Doing with out vices?

What have you guys given up but miss?

 I really miss Merlot and Chardonnay!!!  My doctor says it's totally okay to have a glass of wine now and again, but I'm not willing to take any risk...  guess I'm a preg prude...  I do get sh*t for being so cautious, but I don't care.

    When I was pregnant I missed soft cheese soooo much. I think not being able to have it made me disproportionately want it even more.

    I do miss goat cheese. Coffee (only because it's winter and Starbucks has their gingerbread lattes) and soda. I know the coffee and soda are ok in very small amounts but I also agree with erring on the side of caution. If this kid is anything like DH or myself, he or she will not need any extra caffeine or sugar.

    I'm of the "everything in moderation" mindset.  I eat (pasteurized) soft cheeses several times a week.  I've had sips of DH's beer, wine, etc periodically.  I drink one cup of coffee almost daily.  I did this throughout my first pregnancy and DS is just fine.  I don't think it's worth the stress & hype to avoid every little thing, personally.  Being pregnant doesn't mean I'm dead and need to go without everything I enjoy.

    Ditto! Except I don't like soft cheeses, but I was under the impression it was only UNpasteurized cheese.  I drank my Morning Mocha, but limited it in the first  tri.  then got half caf.  I missed most was wearing regular clothing, I hated Maternity.  And not getting tan since I was pregnant over the summer.

    I miss wine too. But as far as soft cheeses go, I thought they were okay as long as they're made with pasteurized milk. I've been chowing down on the goat cheese lately!

    I don't really miss the caffeine at all.?

    My OB  said any cheese was fine as long as it's pasteurized. I have never been a big drinker so alcohol is not too hard for me, but I really miss diet Cherry Coke. I do have it occasionally (following with that moderation theme :) but I have definitely cut back. I still get chai at Starbucks but a smaller size. I do miss Venti!

    I drank nonalcoholic beer while pg w/ Liam just because it was hot in July and we bbq all the time and DH would have friends over. It scratched the itch.?
