    I would not hesitate to eat any of those, especially the soft serve. I would be careful to note any listeria outbreaks - though. I

    I had sushi once at 8 weeks just because I wasn't ready to let go lol nothing else since though.

    My doctors and I both agreed everything in moderation. Which was hard for me because I had HG with both boys. Coffee (tons more then is "acceptable") was my major vice. This momma was crazy tired.

    I ate lunch meat pretty much every single day. When you have GD you eat what you can. I've never gotten food poisoning from lunch meat and never known anyone who has. I did not eat sushi because DH wasn't comfortable with it. And I did not eat non-pasteurized cheese because my SIL got really really sick with digestive issues from some cheese she had, so it scared me into not eating brie for a while, haha.

    Deli meat (my doc said it is fine, not to be worried), caffeine pop (one a day), and all the soft serve I want (she was not concerned about this either.) I've done sushi, but only do cooked anyway so I don't think that's a big deal.

    As soon as I hit 20 weeks I probably drank 'too much' coffee.

    At the beginning, sushi for sure. It made DH super uncomfortable though, so I've stopped. Now I feel like I'm being pretty good.

    Sushi is definitely my weakness. I just try to stay away from the high mercury risk. I forget lunch meat and soft serve are even on the supposed "no" list most of the time. I definitely eat those. I don't seek it out but I wouldn't avoid soft cheeses (regardless of pasteurization). I am good about alcohol (by my standards). I hold off until the 3rd tri and even then stick to a half glass. (Though I definitely steal sips from DH all the way through.) Oh, and I can do without caffeine so I have decaf tea every morning and half caff when I really need a boost. Although I definitely have had a few cups of full caff just because I really wanted it but I usually only make it through half the cup.

    I'm not as rigorous about asking about cheeses being pasteurized if I'm at a restaurant or party, than I'd intended to be, so I have probably eaten some non-pasteurized cheese. I'm also dying to have sushi. I'm sure I'll cave before long.

    I didn't even know soft serve wasn't allowed! I am 35 weeks, not sure if I have had any, but I sure am craving it now.

    I am loosening up with the rules, I've had deli meat but only from a nice deli, I ate some fancy, soft, and delicious cheese that I purposely didn't ask if it were pasteurized (I know usually it is here in US, but I think it was imported), I've had salami. I always take a sip of my man's drinks! I might ask my OB about a tiny glass of wine now that I am so close.

    I was planning to drink 2 half cups of coffee/day, but I didn't enjoy it again until recently. So I am going for it now! Not more than 1.5 cups per day, I would say. I miss raw fish sushi though, and every time I make cookies I am dying to eat some dough!

    The only forbidden thing on my personal list is alcohol, I didn't have any while pregnant. I don't like most of the "bad" foods, but I def. drank a coke or two everyday!

    I drink about 8oz of coffee a day. I agree with previous posters about moderation and good food preparation hygiene.

    Frozen yogurt is something I would have more of if it weren't winter! Haha
    I've eaten non-raw sushi. I'm open to having raw sushi in the future though.

    @MsHangry: I love your name!

    I indulge in coffee, coca-cola, eggs over medium (a little runny), and steak that's not well-done. I don't have any of it every day, but frequently enough. I also have some sips/small portions of wine or beer once in a while, esp now in the 3rd tri.

    Coffee, non-raw sushi, wine after the first tri, deli meat, runny egg, rare steak.

    I don't eat soft serve because it doesn't agree with me, not because I'm pregnant.

    Coffee.. I didn't know soft serve was bad. I ate plenty of that over the summer!
