How closely are you going to following the "Don't"s?

Question

For example, were only supposed to eat 12 oz of fish a week, not supposed to eat deli meat, frozen yogurt, etc. How closely are you going to follow that?

I ate deli meat with my first, and I did not warm it up! And I totally had froyo.

Answer

Mainly I ask because I really avoided most seafood in my first pregnancy, but I have had a hankering for lobster for the past 6 months and I've been holding out until our anniversary in January to get a 3lb lobster and just chow down. But I just found out that a 3lb lobster barely has even 12 oz of meat in it on average, so I am going to fulfill my lobster craving, pregnant or not. I rarely eat other seafood, and if I do it's just shrimp, so I don't think I'm going to give my baby mercury poisoning from one lobster and a few shrimp ?

Answer

i'm going to closely follow the donts (minus a cup of coffee per day) until second trimester. i'll loosen up a bit then but still no soft cheese, alcohol or raw seafood.

Answer

I'm going to avoid the "donts" but I'm not going to ban all of them entirely, there are women all over the world having healthy babies who have not even heard of these precautions right?

Answer

I'm still eating deli meat for my lunches!

Answer

With my first pregnancy I avoided alcohol (obviously) and high amounts of caffeine other than that I ate what I wanted. I had a 9 pound baby who is healthy and happy to this day. It is up to you, choose what you want in your diet or not.

Answer

Whoops I meant going to *be* following!
