What have you given up because you are PG

Kaitlin'smom replied: same here caffiene! gave it up when preg, and now while nursing.
BTW A&W does not have caffiene! I love it!
ediep replied: Coffee, sugar free things like yogurt, gum, soda, and running.
Hillbilly Housewife replied: I gave up smoking, and for the most part, caffeine. I'd still have a coffee now and then.
What I DIDN'T give up - in fact..I used pg as an excuse for MORE!!!
Chocolate
Big Macs
Chocolate
Salt and Vinegar Chips
Ketchup Chips
Chocolate
Corn Pops
Chocolate
Milk - up from 1 cup at dinner to 3 or 4 in a day...
And I wonder why I put on so much weight? I know better for next pregnancy... 
Jen71802 replied: I've given up deli meats - which means not eating
any sandwhiches 
Damn that listeria!!! 
I've also given up tuna fish b/c of mercury.
And DUH.....I forgot soda has caffeine...and
I've been drinking a lot of coke lately!
Hillbilly Housewife replied: lol! You can always buy a roast, and slice it up, can't you? Or chicken breasts? Make your own sandwich meats!!
Ps: I ate deli meats throughout my pg... no problems for me, but you,re better to feel safe!
MommyToAshley replied:
I gave that up too during PG for same reason. I was told that you could eat it though if you heated it up to at least 165 degrees internal temp. I did fry some on a pan once or twice.
Kaitlin'smom replied: okay, I had not heard of that with deli meats ............hummm but thinking back I dont think I ate that much of it.
what kind of problems can it cause?
casmi replied: I give up caffeine and junk food all around. Since I just found out that I am preggo, I haven't given up caffeine yet. I will start weaning myself off of my morning cup of coffee, the very occasional glass of Coke, the very rare bite of chocolate.
I usually get healthy cravings -- my mom's homemade pickles or cucumbers. 
MommyToAshley replied:
yummmm!  My grandma used to make homemade pickles and cucumbers!!! Now you have me craving them!
Hillbilly Housewife replied: Something strange that I,ve craved during my pg - Nutella and Sliced cheese sandwiches....
??
It's pretty good... i still have one on occasion...even DH agrees the two flavours mix extremely well...
Same with Pickles and cheese. Yum! 
ediep replied: I forgot that I also gave up tuna.
CantWait replied:  hahaha given up......ummmm well I don't drink a lot of coffee, although I don't drink as much tea anymore. Didn't eat a lot of tuna or deli meats. I've given up liquor altogether, won't even have a glass of wine, boy do I miss it, but I don't believe in it. So nothing I guess....
ohhhhhhh yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, now I remember:
I gave up excercise, lol between work and the house and not sleeping well, I just can't hurdle up the energy for it LOL 
supermom replied:
Yes, I am not a big drinker either, maybe a glass of wine or a mixed drink on a Friday night, but that is one thing that I sure miss that I've given up. I'm really gonna miss a cold margarita in the summer when we cook mexican food!  Other than that, anything with caffeine made me sick the first three months so it was easy to give that up! I am drinking one cup of coffee now in the AM, but no other caffeine at all with this one!
OklahomaSooners replied: oh GOD BLESS A & W ROOT BEER.
I don't miss caffeine.. but i think I'm addicted to Carbonation.
I gave up coffee and Coors Light
I would say I gave up jogging and working out.. but that would be a lie. LOL
Konder68 replied: I've given up my sanity! LOL  With 5 boys running around already and one on the way, and just starting in on the MS phase of things, things are looking pretty insane around here.
Beset wishes for a H&H pg!

MommyToAshley replied:
LOL!
I couldn't even imagine 5 boys... I hope you have some help while PG!! Hope the MS doesn't last too much longer either.
