Eat whatever you want?

Question

I’ve heard there’s things you should and should not eat during your pregnancy.
To be honest, did you eat/drink things you shouldn’t have, but the baby turned out healthy and happy?
I’m Asian, so there are things it tells me I can’t eat, like green papaya. I love papaya salad, it’s literally in my blood. Lmfao. And I love masago, I love cheese, I love earl grey tea..
What’re your thoughts?

Answer

I have ate over all whatever I want so far. 
Deli meat
Tuna in moderation over all
Coffee, pop, etc.  (Keeping it around 200 mg of caffeine. )
I have had a few steaks that are slightly pink.
And I haven't gotten sick from anything, any baby is growing right on track. 😁

Answer

After having a miscarriage at 11 weeks at the beginning of the year I stick strictly to pregnancy do’s and don’t’s, I would never deliberately put my babies at risk.

Answer

I’ve had cold lunch meat and raw sushi.  Both were discussed with an OB.  I was told that for the most part people tend to overthink things... as long as it’s clean and good quality you’re ok.  Also, caffeine is just fine up to 200mg.  I mean obviously if things are poisonous or not ok normally stay away.

Answer

The only thing I changed was I put down alcohol and cigarettes (I was quitting anyways). I have eaten and will continue to eat whatever I want. I did with my first child and he’s perfectly fine, the only food I avoided with him was heartburn triggers.

Answer

I craved tuna my WHOLE pregnancy and only caved in one time lol. Don't know how I manged but I did. I was drink coffee like nothing by the end. The smell of coffee drove me crazy.

Answer

Yep. Ate raw sushi, lunch meat, over easy eggs,  all of it!

Answer

I didnt eat anything my doctor told me not to but all the internet hype I ignored. If you're curious, post it on here for reassurance. I read somewhere that grapes were bad and it was my biggest craving at the time, everyone on here helped me feel better :)

Answer

I ate a ton of papaya on my honeymoon while pregnant and lost a twin. So maybe I wouldn’t risk that until your out of the danger zone +12 weeks. But I pretty much only avoided raw fish and obviously alcohol and drugs. Sea food is the only thing that I’ve ever gotten food poisoning from not pregnant so that’s why I was like yaaa better avoid that. So I avoided shrimp and uncooked sushi.

Answer

I pretty much ate as normal once I got into the 2nd trimester. I was much more careful early on then calmed down once I got to the 12 week mark.

Answer

I ate whatever my heart desired during both pregnancies and both babies are perfectly fine.
