lets be honest girls....
Who here has given in and had a steak medium instead of getting hockey puck?
I know I can't be the only 1! I was good up until about week 17 when we went away to all inclusive..then I had 2 nights where had a medium steak and then when came home had a medium steak from outback!
I may go to Morton's this weekend as have gift card and do the same again!
After this time going to try to avoid for few months again since got craving out of way..
Oh and I should confess also had a ham and cheddar pannini today...it was grilled and warm but dont think it was 100% cooked to 160 degrees or whatever recommendation is ...
I figure I wont die if break few rules!
Always get hamburgers done well though..figure more risky

me too
i can't live my life being so worried about something that wasn't even a 'rule' until a few years ago. I try to be mindful and be careful but i still eat my eggs over easy, hamburgers and steak medium (i don't like rare anyway) etc
its a personal choice we all have to make for ourselves - i understand if some women aren't comfortable with it, but i am

Re: lets be honest girls....
I eat my steak medium all the time. I used to have it medium rare so medium is a stretch for me. I think as long as it's not blood you are fine. There is no way I'd be able to eat a well done steak. Once a steak reaches a certain temperature all of the bacteria is cooked out and I could be wrong but I think it reaches that temperature after medium rare.

Re: lets be honest girls....
I've had soda.
Ive had Crystal Lite.
I've had steaks medium rare.
I've had cold colds.
I've had two glasses of wine in 20 weeks.
I've used bug spray with Deet in it.
I've accidentally skipped my prenatal vitamin two nights in a row.
I'm probably going to be putting my child in a hand me down crib that has drop side rails (just need to check it wasn't recalled for other reasons).
The day my Doctor told me I can take an Ambien if I REALLY needed to I realized holy crap, if I can take that, I'm having a wine. He chuckled and said ok. Didn't need the Ambien.

So far I have:
- Had tuna a few times since my BFP.
- Had a small regular coke 
- Eaten meat that is medium (I can't stomach the thought of well-done)

Re: lets be honest girls....
This thread made me smile!
I am a newbie (only 6w) but when I read up on what you can and can't have it makes my head spin!
I am also a mid-rare kind of girl and moved to medium.
I drink A LOT of coffee. Now I have cut back to once a day and have my latte decaf or half-caf.
I never drink soda any how, but I do drink crystal light at home all the time. When I read up on how bad the artifical sweetners are yesterday, I decided to cut back on that and find some alternatives - like maybe an unsweetened tea.

4C makes a diet iced tea that is sweetened with splenda. that has been my savior.

Re: lets be honest girls....
The only thing I have not had AT ALL is raw fish (sushi, oysters). For some reason that makes me nervous--though in Japan they eat raw fish all the time while pregnant--but I digress.
Everything in moderation.
Also I have yet to be at a restaurant that has unpasturized cheese, I ask every time and it is always pasturized.
If I want a turkey sandwich here or there I have it. If I want a half a glass of wine, I have it. As my doctor said "if it isn't bad for me, it isn't bad for my baby".

Re: lets be honest girls....
Medium? Try medium rare. If I'm having a nice streak, like some filet mignon or something, then you better understand I will have it the way I like it! And hamburgers are medium and juicy!!!

Re: lets be honest girls....
I will never ever ever order a steak above medium. HELL NO! I love a nice juicy steak.
So when I was pregnant I enjoyed MANY steaks and had no issues with it at all.

I will look into that. Thanks for the suggestion!

Re: lets be honest girls....
I still order my meat and burgers medium. I eat cold cuts, hot dogs and drink coffee. I have also have diet ginger ale or diet orange soda every once in a while.
Everything in moderation but I did the above with DS#1 and doing it now.

I am not PG *yet*.
But I was told most everything in moderation is fine.
I plan on having a glass of wine every once and a while. I plan on eating cold cuts every once in a while. I plan on having coffee once a day.

I did this w/ my 1st as well. More so later in pregnancy, but I did eat everything in moderation - tuna, cold cuts, even hot dog and I got cooked sushi once w/ rice paper instead of seaweed.
