Pregnancy/Mommy Confessions. Fess up everyone!!

mrsolsenk12 · November 2009

We have all done things that while not dangerous, makes you feel a little guilty. Come on, you all know that you have done it. So lets share those confessions. As long as it is nothing illegal or nothing that has hurt anyone lets share! Also this is a flame free post so we can all feel free to share openly.

I will start! When I was pregnant, I was a gestational diabetic so I was on the stricter diet. My guilty pregnancy pleasure was ice cream. Even though I really wasn't supposed to have it, I had it about 3-4 nights a week after I had tested for the night. As a mommy, the first thing that comes to mind is that we took Hayden to Six Flags when he was about 10 weeks old. In all the fun we were having, I kind of forgot to change his diaper during the day. So at the end of the day he had a very wet and very full diaper.

I am not above letting my DD watch a little dora while I get a minute to relax.

I did drink the occasional glass of wine...heck my dr told me to when I was stuck in prodromal labor. He said it may help stop the contractions.

I enjoyed some wine every now and then (like once a week) after I reached 30 weeks. MIL thought I was a horrible person, but whatever. I would only drink about half a glass, but let me tell you, I totally enjoyed it!!!

I dropped him in the swing this morning even though I know he gets bored, so I could exercise. He started crying after about 15 mins and I moved him to the couch and propped him up so I could finish. So much for being a part of the AP board! Wink

Seriously, I felt SO bad when he cried that I started crying too. No idea how I'm ever going to exercise on a regular basis.

I have a can of coke or Dr. Pepper a few times a week (I know, not really that terrible). I also have a weakness for sandwiches when I'm pregnant for some reason -- and I don't always heat the meat, especially if it is from a reputable place.

As for mommy confession, sometimes I pretend to be asleep if Ava wakes up at night so that DH will get up with her instead (hey -- I'm growing two babies -- I need my sleep!). I also have to admit that I have put on Elmo's world just to give myself a break before!

When she was really little, if DD fell asleep in the boppy I let her stay asleep there. Even though it clearly says "NO SLEEPING" on the tag. I was always right there, but it made me feel kind of guilty.

I've done this (specifically, day we closed on our house a couple weeks ago, I don't think he was changed from about 7 am to 2 pm). I felt AWFUL!

I, too, was a gestational diabetic. I was very diet controlled (never had a high reading), but after I tested well with pancakes and the doctor took me off testing 4 times a day, I started adding syrup on my pancakes. I don't use a lot, but I'm sure it spiked my blood sugar. That was my daily breakfast.

I sometimes pretend that I haven't noticed that DD is wet and then have to get up for something (i.e. handing her off to DH) so he'll have to change her diaper. I never ever do it when I'm the only one home with him, but I figure it can't hurt while he's here, right?

I'm sure there's more - I'm not a perfect mom. But I can't think of any right now.

This last week I have been really relaxed about my GD. I have been testing but not exactly when I am suppose to test.

I have cooked dinner 2 times in about 5 months. Embarrassed

mybobble · November 2009

I've eaten a few things I know I shouldn't have. I came clean to my ob because I felt quilty and her comment "who hasn't eaten a few things they shouldn't while pg".

GuitaristsGirl · November 2009

I eat cold deli meat, soft cheeses, cooked sushi, drink a cup of caffiene daily, and use Splenda. And don?t even think twice!

(I once tried to tell someone who commented about my cheese-eating about the pasturized vs. unpasturized thing, but now I just say, "You know, I really have a lot bigger things to worry about!")

AND! Friday night I ate an ice cube out of DH's margarita

tapgirl · November 2009

I have a diet soda once or twice a week. I routinely steal a drink from my DH's beer when we are out. Now that I am well into my 2nd tri, I've had a wine spritzer of my own the last couple of weekends. I've had a few deli sandwiches as well.

I eat a ridiculous amount of junk food...I love fast food and sweets and rarely ever do I attempt NOT to eat junk food when I'm craving it...

Tonight we are having a home cooked meal...and I would so much rather have a Big Mac...

I've gained 18.5 lbs so far, so I guess the junk food agrees with me, lol.

I turn the sound off on the monitor if I hear DS stirring in the morning. I leave the video on and I can see him moving around on it. I want to sleep in the morning, so I don't jump right up and get him. I let him play (or babble) for a little while so I can get a little more sleep. Plus if he cries I can hear just fine w/o the sound on the monitor. Oh and in the morning after his 1st bottle/diaper change, I'll sit him on the floor with some toys and I'll bring my laptop in his room and check email. facebook and SAIF board.
