Which Pregnancy "rules" do you follow?

[leviosa]

Pumping gas, yep...I will keep doing that.

Raw meat, I will eat it medium or not at all. I can't eat meat cooked more than medium. It's nasty that way.

I still pump gas (otherwise I'd run out!) and eat undercooked meat. I figure the extra iron and protein is worth it and I can't stomach dry tough steak even while not pregnant!

[saltandvinegar]

I guess I follow most of these...

I don't drink alcohol and I didn't dye my hair with DS. I probably won't this time either but I had low-lights last so they've faded to look pretty natural anyway.

For some reason I don't each much lunch meat but automatically start craving it as soon as I'm pregnant. So I usually heat it up first.

I also tell DH that I can't clean the bathrooms because of the chemicals/low ventilation. No idea how true this is but I hate cleaning the bathrooms so it's a nice 9 month break from that.

1) No alcohol- Nothing other than a sip here and there. Although my fav fall beer is Pumking and I had a half glass of it about a week before DS was born. It was the best glass of beer I've ever had in my life!
2) No caffeine- For now I'm not drinking any, but after first tri I will prob go back to one soda/day.
3) No cold cuts- I will just heat them up.
4) No soft cheeses- I won't be following this one!
5) No raw fish- Don't eat it anyway.
6) No "big fish" like tuna- I'll still have canned tuna here and there.
7) No honey- Just not raw.
8) No hair dye- N/A
9) No cleaning with chemicals- I'll still clean as usual, just make sure it's ventilated. Nesting had me scrubbing floors with a toothbrush with DS!
10) No cat litter- No cats here!

1) No alcohol-follow; not too hard for me, though I did have a glass of red wine the night before I tested!
2) No caffeine- on the fence about this one. Mostly switched to decaf but trying to limit soda anyway.
3) No cold cuts- I actually ate a deli sandwich today and totally forgot that this was a thing.
4) No soft cheeses-I probably will steer clear because I am not around soft cheeses too often. But if I'm around blue cheese, it's really hard for me to just keep walking.
5) No raw fish-I don't like fish raw or otherwise
6) No "big fish" like tuna-same as above
7) No honey-this might be hard, but I usually use maple syrup over honey anyway.
8) No hair dye. I already have a hair apt scheduled for like...mid February so I hope it would be safe enough by then
9) No cleaning with chemicals- oh this one will be really hard. Because if I don't do it, no one does.
10) No cat litter- Don't have a cat and don't need an excuse to stay away from cat litter.

I like my steak medium rare, my sushi raw and my egg yolks runny.

Other than that, I follow the rules reasonably well, I suppose. But most of them are pretty stupid.

I follow most of the rules. Except I was bad the other day: I ate raw pancake dough.

*bows head in shame*

I can't help it, I just love the taste.

I was totally in board with this until I had to do a double take at "pancake". It has such a weird taste/texture like it's bubbling on my tongue or something lol

I love the fizzy feeling! I totally accept that I'm an odd bird.
