Have your habits changed since ttc?
Once you started ttc did you change your eating and drinking habits? How about dying hair? I've heard mixed feelings from people. Friends have said that they just lived normally, drank alcohol (but not excessively) and still had a cup of coffee in the morning. Just wondering how everyone handles this.
I'm afraid that people in my life are going to start noticing the changes I have made. I'm always up for a glass of wine and I have cut it out completely. I think if AF comes this month I'm going to have to go out w/ everyone and have a drink just so I don't keep getting all the questions!

Re: Have your habits changed since ttc?
the only change I have honestly made is taking my prenatals in the AM (and using OPK). With the exception of hard drugs, I dont think that anything can really put TTC in danger.

Ditto. Though DH is recently trying to quit smoking, and he won't give me a reason why he's finally decided. I think it's because we're TTC, but he refuses to tell me, lol.

Re: Have your habits changed since ttc?
I've cut out all caffeine again, I know with dd that was the hardest thing for me to give up so I figured I'd start now. I take prenatals as well but that is the only changes I've made.

Re: Have your habits changed since ttc?
a few months prior to TTC I lost 20lbs to prepare my body for gaining extra weight. Since starting ttc, I've been drinking less and I've switched my coffee to half calf. I also take my prenatals, but that's really it. Even DH started to lose weight and he's been taking vitamins as well.

Re: Have your habits changed since ttc?
Prior to TTC I ate healthy and exercised (a lot). I calmed down the exercise a bit as to not put too much stress on my body. I still drink on occasion

Re: Have your habits changed since ttc?
I haven't really changed my habits much. I was never much of a drinker so I don't mind cutting out alcohol, although until I actually get a BFP I might still enjoy a glass of wine occasionally. I still drink a cup of coffee in the morning, and I'm still exercising regularly. The only thing that's really changed is A LOT more  ,

Re: Have your habits changed since ttc?
I have been a bit healthier overall - less caffeine, more water, regular exercise - but I don't cut anything out.
It's been 15 months since this journey began for me - I can't imagine how much more difficult it would be without wine! 
(Of course, I gave it all up when I was actually pregnant.)

Re: Have your habits changed since ttc?
I live my life normally. We have been TTC for 13 months. Once I (hopefully) get a BFP then I will change my habits.

Re: Have your habits changed since ttc?
I take my vitamins and try to eat more veggies. If I gave up drinking over this ttc journey I would for sure have been committed by now.

Re: Have your habits changed since ttc?
I made absolutely no changes whatsoever. I ate what I wanted and did what I want. I didnt change anything until I got my BFP. The only thing that I started doing was taking my prenatal

Re: Have your habits changed since ttc?
I have been taking Prenatals and don't drink unless I am at a party or something. Stopped the glass of wine after a hard day of work. I never drank coffee or much soda so I don't have to cut that out. I think I could exercise a litte though, or walk.

same... the only thing is I have tried to use less artificial sweeteners, but that is also a long term thing. If they say not to have it while pregnant and that children should not have them, I have to wonder how could it can be for us normally!
