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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-forbidden-food-item-do-you-indulge-in-the-most/page/2#post-1963837 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 13:51:30 +0000 MsHangry 1963837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink about 8oz of coffee a day. I agree with previous posters about moderation and good food preparation hygiene. </p> <p>Frozen yogurt is something I would have more of if it weren't winter! Haha<br /> I've eaten non-raw sushi. I'm open to having raw sushi in the future though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-forbidden-food-item-do-you-indulge-in-the-most/page/2#post-1960433 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 18:58:55 +0000 MrsTiz 1960433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-forbidden-food-item-do-you-indulge-in-the-most/page/2#post-1960322 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 17:11:02 +0000 mrsbubbletea 1960322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> <p>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. </p> <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-forbidden-food-item-do-you-indulge-in-the-most/page/2#post-1960312 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 17:05:52 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1960312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-forbidden-food-item-do-you-indulge-in-the-most/page/2#post-1960262 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 16:32:47 +0000 caitlanc 1960262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-forbidden-food-item-do-you-indulge-in-the-most/page/2#post-1958065 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 12:44:56 +0000 ineebee 1958065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-forbidden-food-item-do-you-indulge-in-the-most/page/2#post-1958042 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 12:36:22 +0000 swurlygurl 1958042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As soon as I hit 20 weeks I probably drank 'too much' coffee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-forbidden-food-item-do-you-indulge-in-the-most/page/2#post-1958036 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 12:34:17 +0000 LuLu Mom 1958036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-forbidden-food-item-do-you-indulge-in-the-most/page/2#post-1957753 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 10:30:40 +0000 ShootingStar 1957753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-forbidden-food-item-do-you-indulge-in-the-most/page/2#post-1957750 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 10:29:05 +0000 MrsRcCar 1957750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-forbidden-food-item-do-you-indulge-in-the-most/page/2#post-1957630 Mon, 24 Nov 2014 09:38:12 +0000 namaste 1957630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had sushi once at 8 weeks just because I wasn't ready to let go lol nothing else since though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-forbidden-food-item-do-you-indulge-in-the-most/page/2#post-1957277 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 22:33:36 +0000 sarac 1957277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not hesitate to eat any of those, especially the soft serve.

I like to think I'm sticking to the recommended amount, but I wouldn't be surprised if I actually am going over. I just :heart: coffee so much. My doctor gave an occasional glass of alcohol the green light, so while that's ok with him, I know it's considered bad by others.</p> <p>Now that I have gestational diabetes, the "forbidden" list has grown. I went a little wild in a fancy food shop the other day with all their delicious samples. It seemed like no big deal b/c everything was such a small amount, but I know I went past my carb amount. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-forbidden-food-item-do-you-indulge-in-the-most#post-1956779 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 13:51:11 +0000 Reese 1956779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: mmmm excellent!

The package says the milk is pasteurized. Should be fine!

If things are not forbidden in most of the world, or were not forbidden for the first thousand years we've been having babies, I'm not going to stress out over it now.</p> <p>So, I ate pretty much everything pregnant I do non-pregnant: coffee/caffeine, runny eggs, rare steaks, uncooked sushi, red wine, cold deli meat, some unpasteurized cheese (hard to find, not the same as "soft cheese" blanket statement), etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-forbidden-food-item-do-you-indulge-in-the-most#post-1956747 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 13:13:44 +0000 autumn865 1956747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a cup of coffee well within the 200mg of caffine every day. And if it wasn't 30 degrees outside I would have soft serve too! Second pregnancy has made me much more lenient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-forbidden-food-item-do-you-indulge-in-the-most#post-1956710 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 12:12:14 +0000 MrsF 1956710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: sounds like you enjoyed your night out!

Raw fish seems scarier for some reason and I don't really like cheese :/. Last night I had my steak medium rare and had a glass of champagne at a nice dinner.

I did a little research and we we went out for sushi last night. Here's a link that made me feel a lot better about it. Oh, and ask if their fish is previously frozen. Apparently, the flash freezing process kills whatever bacteria or parasites (eww) that *might* be in the fish.</p> <p><a href="http://healthland.time.com/2011/05/05/true-or-false-20-common-myths-about-pregnancy/" rel="nofollow">http://healthland.time.com/2011/05/05/true-or-false-20-common-myths-about-pregnancy/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-forbidden-food-item-do-you-indulge-in-the-most#post-1956603 Sun, 23 Nov 2014 10:18:07 +0000 Reese 1956603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is making me feel better!
