It sounds like you're feeling fine and he knows now you can't eat raw eggs. It really is hard for them to get all of this stuff straight - obviously they care and want the best for us and the babies, but it is hard enough for us to remember all the food 'rules!' My husband forgets and asks me if I want a glass of wine, but then tells me I shouldn't eat too much chocolate because of the caffeine lol. </p> <p>Also, I am a vegetarian too, and I had the best luck finding better, natural protein powders at the health food store. There are a a few options now with no artificial flavors and sweeteners that I think taste just fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-393327 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 13:38:36 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 393327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: I know... I feel bad too :( </p> <p>I just talked with him and he seems good, so I'll make sure later tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-393318 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 13:36:07 +0000 mamimami 393318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know this is not the topic really but I feel SO BAD for your husband now :( I am sure he feels awful. Men can feel so clueless and left out during pregnancy and parenting so if I were you, assuming you're still fine, I would give him some extra TLC so he doesn't start feeling like a total incompetent this early in the game! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-393264 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 13:13:53 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 393264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha I sent him this thread so that he knows I'm not just going crazy, and I think he's got his tail between his legs now. I know it was just an honest mistake (that he thought was just a clever ploy)..</p> <p>I'm appreciative of all these protein ideas! I always forget about hummus, but I love it and should eat more of it to get more protein. Also, peanut butter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-393255 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 13:11:32 +0000 Mrsbells 393255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lovejoy: Oh I see.. beans and peas have protein too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-393225 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 12:57:55 +0000 Arden 393225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't understand why. There are so many other things you can do for protein. What about adding yogurt? Silken tofu? </p> <p>What I did a lot in the first tri was roasted chickpeas. I would toss them with a little olive oil and spices, then spread them on a cookie sheet and toast them until crunchy. Very high protein, healthy snack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-393210 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 12:46:15 +0000 birdofafeather 393210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't like that he didn't tell you at all. sounds like he knows it was a bad call and there are definitely better ways to get protein in! i don't even eat raw eggs when not pregnant. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-393152 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 11:54:34 +0000 sarac 393152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, that's not cool. I'd be really mad too. His heart was in the right place, but that's just a rude violation of your trust.</p> <p>But, if you didn't mind the taste, you CAN buy pasturized eggs at most grocery stores. They're a fantastic source of protein, so if you'd drink it again, I'd go for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-393144 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 11:50:44 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 393144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lovejoy: It took about 12 hours. Ohmigosh it was the worst thing I ever had! I threw up at home constantly for about 18 hours and then we went into the hospital for fluids and zofran. I wish that on no one! I was so stupid, but the cookie dough was so delicious that I couldn't help myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-393097 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 11:36:22 +0000 immabeetoo 393097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrslovejoy boo I would be really irritated too! Do you like peanut butter? That has been my protein go to, and it can be tasty in smoothies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-393081 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 11:33:18 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 393081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Oh no! Did it hit you right away, or did it happen later? I'm feeling fine and its been a few hours, so I'm hoping I'm in the clear. </p> <p>No raw cookie dough for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-393065 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 11:27:25 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 393065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate raw cookie dough in my pregnancy and was one of those unlucky ones who ended up with salmonella. You should be fine at this point ( I think the risk is like 1:20,000 eggs), but still I wouldn't make it part of your routine :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-393022 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 11:05:07 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 393022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww - I would be pissed but at the same time, I think it's sweet that your hubby was concerned about making sure you had enough protein. He just needs to find a different way of getting it to you ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-393019 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 11:02:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 393019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like everyone said, I'm sure you are fine, but I wouldn't do it again. I just wanted to jump in and say that when I was little, my mom used to make us milkshakes with raw egg in them, for the extra protein. Obviously, none of use kids were pregnant, but it used to be a sort of normal thing to do. Then they came out and said raw eggs were bad (my mom was very likely a little behind on that one anyway) so she stopped doing it, or would get the pastuerized egg beater type things. It sounds totally gross to me now, but we sure loved them when we were little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-392988 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 10:50:50 +0000 blackbird 392988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's a huge deal now that it's said and done, but nobody likes surprises! And he definitely should've mentioned what was in his protein shake. </p> <p>My favorite protein powder is by Optimum Nutrition. I buy it on Amazon for half the price of GNC. It mixes well without that weird aftertaste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-392972 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 10:40:38 +0000 tororojo 392972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be pissed! Even if it's just a precaution, you should have a say in what you eat or don't eat. If you buy pasteurized eggs in the future with the purpose of eating them raw, you should be fine. I think most eggs you get from the grocery store are unpasteurized. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-392960 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 10:32:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 392960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know he meant well, but I'd be mad too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-392928 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 10:18:00 +0000 wheres_c 392928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm vegetarian too and had major food aversions during the first tri. I think I lived on potatoes and bread. 0 protein.<br /> Just some reassurance that for me, the aversions lifted in second tri and I actually started craving protein somewhat. I was able to eat eggs, tofu, and beans and felt better about my protein intake.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-392908 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 10:05:28 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 392908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I've been really turned off by eggs lately, so I haven't been eating them like I used to. My aversion seem to be lifting though, so hopefully I'll start eating them cooked again! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-392898 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 10:00:52 +0000 Mrsbells 392898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lovejoy: I don't understand why he put raw eggs in there. If you need eggs you could always eat them cooked right?</p> <p>I think its important to be really careful with raw eggs while pregnant. I know a lot of people do it and get away with it, but rather be safe than sorry </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-392889 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:56:19 +0000 jedeve 392889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww poor guy. Sounds like he tried! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-392873 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:46:20 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 392873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Yeah, I wasn't a happy camper, in the least bit. But, I know that deep down he was genuinely trying to care for me and LO and he literally never lies, so I'm letting this pass. Lets just say he knows not to cross me like this again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-392866 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:43:51 +0000 Mrs.B 392866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also had raw cookie dough multiple times and I was fine. I'm sure you are ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-392862 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:41:43 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 392862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks guys :). </p> <p>@mrs. bird: I'm not sure if they were pasteurized. They were from a regular grocery store, so if that's standard, then yes. </p> <p>@littlebug: I'll have to try out GNC! We were at Trader Joes, where I shouldn't have expected them to have a wide selection.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-392861 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:41:27 +0000 prettylizy 392861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had raw and runny eggs often during pregnancy and beyond. The 'runny eggs' thing to me is another one of those scare monger things that I try not to worry about. What's more important is that you and your little bean are getting a good mix of all the food groups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-392858 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:40:41 +0000 MamaMoose 392858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As the others said I'm sure it's fine and won't hurt the baby... but I would be PISSED. Forget about the risk he put you and your baby at, that kind of deception in a marriage would not be OK with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-392855 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:38:41 +0000 littlebug 392855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure you're fine, but, yeah, I'd probably be mad. I'd make sure he knows not to do it again. FWIW, GNC has pretty yummy protein powder. Hubs drinks a shake every night after he gets home from the gym. He gets their cookies and cream, and it's actually really tasty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-392854 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:36:44 +0000 mrs. bird 392854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww. I'm sorry! Were they pasteurized eggs? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-392853 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:36:37 +0000 hilsy85 392853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate raw cookie batter multiple times during my pregnancy and I Was fine. I'd be pretty annoyed at him though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-dh-should-i-be-worried#post-392849 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:33:34 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 392849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to the midwife last week and she asked how my eating/health has been. I'm a vegetarian, and I told her that I'm likely not getting as much protein as I should be. She said that I could make smoothies in the morning and add protein powder to increase my protein intake. We went to the store yesterday and I couldn't find any powder that looked OK to get (or yummy), so I held off. I bought protein bars, nuts, and other things with protein in them instead. </p> <p>Well, I wake up this morning and DH made me a really delicious looking fruit smoothie. I took a few sips and it tasted like it had protein powder in it so I asked what he put in it (knowing we didn't have protein powder in the house). He names off a few fruits and a juice, and I go along drinking it. I'm almost done, and he tells me he put raw eggs in it! raw eggs! He said he was really worried about it after our appointment so he did it and decided not to tell me (knowing I wouldn't drink it). I was so frustrated I wanted to cry, but he tells me he googled it and its completely safe (even for pregnant woman). Of course by this point, I want to puke. But, maybe he's right? Have you guys had raw eggs in your pregnancy? I'm just nearing the end of my first tri (12W5D). </p>
