Just give me sushi, wrapped in lunch meat, dipped in whiskey and Caesar dressing and I'll be happy

This exactly! Just add a margarita. All of the spicy tuna rolls/tuna tartare I can handle!

b4ebeth · January 2015

Why oh why did I read all of those? They all sound good. I will take one of each of everything listed above and probably below.

mcp6286 · January 2015

A big cold glass of Moscato in the hot tub....followed by 3 or 4 more glasses while steaming myself into oblivion. If DH has to carry me inside afterwards, so be it!

Lexibizzel · January 2015

Espresso martini for me! Wait, that glass of champagne or prosecco I want smuggled into the recovery room would technically be the first indulgence post pregnancy.

Massage sounds heavenly as well.

#1 Sushi
#2 Being able to lay on my stomach/roll over without RLP
#3 Regular jeans (not maternity)
#4 I'm not really a drinker but I love me some plum wine with my sushi!

taisree · January 2015

Vino.... I miss my big pretty wine glasses and can't wait to use them again. I'm gonna splurge on a nice bottle of something. But really don't care if it's red or white!

Now I'll probably be dreaming of wine tonight....

MJMum524 · January 2015

A nice, ice cold beer...or 6!

carolyngrace · January 2015

I'm such a "cheater" I already do most of the things that were mentioned!

Mixed drinks (Gin & Tonic! Mojitos! Margaritas!) and laying on my stomach are really the only things I'm missing right now!

Im still sleeping on my stomach half the night... No go ?

I worried about that with my last pregnancy. I would be sleeping on my side and wake up on my stomach. I asked my mat Dr. About it, he wasn't concerned and basically said not to worry & that soon enough it would be impossible to sleep on my stomach.

Also! I found that my snoogle helped to keep me sleeping the way I should.

IsadoraB · January 2015

A gin & tonic.

lmfs90 · January 2015

Vodka. Also going into the sauna and hot tub after working out. Also a weird one cleaning the literbox.... BF only does it once a week and we have two cats

aliciaspinnet · January 2015

I feel like I've broken so many of the rules compared to you guys! I've had sushi a few times (super reputable places only), pate and soft cheese once or twice (pasteurised only), a few sips of wine and I've had a couple of coffees (though I've mainly switched to tea). So I don't feel like I've missed out too much since getting pregnant.

But I definitely second the lying on my stomach thing. I don't even sleep on my stomach usually, but I keep wanting to lately and I can't!

tinavonsparkle · January 2015

A massive slab of pâté, a tray of raw oysters and a bottle of champagne in a hot tub - ahhhhhhhhhh!

stinybean · January 2015

All the sushi! My ob says no to even cali rolls because they're made next to the other rolls

I also cannot wait for homemade fresh mozzarella! And of course any kind of wine-I get my kicks now by smelling everyone else's. I'm so weird!

I thought I was the only weirdo!! "Can I... Can I just sniff your wine??"

jessila9 · January 2015

Coffee. I love coffee. Apparently my LO doesn't and I now find it repulsive. I want to want it so bad because I know I love it...then I try it and it's so disgusting.
Also piles of sushi, sleeping on my stomach, bloody marys, and raw oysters.

I'm pretty sure as long as YOU'RE comfortable, you're fine. It stopped being comfortable for me around 18 weeks.

housewifebecomesher · January 2015

Lots of rule followers here! That's a good thing

I will be having ALL OF THE WINE!

I got my BFP the day we got home from a wine trip from which we brought back an embarrassing amount of wine. DH is nice enough to wait to open those bottles with me.

Hah! I do this too!

I'm with @aliciaspinnet‌ in having cheated here and there... Everything I've read says pasteurized soft cheese is fine, so I keep having brie now and then. Panic Free Pregnancy says sushi is okay, so I've had that too! Just no high mercury fish. I have half a cup of coffee some mornings, and take sips of hubby's wine a couple times a week. I've kept up with hair color too; my colorist just switched to a semi permanent.

BUT, I will still look forward to drinking (champagne, wine, beer, G&Ts, dark and stormy, margaritas)... I want MORE than a sip! It just tastes good. I'd love a mai tai.

Oysters! Sushi, and not googling fish all the time to check mercury.

Also, sleeping on my back.

erbear84 · January 2015

Wine! I told my best friend to smuggle some into the hospital.

. Also a nice cold turkey sub.

Hair color! I forgot that one, I really miss that. Semi permanents don't work in my PITA hair so a trip to the salon will def be a first stop!

WifeDeAngel · January 2015

A long, hot bath, and a massage. I know I can have those now, but after birth and a couple months of new motherhood really makes them worthwhile.

blastocarrier30 · January 2015

A whole pot of coffee, followed by a bottle of wine or multiple bourbon drinks.

I really just want to drink as much coffee as I want. Is that so much?

staciecoffey · January 2015

God I would kill for some coffee and a hamburger. I thought my coffee aversion was bad enough, LO has added a meat aversion to the mix as well!!

As far as hair color...well my MW said to wait until second tri before coloring. Plus i remember coloring pregnant women's hair from the day they found out up until the went on leave.

And don't forget the beer!

mommacandi · January 2015

Give me all the red wine and summer beers. That's it, that's all I want!

MrsCaliRN · January 2015

Okay, I've been eating Togo's turkey subs (with avocado or salami sometimes, mmmm), Subway Italian BMTs and even tried a super-yummy Italian sub in SoCal at a place called Jersey Mike's. I literally have a sub/deli sandwich once a week, sometimes more. I also eat sushi (usually salmon or CA roll) and have had salmon (cooked) a coupe times as well. I guess I never got those memos about food no nos... Anyways, after LO is here, I will 100% be having my fave Moscow Mule and a Calimocho (Spanish drink with cab and coke, soooo good, I promise you). Plus, just having the option of laying on my stomach is tittilating, but I 100% doubt I'll want to do it right away with milk-filled breasts and heavy vaginal bleeding.

I got my bfp the day after a wine tour too. I can't wait to pop those bottles I brought back, it's torture, but I'm glad I got to go!

I eat turkey sandwiches a couple of times a week and occasionally indulge in sushi (not even the cooked stuff), but I try to stay away from Tuna and other high mercury fish. I am pretty sure cooked salmon isn't a no-no. In fact, it's encouraged. My doctor gave me a specific list of stuff not to eat and it didn't include turkey or salmon. He did say no ceviche or sushi, but I choose to eat sushi my own discretion. Not ready to take a chance on the ceviche yet, even though I miss it so much!

OokamiNoHime · January 2015

Sushi and Plum Wine. Yesss

kimmarie1105 · January 2015

ajgerber · January 2015

Any variety of alcohol. I'm not a huge drinker but I have been craving all sorts.

OfficiallyHollyC · January 2015

The most caffeinated version of Starbucks they have on the menu, a big glass of red wine, a long hot bath with the door LOCKED, and a nice bowl of tiramisu.

robynjeannette · January 2015

Brie and crackers with a glass of wine! And a buttload of coffee. Oh and sleeping on my back again.

betsyplunkett12 · January 2015

Kinky and sprite! Flavored delicious coffee!!

aliciac2008 · January 2015

A taaaaall glass of Ninkasi IPA... Or maybe 3. I'm really looking forward to sitting in the back yard around the fire pit with a beer in hand. I have no idea if I'll be too exhausted with a newborn, but I'm hoping I can at least enjoy that. Any second time moms know if I'm likely to be too tired to want to do anything other than sleep this summer?

KimberlyandThor2014 · January 2015

Oh I am soooooo having some wine, chocolate everything, and a ton of pizza! With bagels. and more chocolate. Yup. With a coffee coolada!

Just to be clear--I can't eat bagels only because of GD...didn't want to cause confusion lol
