When I found out I was pregnant, I immediately

- stopped smoking
- stopped drinking coffee
- started eating 3 healthy meals a day, with veggies, fruit, etc..
- stopped working late at work


Ever since my d&c, I've gone back to to all my nasty habits... I know, what the *** am I doing when I'm in the process of TTC???? This certainly isn't helping me get pregnant..

Has anyone else gone back to their bad habits, even though TTC'ing?

I am over analyzing everything I did before I m/c as a possible blame so I have definitely not regressed . . . if anything I am super healthy. I don't drink anymore . . . I'm completely caffeine free . . . eating healthy fresh organic foods. Even if it had nothing to do with me, I would just continue to blame myself if I didn't change and make things right this time around.

Yes!! I started smoking again, drinking 2 cups coffee, at least 6 diet cokes, not eating healthy and working at least 70+ hours a week. I could have written what you did!

I am preggo now, and I am kinda acting as if I'm not though, I think cause in the back on my mind I think this one will end in m/c as well. I should cut out the coffee all together but it's so hard!

[.:Shortcake:.]

I did quit alot of things and the only thing I started doing again is I drink some... lol

Ugh. Thank you for starting this thread. I had cut down to 5 cigs a day, and Id put each out half way. So really, less than 3 full cigs a day. Seriously tried to stop altogether. Since the m/c Ive gone back to half a pack a day, with a nicoderm patch in my purse and nicorette gum in my pocket. I can not bring myself to use them though. Its like I have this block where I have no motivation to stop anymore. With every other pregnancy I was able to quit. I honestly dont know what my problem is! Ive gone back to not eating as healthy as I should, although I haven't started drinking my green tea again... God! I miss it! Maybe Im rebelling against myself! Ahhhh well, Pass the margaritas!

Since our loss I've tried hard to act like I'm still pregnant, meaning eathing healthy, drinking water, taking prenatals etc..

I even stopped drinking wine. The other night I had a lovely glass though! But once I get a positive on my OPK and we start having mad sex I'll not have another glass. Actually there's no more wine in the house so I'm not buying anymore

I started smoking again in my self-pity. But I hope I kick it this weekend.

We eat pretty healthy, I get sick from greasy foods anyways. I smoke a little, like 4-5 a day. I am addicted to Diet Dr Pepper Cherry so sometimes I have up to 4 a day. I am not a drinker, maybe once a month I will have a glass of wine....

Oh yeah, smoking, drinking, it all started the day I found out our baby had died. That first real cup of coffee almost knocked me out!

That said, it makes me angry that friends of mind have smoked throughout their pregnancies and have lovely, healthy children that were HUGE at birth!

I did give it all up and did everything right I even knew I was pregnant so I can't beat myself up about it.

Does anyone else worry that they're being a bit self destructive?
