I am a bad, bad pregnant mommy.
During pregnancy, I tend to indulge cravings, and have had a very hard time sticking to tofu, as it has been making me sick these early months of pregnancy. So, I have been going along with a "regular" diet I guess you could say, of eating meat and drinking milk and having dairy while I am pregnant and unable to stomach soy and tofu :(
However, just like my last pregnancy, I forget things! I was making cookies and took a bite of raw cookie dough, and I've been making deli sandwiches every now and then. Last pregnancy I ate deli meat fairly often before I realized that is a pregnancy food they tell you to consume in moderation. lol...
Well, nothing happened with my first, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be cautious!
On top of that, last week I had a patient all weekend that doctors decided to isolate for tuberculosis (at the very end of my last shift). Of course the odds of this man giving me TB are slim, the possibility is still there, and it made me very frustrated.
Still, when I do things with ignorance, I can only pray that God take care of this little life inside of me. I am trying to eat right, drink water, I exercise (lightly), I don't take medications, I haven't been putting on lots of weight, and when I realize I am about to eat something possibly bad for the babes, I run away! There is only so much protection I can have at the hospital though...
*sigh*
This pregnancy just feels so different than my first. Other than the morning sickness (which was worse with the first), and the bloating, I wouldn't know that I was pregnant...Hopeing all is well!
