Have you cheated?
Have you eaten things on the forbidden list? Cold Cuts? Hot Dogs? Tuna? I just had cold cuts and feel very guilty. I just couldn't help myself. Does anyone believe in "everything in moderation"?

Re: Have you cheated?
I had cold cuts and hot dogs my entire pregnancy - I wouldn't stay away from them - just don't eat them breakfast, lunch and dinner

Re: Have you cheated?
I believe in everything in moderation with both my pg's.
I eat most things on the "forbidden" list, the others I just don't like to eat.
Only thing I won't touch is alchohol.

Re: Have you cheated?
i 'cheat". i've had practically everything on the "forbidden" list except for raw fish/sushi. Usually i have no probs sucking down raw bar. I do feel a little guilty sometimes but i'm not excessive with anything so . . . and i've had a good prenancy so far.

Re: Have you cheated?
I haven't had anything on the forbidden list from my doctor yet but just reading some of the things on here makes me feel like i am not eating the right foods. I feel like some people take it really far with restricting themselves during pregnancy.
I hate veggies and rarely eat them. I drank a decent amount of diet soda for a while (now I am no longer in the mood so i stopped). i eat chocolate (still not sure why so many on here seem to think this is bad!).... Oh and I had my hair highlighted last week when i was only 11W6Ds....

Re: Have you cheated?
I eat lots of "Forbidden" stuff, in moderation. I think the only things I haven't cheated with are raw fish, alcohol (except a baby sip of champagne),and rare beef
Ive eaten:
cold cuts
diet soda
coffee
hot dogs
feta cheese
chocolate (and candy)
and I'm sure more...
And i've dyed my hair, although it was ammonia free dye (natural instincts).

Re: Have you cheated?
Of the three things you listed - cold cuts, hot dogs and tuna - I'm only forbidden to eat the cold cuts - and I haven't (but I'm dying for a bologna sandwich).
I'm basically too paranoid to eat anything I'm strictly forbidden to have.

Re: Have you cheated?
I have but again those foods you listed were not on the list from my dr.
I think everything in moderation is fine.

there is really not that much caffeine in chocolate though - you would have to eat about 5 chocolate bars to equal 1 cup of coffee. My doctor said as long as it is under 300mg a day it is fine. You would have to eat 10 candybard to have 300mgs of caffeine....

Re: Have you cheated?
The only things my doctor said absolutely no to are:
Cold Cuts
Those bad fish (tilefish, swordfish, etc)
and unpasturized cheeses
alcohol (but said I could have a little later on)
So according to my doc, I only cheated once... I had a couple bites of a turkey sandwich. I do try to heat up cold cuts before I eat them. But I stay away from bologna, salami, pepperoni, etc.

Re: Have you cheated?
I don't consider anything you listed as forbidden as I sit here eating my tuna fish sandwich. I eat cold cuts, tuna fish (canned) and hot dogs throughout both my pregnancies just in moderation.
Honestly - my dr says everything in moderation he said there were very few things he can think that people can say are good for you. He can even say things negative about fruit and veggies.
The only things I consider forbidden are high mercury fishes, unpastuerized cheese, raw meats/fishes, and alcohol - pretty much that's about it (don't drink coffee or tea or soda or smoke so never thought about those).

I do have to say in the very beginning I did feel guilty

Re: Have you cheated?
the only thing my doctor totally forbid was sushi and I haven't had any.
I had a few sips of hubby's beer here and there.

Re: Have you cheated?
I have pepperoni on my pizza because the way I see it, it's cooked so anything bad in it is killed. And I have either a half cup or one cup of coffee a day.
There is nothing bad about chocolate and no one can convince me otherwise!
I don't eat most of the fish on the forbidden list so that's not an issue. I think (hope) I'm doing okay so far.

Re: Have you cheated?
With my daughter I ate cold cuts (mostly turkey/chicken, not bologna), ate canned tuna, drank 2 cups of coffee a day, and since I was pregnant through the summer had a yummy bbq'd hotdog now and then. Even my doctor said it was fine in moderation.
I plan to do the same this pregnancy and have already caved in to a few bites of my daughter's hotdog and a turkey sandwich.

Re: Have you cheated?
Probably the only thing I dont do is anything raw...clams on the half shell, raw seafood, carpaccio...
Everything else is pretty much moderation...
Wine only for a special occassion and then only one glass.
In fact today I have had...a turkey sandwich and half a hotdog!!!!!!!
