Do you eat what your dr said not to?

Question

I’m 27 weeks and it’s my first baby and at first I was anxious about what I should and shouldn’t eat. Now I just eat what I want and my baby is healthy. I eat sandwich meat, hot dogs (grilled), shrimp, tuna, etc.

Answer

All those thing my doctor said I could have once a week.

Answer

No because the only thing mu doctor said not to eat is fish with mercury in it(ex. swordfish), and I hate fish.

Answer

I still have sandwiches from time to time and sunny side up eggs 🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

Yup I still eat all of that.

Answer

From what I understand as long as you’re careful about mercury you can have like 6oz of light tuna in water a week. Keep caffeine to around 200mg a day. Watch your sugar intake. Prepackaged deli meat that is sealed is safe and you can heat up anything else. It’s easier to get listeria from unwashed lettuce than deli meats anymore. Stay away from raw fish unless you were regularly consuming it before pregnancy and you can talk to your dr. About what’s safe. There aren’t a ton of reasons to restrict your diet anymore. Everything is about moderation. If your dr has a super clear reason why you shouldn’t eat something though I would listen. Some drs have different philosophies on how to do things. Some philosophies are outdated now. My dr has mostly told me to listen to my body and limit my intake on food. If I want subway have them toast it for me but don’t restrict yourself so much you feel like you can’t eat anything. Any other questions on food I just call the office or do some research.

Answer

Tuna my doctor said no more than 2 times a week. Soda or coffee 1 per day. They said heat up deli meats. Obviously no raw eggs and stuff. I’ve followed all of their rules.

Answer

I’ve followed everything my doctor has said.
