My OB has an orientation when you first find out your pregnant. A midwife tells you all about pregnancy and childbirth, including the dos and dont's of eating. The thing that made me the most upset was no smoked fish. I love lox! My mom brought over bagels and lox the second I got home from the hospital.
I also missed fish spread (it has smoked fish in it), runny eggs, and soft cheese. I'm eating my fill of it all now before I decide to get pregnant again!

I missed eggs benedict and sushi. I don't know how many times I have husband the evil eye for eating these things while I was pregnant 
But surprisingly, after I gave birth and could have these again, I didn't care to have them.

alcohol, oysters, deli meat, runny eggs, soft serve yogurt/ice cream. and yep after you have the baby, you could care less about them! you always want what you can't have.

Sushi and alcohol. I don't even eat sushi much, but it just sounds so good! And I cook a lot with wine and beer... it would be nice to have a glass while I cook.

Definitely sushi. Though my doctor said I can have it occasionally, but I still stayed away from it for the most part. I had it maybe once or twice.

Wine. I haven't really given up anything else (after researching the risks I feel ok with eating sushi, smoked fish, soft serve, deli meat, and soft cheeses). But I miss having a big glass of wine at the end of the day. I do sometimes have a half glass, but it's almost worse to just get the tiny taste and know I shouldn't have more!

I ate everything while pregnant so didn't have a chance to miss anything.

Just alcohol really (mostly, red wine). Everything else I'm eating in moderation. Agree with @MamaBolt - having a half glass here and there isn't the same, it just makes me want more!

@artbee: I think you can have soft cheese, as long as it's been made with pasteurized milk! Er, if not, someone please tell me now as I've been eating brie & crackers every afternoon!
I miss runny eggs, margaritas, oysters, and sushi. I'll eat rolls here and there but I can't wait to be able to go to a sushi place and have uni, ikura, and just real nigiri without feeling guilty/worrying!

@betsyboop: Usually when there was brie it was at a party so I didn't get to see the packaging. I know most cheeses are made with pasteurized milk, but I didn't want to take that chance. Yum... brie!

Sometimes I miss alcohol, but mostly I miss runny eggs and cheeses.

Wine and sushi. I literally salivate when I see people drinking red wine! I like to joke with my husband that as soon as the baby is out, my first hospital meal would be sushi and red wine

Margaritas- other than that I really didn't avoid anything else, everything else in moderation, including the occasional small glass of wine or sampler of beer.

Definitely alcohol! Margaritas, bellinis... I sound like an alcoholic! LOL I'm not really.

Alcohol is the hardest, I enjoy having a glass of wine with my husabnd, or a beer at dinner with friends. Nothing else is that hard for me, besides maybe deli meats. I do eat these in moderation with doc's permission.

Before I got pregnant I was eating a cold turkey sandwich everyday....I would kill for one right now!

Definitely raw fish. We're been out to sushi a few times, and I've ordered cooked rolls to make myself feel better; but I miss the raw fish.
Also, cheese. I *love* cheese, but I've developed a serious aversion to all kinds of cheese with this pregnancy and can't stand the thought of anything cheesy. It makes me sad.

I miss medium rare meats!! and runny eggs and raw seafood. There seems to be nothing left to eat these days.

Deli meat was the worst for me which is totally bizarre since it wasn't like I had a sandwich alot before I was pregnant. I had a turkey sandwich as my first meal after my daughter was born and ate one every day for almost 2 months after! Insane!

@Cchoi4: snap! Was going to say exactly the same thing! Eggs benedict seems to be comprised soley of things pregnant ladies can't have!

I have never had sushi in my life! Maybe I should change that after LO is born. I didn't really eat much of the "do not eat" things before pregnancy...I did have a glass of wine occasionally but nothing to miss too much.

I just found out that I'm pregnant a few days ago so it hasn't been too bad, but DH and I were supposed to go get sushi this weekend but we got our BFP before so we couldn't go and I was disappointed
