What to do during the 2 week wait

Maebb · April 2014

I should intro on TTGP and post this there, but I'm more comfortable posting here, so -

Did you do anything different during the 2WW? With DS we were staying at an all-inclusive resort, so I definitely drank caffeine, alcohol, ate sushi, exercised, flew on an airplane, etc.

These suggestions are kind of weird. I don't know if they're meant to be funny or what. Pee on Q-tips for practice?

DH and I are not really trying hard TTC this month, but there's a chance I could be KU, and I don't want to do anything risky if I am. I'm sure there's a broad range of opinions on this one, but WDYT?

I say live your life normally. I would have spent half of two+ years avoiding caffeine and alcohol for no reason, and that sounds stupid.

Read a book....

@AuburnGirlSC‌, what would you consider "risky"? Would you make your eating and drinking choices as if you were already pregnant?

I know, "drink until it's pink," right?

I only drink like 1-2 drinks on some nights totaling maybe 4 drinks per week, so I'm not too worried about it.

I didn't do anything different until I got an actual positive test. If I were trying to conceive I might engage in less risky/more healthy behaviors in general (eating healthy, not getting wasted every night, not smoking, etc), but I would not abstain from everything just because I might be pregnant.

Some of those suggestions in the article made me laugh out loud. Some made me roll my eyes. Just live life.

Since I don't drink, and the most caffeine I ever had was green tea, I just did what I would do during a pregnancy - I did that the whole time we were trying. But it wasn't much of a change for me. (And I did eat sushi through my pregnancy, so I didn't change that either.

)

When I was TTC the first time around I didn't drink alcohol or caffeine. I think it made me feel more like I was "doing something" since you have such little control over when you'll conceive. Second time I around i didn't change my behavior at all.

I didn't do anything different. Still ate what I wanted, smoke, drank a little. That all stopped when I got my BFP though. DD is totally healthy

I took prenatals. I drank a lot the Saturday before my positive test because I didn't think I would get pregnant right away. I got my positive on Thursday. My doctor laughed when I told her about my Saturday before and said the baby would be fine.

I'm all for drink till it's pink. I don't think I'd go out and get shitfaced, but a beer or two? Eh. Who cares. This early on you aren't sharing anything with a potential baby anyway.

I didn't change anything during the tww. It took two years to get KU so I am glad I didn'tchange during every tww.
