Hah! I broke a lot of rules while pregnant. I had soft serve, sushi, soda a few times a week, and mayonaisse based salads (which I didn’t even know were a no-no). Oh, and hot dogs and bacon. This sounds bad now that I read it, but I didn’t down these things all day, every day! I was healthy most of the time.

@Shelby81:  Unless you mentally want to quit, quitting is essentially impossible. I mean really, the fact that your dad passed away would’ve made you so emotional, and if your way to deal with the stress is through smoking, then I can understand it. While no, smoking isn’t good for you or your baby, it’s not the end of the world. Zero judgement here!

@jaia07:  so funny – my mom told me that she ate hot dogs and champagne a week before she gave birth to me – could explain why i’m so classy 🙂

I disliked coffee and did not drink it during my ‘normal’ life. However, after being pregnant and morning sickness kicking in HIGH GEAR, I was unable to eat anything. I tried EVERYTHING that was suggested on many websites to curb this. Like ginger, eating smaller meals, eating less carbs, eating crackers before getting out of bed, gingerale, peppermint tea, etc. etc. You name it, I tried it.

The one and ONLYYYYYYYYYYY thing that worked was coffee. Some pregnant lady on some blog somewhere posted this comment that it allowed her the capability to eat whatever she wanted and she didn’t feel as sick anymore either throughout the day. I HAD to try it. And lo and behold, she was RIGHT!!!! 

So I will have a cup a day. Sometimes two. It’s my pregnancy elixir.
