first trimester confessions

[magpiedee]

I remember a thread like this from my last DDC, and it was helpful and cathartic. Confess your naughtiness!

I confess that I don't want to cook or smell food cooking or eat any food that i've cooked. All I want is middleweight fast food-- Moe's, Panda Cafe, Chik-fil-A. I also don't want to do any dishes, and half the foods I feed my daughter make me nauseated.

I confess that I want to drink milkshakes every second of every day. Chocolate milkshakes from Chik-fil-A with lots of whipped cream.

I confess that I am terrified that there will be something wrong with my baby because I took Mucinex, Benadryl, and cough drops and drank mint tea before I knew I was pregnant, and i've been googling them for several days. I also had 2 margaritas and 2 glasses of wine on 4 separate occasions. Eep.

I confess I can't wait to see my tummy get big, because pregnancy is the only time in my life that i've ever liked my tummy.

Anybody else?

[applecider]

I also want to eat nasty take out! And I am allowing myself to do that because I will eat whatever I can stomach right now. I had some wine too during the two week wait to find out, but I'm not really worried about it.

[waldorfknitmama]

I confess I' horney! But I don't want to have sex and/or have an orgasim because I'm afraid I have a m/c. I also confess I feel very powerful and proud to be pg and like to rub it in my friend's face who already has three kids (last one is only 4mo and she wants another!) and we kind of have a unspeaken compitetion and it feels good to be pg when she's not, becuase she was when I was desperitly trying. That's bad oops, confessions right?! I also like to use being pg as an excuse not to do anything!

[Munki'sMom]

I'm super lazy and my house is a MESS now!!!!!!!!!!

We were dancing and drinking (ugghhh crown and coke none the less) at a wedding couple days before I tested.

I'm still drinking my cup of coffee in the morning.

I have not been eating as healthy as I know I should be either.

SOMEONE GO AHEAD AND SHOT ME! lol

[momto3wantingmore]

The thought of sex right now repulses me the last few days my tummy has been so flip flop that I am not eating as much as I should and havn't been eating till around dinner time. If I eat before then I feel worse. I went to an all you can eat chinese place sat. and had 6 peices of fried shrimp and was angry they didn't put anymore out lol : I was hungry lol. I don't feel like doing anything so I have to force myself to clean or it woln't get done at all. Ahh and I love the gas :

[momto3wantingmore]

oh yeah and forgot to add I am a coke/coffee addict lol. I have 2 cups of coffee in the morning and have been limiting myself to 1 coke a day if I am lucky. I do however make myself drink a full glass of water before I can have either lol

[blairinargentina]

oh, thanks for this thread magpie! i need it!

i also confess to having my fair share of adult beverages before finding out. not worried about it, but it's a good confession though!

i confess to still really, really needing that morning cup of joe! though i rarely made it through the whole mug (maybe 6oz of it?) before it starts to taste revolting.

i confess to having some serious cravings for things like chik fil a and the like. though i have actually been splurging on more expensive foods lately (like southwest eggs rolls and pad thai and veggie sushi rolls from some really good resturants around here).

the thought of cooking lately makes me want to puke.

[tschifo]

I confess that I still need my Diet Pepsi in the afternoon. It keeps me going, and makes the headache go away. I told my coworkers to bite me when they reminded me that I shouldn't be having Diet Pepsi.

I confess that my house is a disaster, because instead of cleaning when ds is napping, I too am napping. For 2-3 hours.

I confess I'm having a very large, chocolate chip loaded brownie, and a very large berry muffin for dinner.

I confess that I may "forget" about my 8 week appointment. Off to research how "necessary" that appointment really is.

[JenInMpls]

I confess my bitter resentment toward my wonderful, 3.5yo son and his daily desires to go on walks / go to parks / etc because all I want to do is park my butt on the couch or, better yet, lay down and nap.

I confess my bad attitude with which I am going to my 8 week appt next Tuesday, because my first phone call with the midwife practice contained an assumption ("what was the first day of your last period?" - I should have said "January 29th!" because it wouldn't have been a lie! I should have! Nevermind that I ovulated on March 8th) and I hate assumptions because they lead nowhere good. I feel very defensive going into the appointment on a variety of levels and desperately wish I could work with someone to whom I don't have to explain or defend my beliefs. (To all of you who are thinking that this means I need to have an unassisted childbirth: um. no. sorry.)

I confess that I am lusting, lusting, lusting after a Surly Bender (very dark, malty beer). Someone darn well better bring me one of these after I've given birth.

[terrainthailand]

I confess that I had two glasses of wine on two separate occasions before I found out I was pregnant even though I should've known I could be.

I also confess that I am being extremely lazy and I'm not sure if it is because I feel sick and exhausted or because I have a convenient excuse.

[namistenicole]

I confess to eating take out almost every night for the past 3 weeks. I want to barf all day long, so when I get a craving for dinner I gotta go for it! I've eaten a lot of take out burritos recently... but you guys are making me wish we had a Chick-Fil-A. Mmm, that sounds good.

I confess that I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE MY DAMN PRENATAL VITAMINS. God, just the thought of them makes me nauseous. But I take them, I do.

I confess that I have severely neglected my husband in the 7 weeks I've been pregnant. That poor sweet man. All I want to do is sleep! And eat bean burritos!

I confess that I am completely freaked out about those first 8 weeks after the baby is born when everything is eating, sleeping, and (for me) depression.

[superlori]

Hmm... I confess that I ate an entire package of Oreos yesterday (and two pints of milk) in front of the TV while my 14 month old did who knows what...

I too drank a few glasses of wine one night even though I knew there was a chance I could be pregnant (but I was in denial! Didn't think it could be possible!)

I've been going to bed at 7.00 each night when my kid goes down. My poor husband gets home at 6 so no dinner or wife time for him!

I played in the sand pit the other day at a public park because I forgot I was pregnant and had to say a quick prayer against toxoplasmosis and all that.

I also keep forgetting I'm pregnant. Then something reminds me and I'm surprised again! I saw a 9 day old baby yesterday and I almost said, "Oh, I could have another." Then I remembered - I AM.

[Starfish11]

These are great and so funny knowing that we share such similar worries.

I confess that I am a certified nutjob right now due to worry/anxiety.

I confess that I am a slug at work and at home. All I can think about when I'm not at home is getting home and sitting my butt on the couch.

I confess that our house is gross right now; the six animals are pretty much winning. It's like Lord of the Flies right now in there.

I confess that I am eating more than I should.

I confess that I feel guilty about being a vegetarian while pregnant.

I confess that I have illogical reactions to sweet DH right now.

I confess that we owed SO MUCH MONEY in taxes this year that it has sent me spiraling into a vortex of worry about how we can afford a baby with the c.o.l. the way it is.

I confess that I am madly in love with being pregnant

I confess that I grab my boobs every now and then to ensure that they are still sore and I am still pregnant

[LoveMyJonah]

DH and I promised to keep this one a secret for a while and I just told two friends..... But they were sort of online friends who became RL friends..... I see them like four times a year. Doesn't count lol!

I'm still drinking coffee and I gave it up with DS. I know its ok to have two cups or less I just feel bad.

I'm already in my maternity bras. My boobs got big(ger) FAST!

I went on an eating binge for three days after finding out we were pregnant. I'm back in check now though

I'm afraid to have sex with DH too because we had sex the night before my miscarriage in January. I know it wasn't the reason, but I can't get it out of my head, kwim?

[romamama]

I am glad there is a place to confess!

I have been so tired that I have not started walking as much as I should nor am I doing my yoga on a cosistent basis anymore.

I have been horrible to my beloved DH due to the anxiety of his job throwing us in the wind, ie no money coming in and no insurance till July. I have just been so anxious, I can not enjoy the miracle in my own body.

His father is someone a I just do not like. He is an ob/gyn who hates the idea of homebirth which is what i want. He always tells my DH that Im a foolish woman.

I just crave chinese food.

whew!

[erinmacey]

I confess to still drinking coffee, too. Apparently not enough, because I am exhausted all the time.

I confess that I am reading posts on mdc and browsing motherhood maternity clothes (the summer clothes are SO cute!) instead of working like I should.

I confess that in ten minutes, I will probably walk to the gas station next door and buy chocolate milk and beefaroni, about the only things that seem appealing at the moment (last night's beautiful stuffed salmon turned my stomach, but this morning's McDonald's eggmcmuffin was divine).

I confess that I am grateful for the excuse to just go to bed at night without any nonsense (no touching!).

[rstump]

I don't have much to confess.....not cause I am good...just cause I don't worry too much about little things like a glass of wine or nasty fastfood. LOL.......I guess because this is my 5th.

For me.....I am having cravings for Pepsi (my al time BIGGEST vice) and Twizzlers.

I confess to flip flopping between wanting NO sex and wanting to JUMP my DH. He doesn't know what to do....he is kinda a deer in the headlights.

I confess to not feeling pregnant most of the time and LOVING it so far...although I normally don't get sick for another 2 weeks....so we will see.

[jenniferadurham]

Oh my goodness ladies!!!!!! I am CRACKING up right now!! Hilarious!!!!

This thread is AMAZING!!! She needs a trophy!

I confess that I am only 2 weeks (or so) along and I think that I am already showing a tad bit.

I confess that I love the attention(and the ok to be as lazy as I need) while I am pregnant.

I confess that I am so lazy that my phone alarm has been going off in the next room for about 30 miutes and I cant budge myself to go turn it off...

I confess that for the beginning weeks that I did not know, I didn't eat a bite of anything or drink anything until about 2 in the afternoon...nothing sounded good.

I have insomnia this time...WEIRD considering that I would rather sleep than eat on any given day. ( that's saying a lot....I LOVE FOOD)

Every little thing ticks me off... the *blanking* dogs outside barking, my lovely daughter talking, you name it, it's annoying.

Every time I take my bra off, I would like to curl up like a little baby in the fetal position and sob. I have very full C's not pregnant, and have resorted to wearing a sports bra. It's a game of "lets see how big these puppies can get!!!"

I haven't given my amazing DH the horizontal mambo in weeeeeeeeks. We have been trying for two months, and now that he did the great deed of impregnanting me, meh...can we not DTD??

DH brought home a dozen white roses last night...couldn't care less.

And it is ok to have A glass of red wine to calm yourself during pregnancy...every once in a blue moon.

All I crave is Mexican food. I ate a can of Hormel Tamales yesterday. It was the best thing in my mouth since I can remember.

I think I have lost my brain. I put it up for safe keeping...and have forgotten where I put it.

[LeaAline]

Kudos for the confessional

I confess to...

Lounging in my pjs and surfing mothering.commune and cloth diaper sites whenever possible.

Work seeming unbearable for 12 long hours.

Wanting only greasy "hangover" food like pizza, chinese, and grease-burgers.

Always feeling a little "farfy" (nauseated)

Drinking 3 Captain/Gingers on two seperate occasions during the 2ww because I didn't think it was possible after trying for six months.

Wanting to buy everything/anything BABY now, even though most people don't even know I'm preggs.

Enjoying our little secret!

[magpiedee]

I confess I want to drink 7 gallons of Horizon organic chocolate lowfat milk. OMGWTFBBQ, so. good.
