but this pregnancy has been drastically different from my past pregnancies.. my sex drive is through the roof. I just need me some hot D all. the. time. I feel like Tammy Swanson from Parks & Rec.
Ugh. Sex is overrated.... If he can't finish in 5 minutes or less, he gets to finish himself. Lol. I'm exhausted by the time I get my butt in bed. DD has recently started walking, so I'm chasing her and we are constantly on the go. Plus my boobs hurt so bad that even sleeping on my side is painful.
We decided to wait until I was off of the progesterone suppositories, but I was still feeling pretty yucky so we waited a little longer LOL. It was worth the wait
