Pregnancy DONTS?

I was wondering if any momma's still do pregnancy DONT's? It could be anything. Smoking. Drugs. Alcohol. Sleeping on tummy. Sauna's. Raw meats. Etc.

In example, I hear sleeping on my tummy is bad but I'm 33 weeks and still do and my little princess is just fine.

I also still wear heels everyday to work. I have an obsession with shoes.

I also eat hot Cheetos with hot sauce and jalapeños (no heartburn!) and other spicy foods.

Lol, Goodness gracious. I'm glad we're all women enough to admit of not being "perfect" in our pregnancys. I had sushi right now but the kind with hot Cheetos crushed on the top. Yeah I've had about a wine glass or two in total but my doctor says I'm fine and so is the little one and that it's actually healthy. I haven't taken my prenatals in like a week :( I always forget.

I worked at a restaurant in my early pregnancy and they sold soft serve..I ate it every shift! My baby girl is healthy! Doctor said it's ok.
I eat cold sandwhiches and don't heat up the meat.
I still lay on my back for up to an hour at a time.
I have soda everyday.
I've ate raw shrimp.

Nothing too extreme!

I've had a few sips of wine here and there throughout my pregnancy, nothing extreme, and it probably equals about a full glass for my entire pregnancy. And I had a few sips of champagne on new years. Besides that I've been really good about everything else, except remembering my prenatals. I do remember sometimes though! Dr always says I'm perfect and so is baby!

I've been eating deli meats still but not to often and I have a coffee almost every morning and I have a coke zero every now and again too.. I have been craving a McDonald's strawberry thick shake for weeks now but they have soft serve in them and I am so tempted to give in but I'm scared I could hurt bub.. Does anyone on here still have soft serve?

Yes, I:
Eat deli meats
Drink soda
Sleep on my tummy
Eat jalapenos and lots of spice
Clean with my regular cleaning chemicals
Dont take prenatals
Take hot baths

To be fair though, I eat a lot more fruit,  drink milk, try to get a little exercise every day, and my doc says all my bloodwork comes back great. Even called me the "perfect little pregnant girl". I figure ill just make things worse on myself if I stress about remembering to do this or thay rather than just going by gut on moderation.

I laid on my tummy as long as I could ! And I used to eat hot cheetos all the time and drink a coke every once in a while. I also have a cup of coffee n the morning. I have to deal with my two toddlers which are 3 and 18 months old so I need all the energy I can get !! I also love taking warm baths a lot.  No infections :)
