Caffeine, hot tubs, sushi.... How many of you do the dont's??

I personally am so afraid of having a miscarriage, that I am very strict about not doing these things I'm not supposed to. However, after my 1st trimester I'm not nearly as careful. I love sushi, I drink a cup or two of coffee (de-caf) a day. I do seem to stay away from hot tubs though... You?

unfortunately the baby can be born with a disability whether you have a drink or not. also unfortunately, you can also have a miscarriage even if you do everything by the book. i had my birthday when i was couple wks preg with my first (but didnt know) and drank a LOT, nothing is wrong with my son. there is nothing you can do if you dont know your pregnant. half the stuff they say are no-nos are actually fine, at most just take it in moderation.

I try to be pretty good. Absolutely no alcohol...even though I'd love a glass of wine! I probably only drink one can of pop every few weeks. No hot tubs or too hot baths, and I'm not really a fish eater anyways. My only "risk" would be that I don't always heat up my deli meat. Some times I just want a cold turkey sub!

I went to Japan in my first trimester with my last pregnancy. I have to say I love Japanese food, but the morning sickness I had has turned me off it for life!!
I will drink a can of coke maybe once a month. I don't drink any alcohol at all. I do eat the occasional tiny piece of Brie (can't resist).
Apart from those things I think I am a pretty good girl :)

I don't really do/eat anything that i can't in pregnancy anyway but i do drink tea about once a day. I don't really drink so that's not a problem for me... i know a lady who drank with her first child (before she found out she was preggas) and turned out to have a major disability so that really put me off!!

i try to stick to it as closely as possible its up to me to keep this little one happy healthy and safe, so i dont do the hot baths ive got a list of food to avoid and i do, im not working out as heavily as i was just sticking to walking for now, i dont drink coffee anyway i lost my taste for that years ago. i try not to obsess over it but i dont want to be the cause of anything going wrong.

im very obsessive about the no no's too. durring my entire first pregnancy i never ever did anything that i wasn't sopost to do, and im not with my second either, i am also very afraid of having a miscarriage also, so i do everything in my power to prevent it. so your not alone :)

I still have one cup of coffee in the morning, I don't eat fish preggers or not so thats not a problem, I do however avoid hot tubs. And I eat soft cheeses as long as they are pasturized and I sometimes have a deli sandwich. I am a believer in "everything in moderation "......however I absolutly do not have any alcoholic drinks while preggers , I know some ladies have a glass of wine know and again and there babies are prefectly fine..but for me I won't take the chance.
