what will u follow..

i feel like every single preggo person i talk 2 has a diff list of what they can and cannot eat when they r preggo?

are u following the strict list?

whats on ur not eat diet?

i love diet soda and my one friend says u can have 2 a day and another said no way to any kind of soda,diet snapple ice tea etc..she said water and sprite?

Re: what will u follow..

I believe everything in moderation...that is what I followed with DD and will do the same with the next DC. One thing I won't eat though is sushi, unless it's like tempura rolls.

Re: what will u follow..

I will listen to what my doctor says but may allow myself to have some things on occassion...like a tiny caffeine or feta cheese from time to time will be okay

Re: what will u follow..

Whatever my doctor tells me I will follow.

But I agree with the sushi, none for me until I am not pregnant anymore.

Re: what will u follow..

I have no experience with this myself so i think i will just do whatever my doc tells me... and like most of you said... i will have the few things that i want in moderation..

I hate sushi so that wont be a problem for me... and i rarely eat fish... Shrimp is the only fish i eat regularly... (i think im gonna do that tonight now that i mention it!! LOL)

Re: what will u follow..

Everything I have read even says that a glass of wine is fine.

Im gonna talk to my doc, if/when im PG and see what they say.

I was shocked when I read you should not eat cold cuts.

Cold cuts??????????

I will give up alcohol completely. I won't drink diet soda but I will allow myself a regular coke every now and again. Everything else will be in moderation.

Re: what will u follow..

hmmm, I'll cut back on my sweet n low addiction and I eat very healthy otherwise.

Re: what will u follow..

You really have to do what's good for you. Of course there's the obvious.. no drinking, smoking, etc. . limited caffeine.. seafood

For other things though, it really depends on how cautious you want to be. When I was pregnant I completely avoided artificial sweeteners. There are people who don't completely avoid it and their babies are FINE! .. Some people choose to do things in moderation.. others totally avoid it.. I would discuss it with your doctor and figure out what works.

I had one doctor who told me to avoid cold cuts and soft cheeses- another who said it's fine. Since losing my last pregnant late in the game, I will probably be a NUT next time around! (but the reason my pregnancy ended had nothing to do with consuming the wrong foods and was completely unavoidable)

Re: what will u follow..

I love diet soda too and i did heard that you can have it once a day...

altho after the chemical DH is a nut and doesnt want me to have anything i wont be able to eat while im prego cuz he says i gotta get my body ready!

so no diet soda for me! i try to drink a lot of water cuz i will prob gain 20lb just from drinking drinks with calories now!

i heard anything with aspartame is no good, this is what my friend told me! so basically even my yoplait light has that in it so ive switched to organic yogurt now! which is not as yummy as my yoplait!!!

as nuts as it sounds tho, after going thru what i went thru, i dont wanna take any chances that something bad with happen again!

Re: what will u follow..

Like you ladies said...I'll listen to the doctor and everything in moderation. I'm going to miss my fresh mozzarella!

Re: what will u follow..

whatever the doctor suggests!

Re: what will u follow..

Re: what will u follow..

This is just me, but ...

No alcohol,sushi, cold cuts (does this include deli cheese???), blue cheese, feta cheese, diet soda, fresh tuna, pepperoni, hot dogs (never eaten one)
Try to limit caffeine as much as possible

Re: what will u follow..

When I as pregnant I had diet soda, the occasional cold cut sandwich, and even a hot dog here and there. Truthfully, everything in moderation. My OB wasn't super strict with too much so I didn't really sweat every little thing I put in my mouth. When I was sick I used nose spray and I was allowed to take plain Sudafed and in the end...........my DD was born happy and healthy.
