Coffee cravings!
Pregnancy may be a beautiful thing, but actress Zooey Deschanel is learning that it can be pretty tough, too.
The 35-year-old New Girl star, who is expecting her first child with her fiance Jacob Pechenik, says she's steadfastly following the dos and don'ts of her pregnancy diet - but she's not too happy about it!
"You can't eat so many things when you're pregnant!" Zoeey said during a visit to Jimmy Kimmel Live this week. "You can't have sushi. You can't have cheese that tastes good. You can have a little bit [of coffee], but I would have, like, four cups a day. And now I can have a half cup, which is a joke! It's a total joke!"
Another thing that the mom-to-be is missing? Her wine!
"You can't have alcohol," she laments. "I miss that, I like wine."

Zooey may think she has it tough, but her big sister Emily Deschanel, who is also pregnant, is sticking to a vegan diet. The Bones star had to stand up against critics of her strict diet during her first pregnancy in 2011.
“Saying no to meat makes me feel stronger inside; I feel aligned with my morals and ethics," she , explained. "I still have to defend myself because people don’t understand it. As a pregnant woman especially, people will say to me, ‘You must eat meat and dairy.’ You really have to tap into your self-esteem whenever people try to convince you you’re making the wrong choice.”
As for Zooey, she'll have to hold out for those four cups of coffee for a while yet. She's revealed that she's due in the summer.
