I cheated...

I am 6 weeks and 4 days and every since finding out that I'm pregnant I have been super strict with my eating and drinking, I've even changed body wash and shampoo to ones that are sodium lauryl sulfate and paraben free! ... But today I just needed real coffee. 100% caffeinated goodness... Just want to see how many of you ladies have cheated on your pregnancy diet and indulged in something you shouldn't have!


P.S.- No judgments here!!! Just for fun! Every woman is different and entitled to make their own decisions during pregnancy

No shame!! Were allowed 8oz of caffine a day, by the book. But your pregnant!!! Eat!!! Pig out. Save the diet for after. Enjoy your pregnancy, everything taste so good any way. Nobody judges a pregnant girl eating. N if they do shame. Girl eat!!!!! Just walk alot n drink water oh n brestfeed so everything falls right off.

Oh wow I feel awful now! I'm almost 9 months and I've been eating horribly.. Chocolate peanut butter cups, burgers, pizza, French fries, cake and cobbler and ice cream.. Dorritos omg so many dorritos! I only have gained 40 pounds, but still :P I have hypoglycemia so it's so hard not to eat whatever is just laying around lol plus being pregnant sure doesn't help!

I was constantly eating healthy besides the loaded special dark chocolate chip pancakes I eat in the morning here and there..I gave up coffee completely when I found out I was pregnant and just stuck with the dark chocolate.. but you ladies made my coffee addiction come back.. I'm at the end of my pregnancy..so what the hell..I'm going to go drink a nice peppermint mocha:)

I tried decaf but hated it (hence the name) so I switched to half caf. It's decent... but I miss my morning hazelnut coffee. I'm a coffee freak.

Well, I cheated last night. I limit my fast food intake to once a week (Fridays) but after seeing the cupcake on this app....I drove to Taco Bell at 1130pm and got tacos and a Mt Dew freeze. It was soooo good.

I know some caffeine is fine, I mostly feel guilty because my husband reads just as much as I do (although not always from the correct sources) and is always like "is that okay for baby..I read that you shouldn't do this... I read that this is bad for you". Plus I'm a nurse so then I get the "you should know better" lol ...its all good though I enjoyed my coffee in peace this morning with no hubby around and I don't have to worry about the cats telling on me LOL

I drink coffee just about everyday with no shame. I had cut out all sweets except for natural ones and they have snuck back in :(

Caffeine isnt that bad if you were drinking it prior to getting pregnant....I'm addicted to caffeine and my first pregnancy I had a cup of coffee everyday and my daughter came out fine... this pregnancy I have also drank coffee but not nearly as much (and only 1 cup in the last 3 weeks since I found out I have gestational diabetes)... my Dr said that I needed to cut back but didn't have to give it up entirely
