Being told what I can/can't eat

Ugh, this pissed me off last night!  We told some of our friends (DH softball buddy & his wife) that we were expecting.  They were very happy for us and then the wife says: "Well, I guess I won't be asking you if you guys want to go out to dinner with us tomorrow night like I planned to."

Me: looking confused "Why is that?"
Wife: "Because we were going out for sushi and you can't eat it since you are pregnant."
Me: "Umm...yes I can.
She then proceeded to argue with me that I can't eat raw fish.  I personally do not like the raw stuff and the place were we go also has hibachi and tempura platters.

I love how she thinks she gets to decide what I can and can't eat while PG.  I can't wait for the next 9 months with her.  I am sure she is going to make some comment about me being in a bar/restaurant after the men's softball game one week and how I shouldn't do that either.

    Ahh I love people who do this. DH used to be a culprit but then I just told him to shut it and he doesn't really comment much anymore. lol And I love how everyone just thinks all sushi is raw. Because I've been craving it lately, I hope you guys go out to the restaurant anyway.

    sushi and sashimi are raw, so technically she is correct, you can't eat sushi.  however, you can eat the cooked stuff.  I don't know a single sushi place that doesn't offer cooked things.

    I know how you feel.  The one coworker I told gave me a lecture this morning regarding packing snacks to eat during the day.  She also told me I had to eat a full breakfast and a midmorning snack and a small lunch and on and on or I would feel horrible.  She's also the one who gives me a dirty look when she sees me having my morning coffee.  (i've cut it down to a 1/2 cup instead of 4) I told her I am not her and that my pregnancy is not the same as hers and she needs to lay off.

    She was like...yeah whatever....you'll see...UGHHH!  Feel your pain.

    I am sure DH and I will go there for dinner one night but not with her.  I don't need her commentary over everything I eat.

    Sashimi, yes...but there are at least a few vegetarian-type sushi rolls, and the ones that use artificial crabmeat it's basically just precooked whitefish that's been shaped and colored to look like crab.

    Regardless, it's OP's job to worry about what she is and isn't eating, not the rest of the world's, and from the stories I've heard on these boards, too many people seem to forget that.

    OMG, I know how you feel. Everyone thinks they are going to be my peer advisor right now because this is my first pregnancy. They all look at me funny when I tell them I researched pregancy for more than a year in my Psych minor, and don't understand how I can be so calm and comfortable through this whole thing. My aunt told me to stop drinking coffee and start drinking red wine...wtf? I could have sworn I got pregnant with my husband, and will be talking over with him and doc. how I handle this pregnancy thanks very much!

    Oh!  One more thing...I've really been craving sushi lately, so I asked my nurse about the guidelines, and she said not to eat anything with seaweed either since it's raw.  Idk if you'd heard that or not, but just thought I'd throw it out there :)

    I would tell her - my body, I'll decide what I'm going to eat.

    My OB told me sushi was perfectly fine - she even said she ate it twice a week while she was pregnant herself.  You just have to make sure you're eating it from a place you trust and watch your mercury intake.
