Pregnant after IF

You know what I love about being pregnant?

It's 3:48pm and I'm eating a big slice of chocolate cake. I would never have allowed myself this indulgence before. So just as a reminder, ladies: take that nap, wear those stretchy pants, get that pedicure. Let's live it up! :)

  • hahaha, so funny you just posted this! I just ate a pack of peanut butter crackers...normally I only eat half a pack with a banana. Well, I wanted the whole pack and thought "oh well, I'm pregnant." So, when I just read your post I thought to myself, "not feeling guilty about just crushing those crackers" and then you happened to post about food!  Funny coincidence. Enjoyyyy while you can, right?!

  • I agree E!!! Every night I have been having some ice cream...never, and I mean NEVER would I have allowed myself ice cream every day!!! Now, I figure, hey, I have 10 more weeks I might as well live it up!! And...just got back from a pedi...so it's all good :)

  • Amen!!!    Love it.    I'm going to the movies tonight, and won't think twice about a little popcorn and candy.... Mmm...

    (oh, and btw...  it only gets better when you breastfeed.   when I was nursing, I could eat ice cream and pizza all day and still lose weight...   glorious!)

  • I'm so jealous! With this GD, it is tough. I have to eat on a specific schedule. I eat my breakfast, then I can't have anything else for 2 hours until I can test my blood. Then I can have a snack, but I don't want my snacks to be too close to my next meal or it will mess with my numbers. I do get to splurge a bit after I test 2 hours after dinner - if it is still early enough, I can have something a bit more sugary, and it won't impact my fasting number in the morning. I sooooo look forward to that time of evening!

    I've already told DH that after having the baby, and when I don't have to test my sugars anymore (6 weeks after giving birth), I have a laundry list of sweets I NEED.

    Lurker here! I don't want to rain on the parade, but since two people brought this up I thought I should point out that this is not true for everyone! Soooo not true for me.

    But I totally agree with the "enjoy it while you're pregnant" (without going totally crazy) philosophy.
