am I the only one ?!

Question

Since I've been pregnant ( I'm 16 weeks ) , I have not been able to give up a lot of things ! For example : I love coffee , so I always drink at least a cup a day , if I don't drink coffee that day , I seem to always be getting matcha boba tea 😑 I'm also a girl who lives in Hawai'i & I haven't been able to give up poke if you don't know what that is , well that's raw fish marinated in soy sauce or mayo ! I still take some what of hot showers too 😱 and today I just couldn't resist eating a ceaser salad 😑
This is my 2nd pregnancy & I have been so " carefree " & now I'm paying for it with my constant worrying 😑

Please tell me there's other mommies who are rule beakers too ! Cause I'm starting to feel guilty 😩

Answer

I don't think there's anything wrong with caesar salads and hot showers. A cup of coffee a day is also fine. The raw fish is what you should really watch. Don't stress too much. I'm sure you're little one is fine.

Answer

Whats wrong with having a ceasar salad? I had ahi pome to ight at a really nice restaurant. Sushi was a regular part of my diet before so I think it's ok to treat myself time to time-first time I've eaten raw fish in 20 weeks. As for coffee-200mg of caffiene a day is fine and hot showers are ok just not real hot baths.

Answer

I've been craving coffee & poke really bad since I found out I was pregnant. Never cared for it before, but now I love it. Lol. I started eating the Hawaiian style imitation crab from food land (I live in Hawai'i too) and its basically spicy poke but imitation crab instead of ahi. Or go for fried poke. 😊

Answer

I always say if our grandparents and parents didn't worry about it then why should we :p our noses know when we can't eat something!

Answer

I think that it's totally fine. I've been pretty "bad" myself--drinking coffee and eating raw fish pretty regularly. I live in Asia and here eating raw fish is not a big deal...basically my doctor said that as long as I go to a place that I trust. I had a hard time giving up the foods I like, I just eat them in moderation.

So far baby is perfectly healthy ❤️ don't stress, just take care of yourself.

Answer

You're allowed coffee! Don't feel bad.

Honestly a lot of the stuff we have to give up is because of a small risk of something, so tons of women don't even give up stuff because they don't feel the need to.

I didn't even like coffee until I got pregnant. Now I'm addicted to this caramel drink from Starbucks

Answer

Oh and hot showers are also total fine. It's not the same as sitting in a sauna or hot tub

Answer

Drinking a cup a day isn't breaking any rules. You're allowed 200mg. As for the other safety rules, your choice is your choice.
