What changes in your day-to-day?

carabassa27 · December 2014

Hi! Since we're all newly pregnant, I'm just wondering what you'll be doing differently. For example, I know many jobs have certain limitations once you're pregnant, or you might be cutting back on/increasing certain foods or beverages. Feel free to share!

For me, I might be switching the mediums (chemicals) I use while painting. Also, we have a fitbit 'aria' scale that says you shouldn't use if you're pregnant, so I won't be weighing myself until we get a cheap normal one. Cutting out alcohol, and trying to increase my water intake.

Cutting out wine, going to bed earlier, and just so focused on the embryo that is making me a nauseous emotional wreck. lol

I'm still picking up my 55&60 lb kids.

mrsb30 · December 2014

I went from 3-4 cups a coffee a day to 1. I have also added in more complex carbs since I was eating low carb before I got pregnant.

wells2010 · December 2014

testing my blood sugar 13 million times per day. (I have type 1 diabetes)

Wanting food, making it, and then not feeling like eating it.

Napping with DD.

Drinking more water and less caffeine.

@meg2j Wait, no more cocaine and liquor binges for 9 months??? What did I get myself into...

llw42614 · December 2014

I quit drinking Monsters a few months ago in preparation and now just have 1 cup of coffee in the AM. Also, as of my BFP this morning, I am a non-smoker now!
I was already consciously eating better so I will just try to stay on track.

DaisyZH · December 2014

Mainly I need to drink more water. Light exercise would be nice too.

phoaddict · December 2014

Really, not much- I don't need caffeine, so I usually drink decaf coffee anyway (I like it for the flavor and the morning ritual more than the pick-me-up). My dog snuggles with me more; I think she knows that I'm pregnant. She started getting very cuddly a week before my BFP. I'm just trying to go to Wegman's (our big grocery store) while I still can- once my morning sickness hit last time, all of the sights, smells and thoughts of food in grocery stores made me miserable.

Less caffeine, more water, no excuses when it comes to reasonable exercise, no booze.

One of the hardest things for me will be less intense hiking next year. I've been hiking/fundraising for an all-women's charity hike that supports a local DV/homeless shelter--and the annual 3-day event is in mid-July. I spent the weekend before my wedding in the backcountry with them, but I'm pretty sure the bump will keep me far below treeline next year! No carrying a 50lb pack up 3k feet until 2016. But it'll be a worthy trade-off.

I have cut back my green tea intake and have eliminated my evening glass of wine. Aside from these things, I am making a concious effort to ensure I am getting adequate sleep and nourishment.

whenweawake · December 2014

Drinking so much water and peeing so much.

No more wine. Waaaaaahhhhhh. Cutting back on caffeine. That's about it.

goldenB · December 2014

No more ST. I'm spotting and I don't want to risk anything

carabassa27 · December 2014

Oh I forgot that one! No more changing the kitty litter. And don't tell me they've decided that's okay now. I like that it's H's job for awhile.

@goldenB What's ST?

ShellyR · December 2014

Less coffee and more sleep. I'm actually eating a little more junk now than before. I eat a pretty clean diet at baseline but right now my appetite is crappy so I eat what sounds/smells good.

goldenB · December 2014

@carrabassa27 ST = sexy time

lindy27 · December 2014

No alcohol. I am trying to sleep more but it hasn't worked yet. I eat what sounds good even if it's not the healthiest because a lot of stuff sounds bad.

carabassa27 · December 2014

@goldenB Ah, got it. I don't think MH wants to have sex for awhile. He said something the other day about his sperm "attacking" the already fertilized egg and confusing everything.

Not sure where he gets these ideas.

Haha my dh thought that I couldn't change the cat litter while I was breastfeeding either. Not sure why but I made sure to never correct him and I only quit BF a month and a half ago. So I think it has now become his permanent job

I'm trying to put off telling work I'm pregnant for as long as possible since my last pregnancy ended in m/c and I got pregnant right away again. My coworkers tend to get pissy when someone gets pregnant because more responsibility falls on everyone else. I won't be allowed to do x-rays or surgery so I'm praying neither of those is scheduled on my days I work for a couple of weeks. I doubt that will happen though....

I convinced DH a long time ago that women of child baring age shouldn't be anywhere near kitty litter. You know, just in case

MarathonHiker · December 2014

No more vodka every weekend.

I tend to eat pretty healthy already. I've lowered coffee from 3 cups to 2.

Otherwise, I won't change much.

MissesFroom · December 2014

No more alcohol. Less caffeine (maybe 1 cup a day if I need it). No bathes for now (I like them too hot). More veggies and water! I want to start exercising again. It's been a year!

travelingqueen · December 2014

^ yes to the vodka, I love vodka. No more vodka, sigh.

Also lowered caffeine/coffee intake.

I still plan to do other taboo things.. deli meat, sushi every so often, etc. I'm a rebel.

No more wine

More water.

Amberry10 · December 2014

No more Vodka or wine so, I guess, I'll switch to water.

No coffee and no alcohol. I already drink quite a bit of water at work but I've ramped that up to. Health snakes at work too. My co-worker is always bringing in unhealthy snacks to share so to try and keep myself away today I brought in a mix of heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, and sugar snap peas.

Ahhhh!

Do they bite you if you eat unhealthy? I might need one, I had a piece of pumpkin pie for breakfast. On second thought, I would rather enjoy all the pumpkin pie.
