Also ate deli meat, as my OB okayed it since there's such a small chance re: listeria. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-848364 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:37:41 +0000 heffalump 848364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCB: I guess my mom knows I'm weird.... she planned the meal herself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-848352 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:34:03 +0000 ShootingStar 848352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: LOL, I was just wondering if my parents would think it was weird if I asked them for brie along with a bagel and lox. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-848342 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:32:15 +0000 heffalump 848342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCB: My mom also brought over soft cheeses that I love :) I'm totally going to make her do it again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-848308 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:27:17 +0000 ShootingStar 848308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: That sounds so yummy right now. I eat deli meats, but I haven't eaten lox, and can't eat bagels due to GD. Maybe I'll have my parents do the same thing, since DH wouldn't have a clue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-848299 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:25:59 +0000 SugarplumsMom 848299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate lox while pregnant. Its not an issue here as long as its not past the expiration date. Sushi, I didn't have since I don't trust most places. But if I was back home in CA, it would be the opposite. Id trust the sushi, but not the lox. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-848241 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:09:56 +0000 mrsmate 848241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Smoked salmon is fine if cooked (like in a quiche or an omelet). Normally I love it but it sounds soooo unappetizing right now.</p> <p>I am 11+1 today, and I've had two Italian subs in the past two weeks from reputable delis, thinking what's the harm? The meat and cheese were freshly sliced, too. But then my sister reminded me she had food poisoning at 32w from a turkey sandwich, which required two nights in the hospital. In the end she was fine but no more deli meat for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-847853 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 12:48:58 +0000 MamaBehr 847853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that sounds delicious.... but I guess it'll be January before we can eat it..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-847839 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 12:46:54 +0000 heffalump 847839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's my favorite thing. But my doctors said no. After I gave birth my mom brought bagels and lox brunch to me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-847729 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 12:24:24 +0000 lavender 847729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would occasionally have a bagel with cream cheese and lox. LIke the motto, everything in moderation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-847715 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 12:21:03 +0000 honeybear 847715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, the listeria risk is the problem with smoked salmon. There have been some recalls due to listeria lately (FDA does free emails re: recalls). Is cooked salmon an option? Our local spot does a non-smoked, cooked salmon roll that I get for LO. It's an acceptable substitute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-847604 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:55:25 +0000 aprk 847604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: I think for things like lunch meat and smoked fish that you have to go with your gut - haha - and make sure you are eating from a clean place you trust. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-847602 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:54:44 +0000 heartonastring 847602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate it all the time. I thought the risk was way too infinitesimal to worry about. Then again, I wasn't interested in following most of the pregnancy "rules" (nor were any of them, other than not smoking or drinking, and limiting caffeine, touted as rules by any of my prenatal care providers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-847596 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:52:14 +0000 MrsH 847596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: ha, I can't bring myself to eat cold lunch meat but smoked salmon doesn't seem so bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-847595 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:52:06 +0000 regberadaisy 847595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting...I did not know that bc my DH makes smoked salmon! No listeria concerns! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-847591 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:51:23 +0000 mrsjyw 847591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I skipped it while preggo... although I was lax about other "no"s (ie. coffee, deli meat (heated), etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-847584 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:49:51 +0000 aprk 847584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Smoked salmon was the only "no-no" that I didn't eat while pregnant (well, and all sushi, but that's because I rarely have it anyway, but I looove lox) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-847575 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:47:06 +0000 shopaholic 847575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried to avoid it originally but I love this smoked salmon crepe at a place I frequent. I just told them to cook the smoked salmon very well and went with that. I never ate the uncooked smoked salmon though while preggers. I did have a bite or two of raw tuna at some fancy restaurants during our babymoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-847574 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:47:01 +0000 plantains 847574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I skipped it while I was preggo but next time I might partake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-847570 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:46:07 +0000 Rubies 847570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am dying for smoked salmon but like deli meats, I've been told that they are off limits. SIGH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/smoked-salmon-while-preggers#post-847562 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 11:43:30 +0000 MrsH 847562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I opted for veggie sushi today but really wanted a smoked salmon roll. There seems to be conflicting information on the interwebs about whether smoked salmon is ok or not. I think the main concern is listeria?</p> <p>(For those who care I live in the Midwest so while I do eat raw fish at this suhi place I probably won't partake while preggers because I know the fish isn't super fresh).</p> <p>What are your thoughts? </p>
