Anyone had lox while pregnant?

While pregnant? It sounds so good to me, on a bagel w/ cream cheese and tomato...I had never had this until a few years ago (I'm a shiksa LOL) but I love it! I was thinking of having but don't know if its worth the guilt...

I haven't.  But I have eaten lunchmeat, hotdogs and I drink caffeine.

Technically it's smoked (cooked) so it should be ok, but smoked foods are on most "don't" lists.  If you're going to feel guilty about it, skip it though.  I ate a phili sushi roll (smoked salmon) last week and it was sooo good and worth it!

I have not, but I would.  I LOVE lox!

Thanks for weighing in ladies, i'm gonna think about it some more

No, but I really want it.  I've had lunchmeat and caffeine, but the salmon is cold smoked, so I figure it will be one of those things I can have after baby arrives.

Yummy!!!  Now I want some.  Can I substitute the tomato with capers, please?

I had a few bites of lox soon after finding out I was pregnant, but before discovering it was a no-no.  I guess it's like lunchmeat - take the risk if you want, all in moderation, blah blah blah...

Not yet but I will. I've also enjoyed hot dogs, lunch meat and some cake batter licks

I also eat lunchmeat, ceasar salad, hot dogs (well, turkey dogs), and cooked sushi (the only kind I really like), but I haven't had the occasion to have lox yet.

If you are worried, just heat it up first (not as good, though)?

Actually technically it's not cooked, it's raw.  I avoided it during my first pregnancy, but I guess I have just been weak this pregnancy, I have eaten it quite a few times.   MMMMMM

yes, I'm going to pregnancy hell. I eat LOTS of no-no stuff. I don't eat a lot of it, but I do indulge in caffeine, turkey sandwiches, sushi (occassionally raw) and a glass of wine every now and again.

My kid only has 10 fingers and toes so far ;-)

I've had lox AND sushi a couple times. Yum!

achase123

Yes, I ate it in sushi-it's yummy!

I would be cautious about eating lox. The reason doctors recommend staying away from raw foods is the chance of getting a bacterial infection. Even sushi that isn't raw is prepared on the same cutting board as the raw fish. I had a friend who ate the California rolls and got severe diarrhea while she was pregnant. In my opinion it isn't worth the risk.
