Protect Your Baby: Food and Drinks to Avoid During Pregnancy

 

If you know of any others, please share, thanks. 

 

Have a great day! :) 

 No peanut butter and honey sandwiches?

as a not first timer, half of those things are just not worth avoiding... with one pregnancy i avoided everything they said to and that was my one pregnancy who was born with all sorts of health issues and even passed away... I say use common sense but dont be a nut over it.  our parents did fine and only stayed away from things like alchol and ciggs...(and the obvious stuff like drugs)

According to my obgyn the lunchmeat thing is not completely true.  It is just bologna and hot dogs that you want to avoid.  Other lunchmeats like chicken and turkey are fine.

A friend told me not to eat hot dogs. That kinda sucks since I've been wanting to go to Gray's Papaya for the longest and getting a hot dog meal with a coconut drink. What can substitute that?

if ya want a hot dog eat a hot dog.. just make sure they are cooked(ewww to uncooked hot dogs!)... I've also eaten turkey sandwiches... The only things I avoid are alcohol (oh how I miss you,I could use a nice cold beer *sigh*) and smoking (which I've never done anyway...ICK! )

LOL, Helene I am right there with you! I am not a drinker at all, maybe 2 or 3 times a year would I normally drink. Never had a craving with my other 2 pregnancies but with this one all I want is a giant frozen strawberry margaritta! Everyone keeps telling me to get a virgin, but I have gestational diabetes as well so I can't have the sugar! On the subject of this posting however, it is summer and I have totally eaten grilled hotdogs. I did with my other two as well. You really do just need to use some common sense on what and what not to eat.

Too funny about the margarita! I know you can't have the sugar, but I just saw these recipes for "mocktails" today...
