Strict food restrictions?

Question

Hey mamas. 
Are yall sticking true to the “no deli meat. No soft cheeses. No etc etc etc” during your entire pregnancy? This is a judgement free zone. All comments and opinions are welcomed!

Answer

Nope. I did not. 
The risk of listeria from deli meat is incredibly low. More recalls for listeria are from things like lettuce. 
There’s nothing wrong with soft cheeses if they’re pasteurized. Unpasteurized dairy products would need to be explicitly labeled.

Answer

Definitely not. 
Deli meat was all I could stomach. It was safer to consume it than starve. I was already losing so much weight. The risk was so low on listeria. 
Even after a loss and being high risk for preterm labor, I did not follow the outdated don’t eats. 
My doctor said no drugs, no alcohol, and no raw meats (medium rare and up is fine). Moderation is key.

Answer

I'm on my 4th pregnancy. I didn't follow the recommendation, i tweaked them lol. I absolutely love my deli meat sandwiches. I didn't eat raw sushi, but ate cooked sushi. Etc etc etc

Answer

I’m pregnant with my first so yes, I’m sticking to all the rules & things my doctor advised me to stay away from. I haven’t eaten anything from a deli, obviously no drugs or alcohol but other than that, I pretty much eat whatever I want. The only seafood I eat is shrimp and only once a week when I do eat it.

Answer

Nope! I avoid raw sushi and meat but that’s really it! And before pregnancy I drank raw milk but I have put a hold on that as well during pregnancy.

Answer

Nope

Answer

No. Maybe with my first pregnancy. I’m on baby #4 & I eat what I want. I stick to no drugs, no alcohol… but that’s about it. & I stay away from raw food. My dr told me the deli meat/soft cheese rule is outdated & as long as it’s from a reputable place, it’s fine. I will say I don’t eat that much of it, simply because it’s not what I typically eat, but I don’t stay away from it.

Answer

Definitely not. I've been eating deli meat and having my coffee/soda but limited!

Answer

I’ll have a bite here and there but also- I’m older, had a MC right before this pregnancy and a scary first delivery so I’m trying to follow the “rules”. But I’d kill for a deli sandwich in the worst way 🤣😖
