Re: what do you consider your "will not eat/drink" items?

nothing, except things I don't normally eat or drink, like sushi (don't like any fish) or crystal light (that garbage is ALL chemicals).

Re: what do you consider your "will not eat/drink" items?

Sushi - Dont eat it even when not pregnant

Cold cuts - eat them when i feel like it, usually heat them up

Hot dogs - have only had a couple of pigs in a blanket so far, will do my best to stay away this summer lol

Sausages - not a big sausgae eater although i have had kielbasa, didnt know sausage was questionable

soft cheeses - avoid unpasteurized. if it's pasterurized, i'll eat it.

wine - dont drink

fish - Dont eat fish. Eat tuna in moderation

bacon - Eat in moderation

caffeine - 1 cup mon-fri

steaks that arent well done - I eat them medium but not that often

Re: what do you consider your "will not eat/drink" items?

sushi-didn't eat before
cold cuts-only if they are warmed up
hotdogs/brats/sausages-I rarely ate them before PG, but there not off limit to me, just in moderation
soft cheeses-only pasturized, and I eat a ton of cheese!
wine-I didn't drank much before but a glass isn't off limits to me
fish-I've eaten it and I will continue to, but in moderation
bacon-I will eat it but in moderation
caffeine-I limit myself to one cup a day
steaks that aren't well done-will only eat well done but before PG I ate them med-rare

I'm actually much more nuts about avoiding sugar subs then anything else. no truvia etc. that stuff IMO is terrible for you not PG so I would never have any of it

Re: what do you consider your "will not eat/drink" items?

I just want to add to the discussion that fish/seafood is recommended during pregnancy. It is NOT a no-no. There are certainly a few types of fish you should have very sparingly or not at all, but overall, fish is very good for pregnant women provided that it is cooked thoroughly and not eaten every day.

Please see this link for more info - I am a big fish eater and have used this for reference the entire pregnancy.

Fish - how often and which kind
