Now all I want is a bagel with cream cheese, lox, and capers.</p> <p>I am going to miss over-easy eggs most of all. I work from home, and have runny eggs a few times a week for lunch :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken/page/2#post-149778 Sun, 06 May 2012 14:27:35 +0000 winniebee 149778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate a few pieces of proschuitto on a salad...also had a small glass of champagne on my babymoon and have had the occasional sip of my husbands beer. I drink a daily cup of coffee but it's not exactly banned so I don't count that because I drink within the allowable limits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken/page/2#post-149770 Sun, 06 May 2012 14:12:07 +0000 kml636 149770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday I had a grande frappucchino... Meant to get decaf but I didn't even realize it until I had finished it! I just got the book "panic free pregnancy" and in it he says you really don not have to worry about caffeine, sushi, etc in small amounts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken/page/2#post-149407 Sat, 05 May 2012 21:29:06 +0000 Kemma 149407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FYI - the risk with Sushi is actually more the rice rather than the meat, raw fish etc. Rice can be pretty notorious for carrying bacteria such as Bacillus cereus which can leave you with nasty food poisoning!</p> <p>I've eaten chicken and bacon sandwiches from Subway (with the meat heated really well), runny-ish eggs and far too much uncooked cake batter and cookie dough. I've also indulged in the occasional soft serve or milkshake but usually only from McDonald's or Wendy's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken/page/2#post-148917 Fri, 04 May 2012 21:29:48 +0000 HLK208 148917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been bad with fro-yo...umm I've probably had it 10 times! But the last time I went in, the cashier said she see's a ton of pregnant women in the shop so I know it's not just me ;)</p> <p>I've had deli meat and California rolls a few times too. Blue cheese twice and Brie once...oops :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken/page/2#post-148677 Fri, 04 May 2012 17:57:23 +0000 MsLipGloss 148677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>soft serve (DQ Blizzard), medium rare filet, diet coke, and crystal light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken/page/2#post-148634 Fri, 04 May 2012 16:53:27 +0000 cyneswith 148634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sushi, only from places I trust and only low-mercury content fish. Lunch meat - only from my own fridge. And I take a sip of my husband's beer when he gets one. I also ate a hot dog. It was SOOOO good! And corn dogs were my first pregnancy craving.</p> <p>ETA: I was SO glad to see that my hot dog and ice cream place has mostly non-soft-serve ice cream. Meaning that when I do have a hot dog craving I can run and get a hot dog and a waffle cone. Score! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken/page/2#post-148597 Fri, 04 May 2012 16:20:36 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 148597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Minnie_Girl: wow, you sound like me!<br /> I have basically eaten everything they say you are not supposed to eat, except for raw sushi.<br /> I even have had a couple glasses of wine/beer (not at once, of course).<br /> I don't think I could go a full 10 months without soft serve or a delicious deli sub from my favorite sandwich place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken/page/2#post-148554 Fri, 04 May 2012 15:27:53 +0000 knittingmama 148554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor said deli meats (even proscuitto) was okay—she said the issue was nitrates, not listeria, so as long as you had two servings or less per week, you were okay. I've also had soft cheeses and runny eggs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken/page/2#post-148545 Fri, 04 May 2012 15:20:30 +0000 Arden 148545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on having veggie sushi (I'm vegetarian so that's what I eat anyway) and the occasional coffee (maybe half-caff) just because they make me so happy and they aren't THAT bad in moderation. Alcohol, fish and lunch meat are already a non-issue. Soft serve is sad, but I think I can live 9 months without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken/page/2#post-148491 Fri, 04 May 2012 14:56:08 +0000 Running Elley 148491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Haha we would be the best at sharing!!! I used to love normal lemonade pre-preg so I'm hoping that aversion passes. I will pick up some raspberry next time I'm at the store and report back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148486 Fri, 04 May 2012 14:50:29 +0000 mrs. wagon 148486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: I'm not big into the teas either, or orange... we should totally share those multi-packs. :D If you haven't tried the raspberry lemonade you definitely should-- that's my current fave! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148475 Fri, 04 May 2012 14:41:00 +0000 Running Elley 148475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I go through phases :) When I first got PG I'd use lemonade or fruit punch to take all of my pills and I completely killed them for myself so now I can't stomach it! Right now I'm stuck on peach tea (sooooo good) and sunrise classic orange! I'll have to try pink lemonade, I bet I could get on board with that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148470 Fri, 04 May 2012 14:38:32 +0000 mrs. wagon 148470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: what are your go-to flavors?? I love all the lemonades (raspberry, pink, and regular) and fruit punch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148468 Fri, 04 May 2012 14:37:43 +0000 SleepyMonkey 148468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love sandwiches so I have eaten turkey and ham deli meats a number of times without heating it up first. I also have a cup of tea a few times a week (decaf on the other days, but it tastes like crap). I also have a lot of splenda and crystal lite daily =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148461 Fri, 04 May 2012 14:33:23 +0000 Running Elley 148461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Oh gosh me too. Plain water just is gross to me right now so Crystal Light it is and lots of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148458 Fri, 04 May 2012 14:32:14 +0000 mrs. wagon 148458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I ingest a LOT of artificial sweeteners. I'm totally addicted to diet coke and crystal light. I guess my kids will be a good indication whether it's actually bad for babies or not..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148457 Fri, 04 May 2012 14:32:02 +0000 hellobeeboston 148457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None so far. Only 15 weeks though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148448 Fri, 04 May 2012 14:27:15 +0000 lemondrop 148448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of those and them some you didn't list. Especially sushi, I ate tons of it- we joke that our son is about 90% sushi. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148368 Fri, 04 May 2012 13:34:07 +0000 meredithNYC 148368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think pretty much all of them, bar sushi. I was very careful during the first trimester, though, and didn't break any of the rules then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148315 Fri, 04 May 2012 13:02:46 +0000 theknest 148315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh and a soda every other day or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148313 Fri, 04 May 2012 13:02:09 +0000 theknest 148313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know about deli-meants/soft-serve ice cream until after I had the baby - so there was that. I colored my hair, used certain topical acne creams, and had the occasional tuna sandwich. Glad I wasn't the only "rebel" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148306 Fri, 04 May 2012 12:57:16 +0000 Running Elley 148306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat deli meat A LOT because for some reason subs and sandwiches just sound soooooo good to me right now. I've also eaten frozen yogurt the whole time and caffeinated beverages occasionally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148303 Fri, 04 May 2012 12:54:11 +0000 LuLu Mom 148303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Deli meat and soft serve ice cream, however I got the okay from my doctor on both so I don't feel like I'm "cheating" really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148283 Fri, 04 May 2012 12:43:37 +0000 ktgee04 148283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've broken a few. Definitely the lunch meat thing but I do try and microwave it at home OR request it's toasted if it's from Subway or something. I have also done soft cheeses, sips of beer, half a glass of wine and sushi. Everything in moderation though. I'm not a picky eater so I figured there's no real reason I should break the rules TOO often! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148273 Fri, 04 May 2012 12:40:09 +0000 chopsuey 148273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Soft serve, froyo, sushi. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148262 Fri, 04 May 2012 12:33:34 +0000 emahlee 148262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I broke all of them as well. Had sushi, soft cheeses, deli meat, soft serve, wine etc. The only things I haven't had are raw oysters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148219 Fri, 04 May 2012 12:09:39 +0000 marley 148219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All after the 1st trimester: I had sushi (salmon only, not tuna because of the mercury levels), half a beer, glass of white wine spritzer, a bite of a smoked salmon tea sandwich, medium rare steak, soft cheese.</p> <p>I really really really want some raw oysters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148212 Fri, 04 May 2012 12:04:54 +0000 mrsjyw 148212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I've broken any, I've eaten cooked sushi rolls once, and I occasionally have a half cup of coffee. But this is my first pregnancy and I'm just a couple of weeks shy of the first trimester so I'm playing it safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-pregnancy-food-rules-have-you-broken#post-148203 Fri, 04 May 2012 12:01:21 +0000 ALittleP 148203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I break them all the time - but shhhhh, don't tell my husband :)</p> <p>I eat sushi (only California rolls and vegetarian rolls though), soft cheese (as long as it is pasteurized), and I regularly eat deli sandwiches that I make at home after heating the deli meat to steaming in the microwave. Oh, and I'll have a sip of wine from my hubby every once in a while.</p> <p>I did not break any of the rules in the first trimester though. I waited until I got into my second to be safer. </p>
