Confession time!?

Question

Hi girls, any confession you'd like to make about pregnancy? I'll start with two
1) I'm 21 weeks pregnant and had half a glass of wine the other day during dinner. I know child protective services is just waiting to take my unborn child away from me now.
2) I sometimes, okay often, use pregnancy as an excuse not to do housework so my dh does it instead.

What are your confessions?

Answer 1

Ok, so here's my dirty little secrets. I drank at least 2 caffinated beverages a day sometimes 3 (GASP!) I also ate crab legs at least once a month (DOUBLE GASP!)
here is the one that will get child services pounding on my door next, I even smoked a few cigarettes during my pregnancy!

Oh, one more, I would use the pregnant belly as an excuse to jump ahead of people in line for anything that they would let me, stores, the restroom, fast-food places.

My son was 8lbs and 5ozs at birth and st 6 months he now weights 21 lbs

Answer 2

i had sex at 40 weeks for the sole purpose of getting labor started... with my husband.

i painted a room on a ladder.

went roller skating.

snorkeled in the ocean near twelve foot long nurse sharks hiding in coral.

rode a big boat 90 miles south of florida and got sicker than a dawg.. (couldnt take dramamine)




oh, the guilt!

Answer 3

Last time I drank a wine cooler at a wedding..

This time at 16 weeks I had a glass of wine at new years.

In the beginning I actually was sick though and couldn't do anything around the house, let alone keep any food down, so you got me there.

Both times, I did use it as an excuse for my hubby to do my nails... lol.. He does such a great job at french manicures.. but don't tell his friends that.. lol...

I also use it as an excuse for my husband to help me more around the house and with our son... I pretend to be soooo helpless... If he only knew...

And one more for ya.....

Sometimes, if we go out somewhere I use my pregnancy to get a seat. I just rub my belly (like they can't notice it anyways.. I am 24 weeks and ALL belly.. lol... ) And then I say "man I really need to sit down.." It even works when my husband is with me.... and he gets to sit down too.....

There are plenty more, but I won't share all my secrets.. :)

Answer 4

Oh, I had wine during both pregnancies.

I also drank caffiene and ate all the wrong foods. Probably forgot to take my prenatal vitamins like I should have been.

I also used the fact that I was pregnant with twins to sit down once and eat a dozen glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts and drink a gallon of milk. Man did that feel good!

Answer 5

I had half a beer on New Years.

I smoked some cigarettes in November or December.

I go for long walks in the woods....... by myself.

We haven't told my boyfriend's mom that she's going to be a gramma, and didn't tell my dad until last week.

I sit on the couch and ask my boyfriend to get me a cup of tea, which I drink about 3 cups a day of.... caffeinated.

Answer 6

i was told by my doc that it is ok to have a 1/2 glass of wine once in a while just not every day she said maybe once or twice in each trimester when i was prego w/ my son i was told the same thing and i use the pregnancy not to do my house work as well

Answer 7

I have used my pregnancy to get out of going to a funeral that I knew was going to be boring with a huge number of senior citizens.

My husband (who hates cats) has been on litter duty and I insist he clean it every day when I only did it every other day myself.

OK OK I'll admit it too. I have smoked a few cigarettes. Not many but a few times.

Answer 8

TO the person above my answer...how did you lose all the weight and how long did it take?

Anyway,
I ate and ate and ate. I didn't have any cravings really. But we would go to buffet restaraunts and I would FILL up my plate with desserts...sometimes two plates...cause, I'm pregnant!

Now I have a 6 week old and no idea how to lose all the weight (and NOW I'm craving those desserts!!)

Answer 9

I don't know really, I was always wanting to do stuff..i moved a dresser up a spiral stair case when i was 8 months pregnant LOL i won't say that was a wise choice but i was always afraid things wouldn't get done if i didn't jus do it myself' :P
I was tired alot and cramped alot (probably from the dresser) heheh but yeah a little wine won't do any harm =)

Oh yeah i did eat the hell outta some hot and spicy food!! I dunno if that really mattered, I have two kids, one was 9lbs and one was 9lbs 7oz, so it didnt affect their size any!! LOL

Answer 10

i would sleep the day away because i was "tired." it was anemea. after taking iron pills i would use it as an excuse to lay down, "i'm anemic i need to rest."
as long as you don't overdo it on the wine it's not that bad for your baby. i drank wine with all three of my babies and they are no less than perfect.
