What pregnancy laws have YOU broken?

I know some of us walk around for 9 months with bubble wrap around our bellies while others find their own limits....
My current violations :
I eat Cesar salad. In fact, I am eating one RIGHT now. Delicious.
I take semi-hot baths. If I don't I shiver my booty off in the tub.
I wear stilettos although they're not great for circulation.
I take my prenatals....at horribly sporadic times.
I'm on a OB-formulated "quit smoking" plan. I couldn't do it cold turkey
So:
What kind of violations are you guilty of!?

Re: What pregnancy laws have YOU broken?
I take really hot baths, haven't taken my prenatals since the very beginning because I've been so sick, have the occasional Coke and coffee, I've eaten fish, feta cheese, and deli meat.
I did everything by the book with DD, but I've been majorly slacking this time around. I actually feel kinda bad about it.
I've been eating a lot of chocolate/candy lately.
My violations are:
Kitties everywhere and yes the sleep with me,
An occasional swig of dh's wine/beer.
Brie cheese at a a cocktail party.
An Ambien before bed evry night,
I LOVE my Dr. Pepper...
I take my prenatals at sporadic times as well...
I have a horrible time eating protein (meat)
and I only brush my teeth once a day because I always throw up, the taste of the toothpaste has nothing to do with it, and I use an electric toothbrush... but I still throw up...
oh yeah, I also eat sweets... not a lot, but at least every day. lol
Are you not supposed to have kitties sleeping with you!?
Add that to my list.
Deli meat on hoagies...
Daily Diet Coke, with the occasional coffee (I barely drink the whole thing)
Caesar salad with a handful of meals
Hot dogs, pepperoni and bacon, but I AM trying to watch it!
I just got Iron supplements today but I am trying to put them off as long as possible because I like my normal digestive system.
My violations are:
I eat whatever I want including cold lunch meats and salads.
I still drink pop/soda (I do however drink less than before)
I don't excise like I should (but I have lost weight not sure how I did that)
I dont take my Tums for calcium daily. ( I don't like the taste of them)
I drink Coke also
Always forget to take my prenatals
probably drink more soda than I am supposed to in a day
Occasionally have sips...or half glasses of wine/beer at parties and weddings
Lift heavier things than I am supposed to and then lie to DH about it (hee hee)
I ate cold turkey sandwiches for a while. They don't sound appealing anymore.
I have a new addiction to Pepsi. which is weird because I didn't use to like dark soda, I only ones I liked happened to be non-caffeine anyways.
I take decently hot showers. They're too hot for my SO but he's a pansy.
Recently, I've been terrible about taking my pre-natals too. A friend of mines OB told her that they are pointless so I don't entirely feel guilty.
I've randomly seen some people talking about not painting their nails? I have no idea what thats about but I still paint my toenails.
Soft boiled eggs
Occasional half glass of wine
Rarely take my vitamins
Now that I don't need snacks to stave off nausea, I'm pretty sure I'm not eating enough, but I'm not losing weight!
Hot shower/bath...I get so cold otherwise!
Married DH 7/30/11
CSC arrived 5/7/12
CHC arrived 6/2/14
Sushi
Cold lunch meats several times a week
Coffee and coca cola
lots of junk food
licking the batter off the spoon when baking said junk food
kitties everywhere
insomnia meds every night before bed
Ha! This post rocks.
* I eat sweets, feta, and brie
* I don't exercise more than once a week, if I manage that much
* I drink pop occasionally
* I take sips of DH's cocktails
* Still wearing my wedge heels
* Still cuddling the kitties and cleaning up their litter-related messes
* I eat less fish than my doctor recommends. :P
♥ Married since June 2009 ♥
TW: Living children & Losses:
Pregnant after 4 losses via IVF/FET with daughter "Gamma" (EDD Oct 2, 2019)
I've had a disgusting amount of candy this Halloween season.
Half glasses of wine on occasion, totalling two this pregnancy.
I have a lot of animals. I've been gut-punched by the dogs a couple times
I'm horrible at paying attention to the wide array of nutrients I'm supposed to have per day. Someone got me Eating Well When You're Expecting or something like that and I took one look at their GIANT list of like 12 things to include daily and I put the book away lol. I assume the vitamin picks up a lot of slack.
Sitting on my @ss way too much.
I love my Pepsi
Kitties everywhere
Not eating enough of the "right" things and I'm sure too much of the not so good things
Not getting enough exercise
This post is awesome.
Me:
Deli meat
Sweets
Lack of veggies
Soda
I
this thread and eveyone on it! I guess it depends on who is making the "laws". According to my OB it's ok to occasionally..
Eat Sushi
Drink Wine
Have Caffeine
Dye my hair
So I'm enjoying those things! Now ask my cousin with 2 children and you might find out I'm breaking an awful lot...
Is rough secks against the pregnasty laws?
Absolutely not! I'm hoping to use it to speed things along at about week 39...
Bahaha! Good to know
I drink coffee every morning
Drink diet soda when I want one
I use artificial sweetener
I dyed my hair at 8 weeksu
Eat soft cheeses...that are pasteurized. Ate port wine cheese spread tonight that didn't say if it was pasteurized or not but I'm assuming it is. Gah.
I'm eating way too much red meat
My mom says there are just way to many pregnancy rules these days
I drink an extra large coffee every morning.
I eat all the no no foods (Lunch meat, sushi etc)
I have cats
I have a smoke on occasion because some days its hard not to and I figure one once in awhile is better than the pack a day I was smoking.
I drink diet coke
I figure that my grandmother had 7 healthy babies, and she lived on a farm, and worked the fields and did the chores during her pregnancies, so why the heck would I be worried about eating a piece of ham or drinking my extra large coffee every morning.
- ambien now and then
- kitty cleaning/sleeping/snuggles
- sitting and laying in positions that can't possibly be good for a fetus!
- ignoring my drs heart rate recs while exercising - because I don't believe him!
Why in the world no Caesar salad?!
lots of caffeine (at least one tea/medium coffee/or grande latte a day)
I...Love....Coffee....
Thank you for this!!!
Very warm baths and showers
Just sipped some wine today (and have in the past)
Waaaay too much Halloween candy on Monday night
Espresso every morning
Dye my hair religiously
Face cream that doesn't specifically say not to use
And can't get enough of my cuddly cat!
This is a great post.
-Was accidently taking half a dose of prenatals.
-Have occasionaly eaten deli meats.
-Pepperoni, cheese, and crackers have been my craving this week (didn't know I wasn't supposed to eat pepperoni until I read this post).
-Caesar salads (another one I didn't know I wasn't supposed to have).
-Eating ways to many sweets!
-Hardly working out.
1. I take a hot bath every night.
2. I eat tuna regularly.
3. I will drink coffee/chai at least 3 times a week.
4. I have never taken prenatals- they make me insanely ill.
and I'm sure that there are more but this is my 4th pregnancy and 3rd kid. I have learned not to be a nutcase and that my kid is not going to come out w/ a 3rd arm or half a brain bc of some of the ridiculous rules.
Love this! My violations:
Decaf coffee 3 times a week
A handful of plain M&M's every day
Deep fried, salty Mexican food like 3times a week--gotta have salty chips and salsa
Currently enjoying breakfast sausage every day
Not eating enough vegetables--the thought of eating a salad still makes me want to retch.
- 1 coffee every day
- splenda pretty much every day (max 3)
- eat a little bit of sweets every day
- carbing out, totally cant help it. prob not getting enough protein
- some days I dot have enough water
- take occasional sips of DH beer/wine
- didnt know it was bad, but paint nails/toe nails
-
I think it's because of the (usually pasteurized) raw eggs in the dressing. I have no idea why people think it's taboo.
I eat sweets constantly.
I take hot showers almost every day - but I'm not letting myself take the ones where I turn really red.
I hardly get off my couch - like all day. So what workout?
I love salt in a sick, sick way.
If caffeine didn't make my boobs hurt, I would have it every day... oh wait. I do, just in the form of chocolate.
ETA - and I eat raw cookie dough, every time.
I occassionlly have caffeine.
Salads with feta cheese.
I haven't taken a prenatal in weeks.
