Alcohol, caffeine, etc in TWW?

Question

Do you guys start taking pregnancy lifestyle precautions during your TWW? Like no alcohol, limit caffeine, no lunch meat, raw fish, soft cheese, retinol, etc?

Answer

Yes with my first. Nope with my twins. I didn’t even stop when pregnant with them, just moderated....still ate sushi, still had an occasional glass of wine or pint, smoke a bowl here or there for morning sickness. Just didn’t do it regularly. Strange enough, my eldest (21) who I was super strict and anal with during pregnancy and his first 3 years (ate vegan, no alcohol, no pot, no vaccinations, natural birth, hippy dippy lifestyle, etc) is autistic and suffers from clinical depression. People in today’s society act like a single act of malfeasance is going to automatically retard or destroy everything all at once and in that moment. Sorry but that’s not how it works. You can do everything you think is right and things can still go wonky or wonderful but you don’t have to be perfect for either to happen.

Answer

Nah, baby doesn't even share your blood until after implantation. I don't do drugs or smoke but I do have evening drinks and my OBGYN said it's fine up until a bfp. My thoughts are that if I start giving things up and acting like I'm preggo when I'm not, the letdown is much worse. To each their own.

Answer

Ive done it both ways, and oddly have conceived on the cycles that I DIDN’T cut out alcohol. I never get a bfp the cycles that I don’t drink & eat good my tww 😂

Yes, I did limit some things - no alcohol, smoking/drugs, less than 200mg of caffeine a day (many days none at all) and of course took pre-natal vitamins every day.  I still ate lunch meats though.
