What not to eat

in March 2011 Moms

Does anyone else have an Ob that thinks 99% of that is a bunch of bogus non-sense?  When I had my first appointment he said I can eat pretty much absolutely anything I want.  As long as my meat is cooked to atleast med-well and that I eat no raw fish.  His only other no-no was caffine for now, less than 5 servings a week.  It just seems that so many were given lists of no-nos.  And reading posts below about heating lunch meat or not eating macaroni salad??

    Uh...yeah.  My RE, his nurse, and my OB have all said 99% of what's out there is nonsense.

    It's about being sensible.  Logical.  

    And you forgot hotdogs! Stick out tongue

    My nurse clinician just gave me a list of things that they caution I avoid - or at least not eat everyday. She said lunch meat is relatively harmless unless of course it is something you eat everyday (then she suggests to cut back)

    However, within the past couple of years, there has been listeria outbreaks in deli meats. So I have personally decided to cut it out of my diet for now. It's not exactly the healthiest thing to eat anyways!

    Other than that, most of it is just avoid eating too much of certain foods. Eating the occasional piece of big fish (swordfish, etc) isn't going to cause any issues, but if you eat it everyday it could get dangerous.

    What sweetpea said - my doc said be smart - if you wouldn't eat at the place pre pregnancy, don't eat there now. 

    Check the "best by" date - don't eat it if it's close or past.

    Don't eat raw meat/fish

    No alcohol obviously.

    Eww hotdogs.  That's one food I haven't touched in close to 10 years and probably won't.  We watched a documentary on how they're made in my filming/editing class in high school - totally ruined them for me.

    I'm really glad I'm not alone!  I was so happy that I wasn't given restrictions but since he's published I was starting to wonder if maybe he's too "research" minded and that he's out of touch with the rest of the community.

    My OB is similar.  I ate Subway and Jimmy Johns regularly through my pregnancy with my DS and had no problems.  My "What not to eat" this time around is TOO MUCH!  I never lost the final 10 lbs. from DS so I cannot gain as much as I did last time!!

    Yeah, all these no-nos are driving me a little batty.  Every time I mention one around my mom she gives me the side eye.  Even though I know it's not a good reason, I often think all of us survived with our mom's eating lunch meat and soft cheese and whatever.  But, I still am not eating any of eat because now they have gotten in my head, *sigh*
