Pregnancy Guilty Pleasures

on February 16, 2009 at 6:56 AM

"I'll have another, please."

We all have them. Those little indulgences you allow yourself when you're PG -- whether it's something considered a pregnancy no-no or just something you really love and allow yourself more of in your current state.

I saw a post about guilty pleasures in the Pregnancy group and it reminded me of mine -- milkshakes (a lot of them). Mmmmmm. I was due in July. It was hot. I have a sweet tooth.

Moms in the post shared all kinds of things they like to indulge in from time to time -- here are a few highlights.

Pregnancy Guilty Pleasures

-- Hot baths

-- Red Bull

-- Sodas and Mexican queso

-- Ice cream and hot dogs

-- Coffee

-- Chocolate

-- A little alone time at the slot machines

-- A diet Coke with my McDonald's

-- Sex!

-- Blue cheese

-- Caesar salad

-- Lunch meat

-- Cherry Coke

So, spill -- what's your guilty pleasure?

I tend to give in once in a while. I don't feel so bad because i tend to eat healthy the majority of the time. I like a coffee once in a while and i do tend to get a sweet tooth and dig in, eek!

With DD1, it was mall food, I worked in the mall and EVERYTHING was good. With DD2, I had Whopper Jr's and root beer floats. I thought my poor girl was going to come out a big blob, fortunately, she came out OK! :) Next pregnancy, I'm going to try a little restriction.

I have found Barq's Root Beer absolutely irresistible the past couple weeks. The caffeine-free root beer just will NOT do. Not sure why...

And... I had a little feta with dinner tonight. And it was so...amazing. I'll have to say no on having anymore until she gets here... but man... it was good.

Caffeine has been a struggle I've given it up for the most part but I still indulge occasionally.

Hey sarasara, I think its best to lay off the sauce while youre prego. No amount of alcohol is considered safe, which means no one knows how much it would take to damage your baby.
