Forgive me foetus for I have sinned...

[Angel786]

Ok, this is a light hearted thread! I'll start....

Today I had half a glass of Pinot noir (which I was hoping to wait till 12 weeks to do!) and a maki roll...

Anyone else?

Forgive me, when I was pg with dd, I had a port and lemonade before bed EVERY night! It helped me sleep! Praise God, she is fine! apart from the squint and the hunchback!

saggy when my mother was pregnant with me her doctor recommended that she have a port in the mornings to help with the sickness. That was 1983, I was fine :)

I had a lovely brie and bacon sandwich
Lots of caffeine
Warm goats cheese
Selection of uncooked German meats

Forgive me... because I keep forgetting what I'm not supposed to be doing.

And keep wondering if a lower birth weight is really such a bad thing (10lb, forceps delivered previous birth) and therefore whether caffeine is actually GOOD for me (bad mummy). DS is a danger magnet and baby must surely be used to adrenalin kicks by now anyway.

As above - all of it. And peperoni pizza. Forgive me ...

Drum roll...

I still smoke.

I ate jam sarnies and choc spread sarnies and ice cream at the begining. In fairness it was all I could eat due to morning sickness. It was my GP who recommended the ice cream. Meant to be very good for MS

I ate medium cooked steak with mayo.

I ate some duck liver pâté

I drank some red wine

I slept on my back for as long as I could.

I didn't eat enough fruit and veg.

I kept forgetting to take my folic acid and multivitamins, oh and my iron tablets too .

DD is fine, she's now 20 weeks. As long as its in moderation it's not going to hurt anyone

I'm having a glass of G&T tonight now... You lot are making me feel like the class swot.

where do i start

glass of wine once a week
sushi
shashimi
stilton
i ride my horse
medium steak

do you think they can get child line in there

Not enough veg...ever! Not enough exercise, but getting better at that.
Too much junk food, I ate chocolate mousse one day and at Xmas I had baileys hot chocolate and a glass of wine on the same day!

vixsatis, yes rare/raw meat can and does infect some pregnant women with toxoplasmosis. Its a documented fact , and it can be transmitted to fetus. It is very rare for it to happen but some people have been unlucky enough.
Alcohol in moderation is far less dangerous, in fact there is no evidence that i am aware of that shows that alcohol in moderation is bad for baby.

stilton is ok. shop bought mayo has been pasteurised so also ok.

Forgive me Harry (DS1) I have sinned:

I have eaten way to much chocolate
Too few vegetables

xx

two glasses of wine a week (and more over Christmas)
Raw eggs (in cake mixture and chocolate mousse)
Softly-boiled eggs
Far too much caffeine
I sleep on my right and sometimes on my back (although i really want to sleep on my tummy)
And have also eaten far too little that is good for me

Ok kiddo, sorry but I sleep on my back and that deep persistent drumming you hear is the cat you'll be meeting in 4 months time who really appreciates it when you get shitty and kick him - makes him purr lots. He seems to like his belly being massaged by your feet. That's just how we roll.

I eat cured meat like salami (off the deli counter in Tesco - gasp, shock, horror)...

I defrosted some cooked prawns under the tap for 10 minutes last week and stuck them straight on top of a big fat salad that I then drenched in Marie Rose sauce (not the low fat one either)...

I may have drunk Dad's homebrew ginger beer at Christmas that made my legs feel a weeny bit floaty. Sorry, that actually genuinely wasn't my falult although I suspect I should have known better...

I defrosted bread, re-froze it then took it out and toasted it yesterday...

I ate an unidentified canape at Christmas without checking what it was. Not sure that counts because I still don't know what it was...

And I get allow myself to get so eggy it's actual RAGE without calming down with some nice zen like breathing techniques or whatever.

But hey, welcome to the real world, babes. I reckon you're lucky that's all you gotta worry about!

I am 29 weeks pregnant and have drank 2 halfs of cider, 3 alcopops and a glass of wine so far this pregnancy.

Also been drinking coke/dr pepper etc regularly and lie on my back a lot but I dont really know why you cant lie on your back and it doesnt hurt so surely not a problem?

I will say I miss energy drinks so much I fantasise them and regularly smell my husbands when he opens them and puts them in the cup holder in the car! I havent dared have one and cant wait to have one.

Oh, I think I can top all of you! The too much chocolate/too little exercise is pretty standard I think - trying to redress that balance now - and I was good about booze, abstained completely until after the first scan, and I've stuck to 1 glass of red a week since (and not even every week). I have had the odd runny-yolked fried egg and some goat's cheese before I realised I wasn't supposed to, but I think I got away with it!

However... whispers I had the occasional toke on a joint...

...and I really do mean occasional. As in, one on Christmas eve, and one last Tuesday. And that's it. Given that I smoked reasonably heavily before pregnancy (about 5-6 actual cigarettes during the day, and 3-4 joints in the evening shared with OH), and haven't had an actual cig since the pee-stick said yes, I'm not beating myself up too much about it.

Then again, while I don't think it will cause any problems, if problems arise of their own accord, it will be very difficult to convince me they're not my fault.

Forgive me, Tiny Hippie. You could have chosen a worse Mummy, god knows there are plenty, but you could also have picked a better...

What's wrong with energy drinks? I am still enjoying the lemon and lime flavour of Lucozade Lite, I can't see what would be wrong with that? Or did you mean the caffeine ones like Red Bull? Never had those so not missing them.

Well, let begin:

I've eaten cashew nuts and peanut MM's, even though I know I should not. If I had not been stopped, could have shamefully eaten the whole packet

Really took a liking to Prawns and seafood early on, but that has stopped now.

I can not seem to take my vitamins, I do try my hardest, I promise.

When making cakes, I had a lick of cake batter and then relised it had uncooked egg in there, whoopsie

I mean red bull but they do a cheap version its 35p and its all our estate buys at the local shop. I keep seeing cans on the floor, or people holding them and its actually driving me insane. What is annoying is 4 years ago when I was pregnant with DD1 I didnt even know I liked the fecking things now I feel like a crack addict deprived of drugs. What the hell have they done to me argh!!

Nellabutterfly I doubt anything matters in moderation but I am a complete worrier. I had a small glass of wine the other day for the first time in nearly 7 months and swore it made me a little tipsy [lightweight alert!] then I woke up in the night and persuaded myself that as I couldnt feel the baby move that it was dead! spent ages tossing and turning trying to get it to move and then in the morning it was fine I was just exhausted all day at work!

Good point by vixsatis and picked up by blackcap what actually happens with toxomaplosis?

Also, I tend to ( v naively ) think in the older days there was limited guidance so my mum smoked, drank etc and I'm reasonably normal(!)

Well.. Before I knew I was pregnant. I had my hen weekend in magaluf.. Went on sunbeds, drank so much I don't even remember having 2 tattoos in a dodgy Spanish tattoo parlour had a jacuzzi and everything else you shouldn't do then found out I was 8 weeks haha opppssss. Now 22 and so far so good.. When I had my dd 5 years ago the things you could do we're so different !! I say a bit of what you fancy can't do much harm ;-)

AimeeO the bit about the cat made me smile to myself.

I couldn't sleep last night (36weeks) so have felt all day like I have a hangover, craving crap food. I feel guilty for overeating in the first place but especially for all the shit I had.

-apple
-orange juice
-porridge and raisins
-roast potatoes AS A SNACK at 11
-2 yoghurts
-a whole frozen 4 cheese pizza
-loads of cashew nuts
-quite a lot of quality streets

I think I'm off to the kitchen now to get grapes and without a doubt I will also have hot chocolate to help me sleep later. I'm a pig who will have a 10lb baby without a doubt!
