TWW - Do you act as you are pregnant?

Question

During this long TWW period, do you change your actions and foods just incase you are pregnant? Like not drinking alcohol, limiting caffeine, not eating raw fish, no hot tubs, etc?

Answer

Not just during 2ww but for the last 14 months, I've given up drinking (I only drink wines and I miss them dearly 😩😩😩) I still drink one cup of coffee 3x a week. I don't eat any kind of raw meat anyway. I don't do heavy workouts just cardio 30 minutes a day, everyday. That has not changed.

Answer

The way I see it many oops babies were conceived unbeknownst to their moms soo...And when u pass 6 months it feels like a hindrance. I don't drink closer to af. If AF comes I drink lol

Answer

I don't drink anyway (husband is 10 years sober), but I avoid Ibuprofen, try to watch my sugar intake, and try to remember to avoid raw fish. I've never thought twice about ordering rare steaks though, and I eat that pretty often 😳

Answer

I drank on New Years and then got a BFP the day after. My advice, take a pregnancy test before you drink just to feel better about your odds. My boys came out ok and that was the only time I drank but I wish I hadn't.

Answer

I voted yes, but I don't really change anything.  I don't really drink anyway (maybe one drink ever few months), I don't eat fish at all or lunch meat, I don't drink coffee, though I do drink 1-1 cups of black tea a day (haven't changed this at all).  The only thing I would say I've changed is being careful not to take ibuprofen and I am just sticking to that all the time as they say it can mess with  ovulation as well.

Answer

I'd say the only thing I stop is drinking alcohol but I'm not much of a drinker I'm lucky to have one drink a month. 
The last two times iv had lots to drink was my SIL's hens night I had 5 shots and 4 mixed drinks. Then a month later at my SIL and Brother's wedding I had 4 bottles of wine with one of our sisters.

Answer

I'm not a big drinker so I tend to avoid alcohol anyway, but otherwise I try to act as normally as possible. I have binge-drinking friends who kept bingeing until they found out they were pregnant at about 8 weeks with no harm to the little one. The TWW is hard enough on us ladies without having to make changes just in case!

Answer

I avoid alcohol and limit caffeine because I've read that they can impact implantation, not because I'm worried about hurting any potential fetus.  I average about 2 drinks a month so alcohol is easy for me.  Caffeine is my favorite voice so that's another story.  I also still eat deli meats, which will be one of the harder things to give up.

Answer

I might have a glass of wine still (I'm not a heavy drinker anyway), but I am conscious of heat, so won't use a hot tub etc.

Answer

I don't during 2ww except for not lifting heavy things. I changed my diet, no alcohol etc months ago. I give everything my best effort.
