I drank and ate sushi

[pineapple03]

Hi guys

been TTC and today I am DPO 9. I had a rough time today for a bit and kinda felt hopeless and depressed.

i had sushi at lunch and when my colleagues asked me if I wanted to join them for a pint this evening I said yes. I was so fed up with the stress of the TWW and thought “most women dont even know theyre pregnant until at least 2-3 weeks and they live their life normally until they find out.
I caved and decided to live normally, until I know for sure I am pregnant.

now I am on the tube back home and Im starting to regret :(((

i only had 1 pint of corona. But next Thursday we have a big party planned with the whole team. I should know by then

You’ll be fine

I spent the first weeks of my (then unknown) pregnancy on holiday in a high risk Zika country, drinking cocktails, eating sushi and other raw food, in a developing nation.

Pregnancy continued absolutely fine.

Also, most women in Japan continue to eat sushi throughout pregnancy.

If you put your whole life on hold whilst waiting to conceive, you will be miserable. Don't get wrapped up in guilt.

Mate I did mucccchhhhh worse.

You will be completely fine 🙂

You'll be fine, sushi in the UK is frozen first
to make it safer so unless you went somewhere really dodgy it's highly unlikely to make you ill. A pint is also fine if you're too early to even know you're pregnant

Is this a joke

.

Thank you all for your replies! You definitely put my mind at ease 🙏🏻

Unclench OP. You aren’t even pregnant yet. Relax.

Well no why would it be

I know 😂😩 it’s just that I see so many women on forums doing everything so perfectly “just in case” they are pregnant 🤣 that it made me feel bad stupidly

Noo you’ve got to emjoy yourself still what’s the point of not doing all the things you can’t do pregnant before you’re pregnant just enjoy life till the time comes

If you are, the embryo won't be implanted so the alcohol won't be an issue.

I won't tell you how my Japanese friend speaks about the advice about sushi. 'Racist' is the nicest thing she says

I'd been ttc unsuccessfully for over a year, living each month as if I might be pregnant. The first time I just thought 'sod it' and went out to a party, drank loads, ate what I fancied etc, I got my bfp a few days later... There's something to be said for just relaxing I think!
