So everyone knows people love to judge and comment on what pregnant women do. Well screw that, let's hear what you've done "wrong", unpopular options, whatever the hell you want to bitch about people weighing in on!

Although please try and keep it judgement free as this is just a lighthearted post to make us all feel a little bit better in an option laden time. Halo

I'll start.....today I over indulged on coffee and stole a few mouthfuls of my boyfriends beer. And it was glorious Brew

Yours are all so tame compared to mines! I stopped smoking when trying to get pregnant but around 24 weeks we had these awful yob like neighbours who drank every day, I was walking into my house and they just started verbally abusing me and threatening to smash my windows, ended up being a police matter bit I was so worked up I had a cigarette to calm my nerves. Oh my god Iv never ever felt so guilty in all my life after I had it. Made me feel rotten and consumed with guilt for months! Other than that I was pretty healthy and ate all the right things but it didn’t make me feel any better.

@lockdownpregnancy 😂😂 my husband has said the exact same thing to me "you can't call him that when he comes out!!"

Can I can him that during labour though aha..

Also I forgot to add to my original post, I won't even go into the night out I had the Saturday before finding out I was pregnant... it was my 30th birthday celebrations so further elaboration is probably not required 🙊

OH WELL... baby boy despite all odds seems to be absolutely perfect 👌

Enjoy your soon to be rosé and Prosecco!!

Cheese on toast for breakfast nearly every morning lol

@MrsRose2018 I think the name calling during labour is allowed! Although it may be that the name calling aimed at your DP and not the baby!!! Haha! 😝
The second my DH goes back to work the second the Rose wine will be straight in the fridge to chill!
I may even put it in the freezer to chill quicker! 😝

babyt2020 · 09/05/2020 13:43

Are you not supposed to eat prawns? I've had loads! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

GaaaaarlicBread · 09/05/2020 14:18

@babyt2020 you can have them as long as they’re cooked, I’ve had so many in my pregnancy!

amazedmummy · 09/05/2020 14:23

I did all sorts. I ate cured meat that I shouldn't have. I stopped taking my vitamins because they upset my stomach. I barely exercised because of PGP. I drank Diet Coke like it was going out of fashion and I had a C-section for maternal request because he was measuring big. On top of that I gave up breastfeeding because it was making us both miserable and do you know what? He's perfect.

EmmaOvary · 09/05/2020 14:28

38+4. Been eating about 6 custard creams a day (I eat sensibly too, that's not all I eat!). Also had a weak white wine spritzer the other day.

TiptopJ · 09/05/2020 14:49

I've eaten way to much sugar and fatty carbs. I've done 0 exercise apart from a 20 minute walk twice a week for the last 8 weeks (with my toddler so slower than even my normal place) and I drink a can of diet coke a day. What makes me laugh though is i was going to have a tuna sandwich for lunch today but then I remembered I've already had tuna twice this week so I've hit my recommended amount 🤦‍♀️

lockdownpregnancy · 09/05/2020 15:31

Wasn't joking when I said I ordered a bunch of crap from amazon! 😂😂😂

@amazedmummy can you write a pregnancy book, because I gen love you!

I have said to so many times, women need to be able to say that pregnancy and motherhood (and your child sometimes) is not the perfect bright and fluffy, always happy, Disney fairytale dream people say it is!

Sometimes it's pretty damn shit! Doesn't make you any less grateful or love your child any less

MrsRose2018 · 09/05/2020 15:41

@lockdownpregnancy me and my husband made and decorated cupcakes today for our "baby shower" and ordered all the toppings and stuff off amazon!

If it makes you feel any better I am HORRIFIED at the E numbers listed on the back of the packets... however I'm also off.my.tits because I have eaten like 4 of these 🤷‍♀️

Confession Time!
lockdownpregnancy · 09/05/2020 16:40

@MrsRose2018 that's made me chuckle! The cupcakes look yummy though so I don't blame you for having 4! Why not eh! 😝

Emberfoot · 09/05/2020 17:49

Too much caffeine, too much sugar and too much fat lol, but I have been good and gone from regularly over drinking before baby to having none, so idm too much.

Ginntoniconpause · 09/05/2020 19:46

@Nowisthemonthofmaying I'm a vegetarian too... I've been eating wafer thin chicken out of the packet!

amazedmummy · 09/05/2020 20:30

Thank you @MrsRose2018 I'm in town all week. I thoroughly hated being pregnant. I said to DH if I HAD to do it again to get DS I would but I am so so happy that I don't. He is a much wanted and long awaited little bundle but I couldn't be happier that pregnancy is behind me.

P.S those cupcakes look amazing and I'm pretty sure I'd have polished off the lot.

PrinnyPree · 09/05/2020 21:32

I have a mix of haagen daaz Belgium chocolate and ben and jerrys peanutbutter cup icecream in a waffle cone every day plus chocolate and crisps on the regular, I'm 38 weeks pregnant. Blush

I also painted furniture with with solvent based paint because I forgot to check the label when I was in my first trimester...

MrsRose2018 · 09/05/2020 21:44

@amazedmummy LOL it wasn't the quantity of the cupcakes I was bothered about, I ate a whole
Large dominoes pizza to myself a few weeks ago (probably should have included that in my below list of failings as a mother) it was the fact the fizzy blue sweets etc used to decorate the cupcakes were ordered from amazon and im pretty sure should be banned in all regulated countries!

The amount of E numbers listed probably equated them to speed!

mrs87 · 09/05/2020 21:54

This thread has made my day! I can't get enough Diet Coke, I've had a pint this evening... Plus I am not exercising whatsoever (except walking/waddling my dog) and am shovelling chocolate/biscuits/cake into my greedy little gob with my fat little hands daily!

My meals are healthy ish, lots of vegetables and I'm eating fruit too... Just wish that cancelled out the absolute crap I'm consuming in between!

amazedmummy · 09/05/2020 22:46

@MrsRose2018 I had the list of dos and donts memorised and E numbers were not mentioned so munch away.

Itsnoteasyfeelingqueasy · 09/05/2020 23:51

I love this! I’ve really got into drinking coke the last couple of weeks ( I’m 31 weeks pregnant) I’m sticking to one a day but also having a coffee and sometimes two teas! Wild!

lovelyjubbly12 · 10/05/2020 06:08

@PrinnyPree I can't stop thinking about that amazing ice cream combo... I don't blame you for having that... I may have to go to the shops today. 😫

MrsRose2018 · 10/05/2020 09:14

I'm literally about to have a bowl of lucky charms for breakfast 🤷‍♀️

Lyris · 10/05/2020 09:36

I polished off a huge tub of cola bottles because I had a craving in about 3 days. Oops

I was also absolutely hammered day drinking 2 weeks before I found out i was pregnant.

I'm also still vaping ... which I feel guilty about but midwife isnt bothered as long as I'm not smoking. I'm on basically nothing nicotine level wise it's all about the habit and crutch.

lockdownpregnancy · 10/05/2020 09:37

@MrsRose2018 oh my days really!!! I haven't had them since I was a kid! I didn't even know they still made them!
I'm so jealous! 😂
