What food do you miss most?

4 years ago I don't remember it being so bad!!!

Dont eat this or don't eat that! I limited my ham and softserve but the rest I still had...... Now it's don't eat anything YOU cooked that's been refrigerated more than 24 hours, no Icecream no deli meats no sushi (not even vegetarian) no pineapple (huh) no salad sandwiches, no mayo.


Ahhhh that's what I really wanted today a yummy salad sandwich. Being at work I couldn't. Can't buy one from a cafe and had I made one at home it would be soggy and missing ham :( and mayo.

Maybe I'm just being super careful this time coz it took so long ttc.

What do you miss??? I feel confined to vegemite toast and cheese saladas lol!!

Oh and my tea..... how I miss it being at my disposal more than ONCE a day!!!

Seafood love the stuff and its al cheap and looking so yummy

Just a heads up that Praise light mayo doesn't contain egg, I loved it during my pregnancy. I was also super careful during preg. If there was a risk I avoided it! I missed camembert, Subway, sundaes, sushi rolls and it was a pain in the butt having to cook my own rice every time we ordered thai. Apparently it's the rice in the sushi rolls that's the danger. I also missed my tea and coffee!

No icecream???? I didn't have soft serve but I thought the normal stuff was ok.....

I haven't been as careful as all that, but have been seriously craving a proper eggs florentine with runny poached eggs, smoked salmon, hollandaise and spinach for yonks.

And y'know, in a few weeks time I am SO having it!

I thought normal hard icecream was fine.

And I've never heard of there being anything wrong with pineapple ... the only pineapple thing I can think of is the old wives' tale that pineapple can start labour, if you're overdue ...?

I miss sushi and sashimi a lot, and smelly cheeses, and poached eggs (mmmmmmmmmmmmm, runny yolks ...........)

I thought I would miss alcohol, but I haven't really.

I also have sort of missed coffee, but have not been able to go near the stuff most days - so I miss it, but also don't want it, if that makes any sense at all...

But it will all be so completely worth it in a few months when our bubbas arrive :D

Wow I'm obviously clueless, I didn't know a few of these, eeek.

I'm missing salami and ham the most, followed closely by sushi.

Normal Ice - cream is fine :)

Salami, Sushi & Soft Serve *Drooooool*

Haha I can't have half that stuff normally anyway cause of my PKU. Up until about 3 weeks ago I could barely eat anything. I was on 7g protein a day. But now bub is breaking down the protein for me and suddenly I can eat more than I ever have in my life on 25g protein a day. I don't mind having to eat hard boiled eggs cause normally I can't eat them at all! :)

There is so much conflicting information out there...... I have also been told no icecream from a shop....ie cone icecreams. Something to do with contamination and it being open?? I dunno I dont eat it much at all so its safe to say i dont miss it. But I do love a maccas sundae.... caramel and chocolate topping mmmmmmmmmm

Whats so sad about me missing food though - IM ONLY 6 WEEKS IN!!

You can have ham, as long as its freshy cut or cooked. You can have a salad sandwich, as long as you make it yourself. But even then, getting a take away one is fine as long as its freshy made. Mayo is fine as long as its in a squeezy bottle as the jars can cause contamination. There are so many egg free ones nowadays.

Its true about the left overs. That used to drive me mad. Also true about the sushi.. unless you make it yourself and substitute the raw fish etc.

For me though, it was the soft serve. I wanted a thickshake so bad all pregnancy. DF actually brought me a chocolate sundae into the hospital the day after DD was born! lol it was devine and well worth the wait!

Soft serve is one of my biggest weaknesses
closely followed by sushi....and I could go a whole wheel of brie....

Mumma Mia one of my first meals after DS was brie and bickies, sushi and a sundae lol.

I'm missing a glass of nice crisp dry white :D

Me too CM. We were just talking about this in our BB group.

I miss runny poached eggs and sushi. Big time on the sushi, because it's so fresh and delicious that I rooly want it. Am still eating leftovers though, if I made them the meal before. I blitz the crap outta them, no bacteria would stand a chance! I thought I'd miss tea as I usually drink cups and cups, but conveniently I can't stand the taste at the moment.

My first meal after baby: salmon and avocado sushi rolls, Maccas caramel sundae and Oyster Bay sauv blanc.

I just went and bought all the stuff to make sushi. I'm vegetarian so it's nice and easy. It wasn't as hard to make as I thought it would be, and gee it tasted good :)

I was making muffins yesterday and realised that I couldn't lick the bowl, oh no!!!

Wow. I still eat salad sangas
And pineapple? (didn't know about those 2...)
And runny eggs (so long as they're hot still, straight from the pot kinda thing)
I'm missing sushi :(

I still eat ham when I feel like it (which is rarely), pineapple, mayo, takeaway salads, lick the bowl etc. I'm careful about where I buy things from, and I wouldn't buy food court rice! Not having alcohol or soft mouldy cheeses though (ie still eat fetta). I'm more concerned about the toxins going through the placenta from cleaning products, makeup, food chemicals etc etc.

I miss SUSHI the most when pregnant!! I really really miss it when pregnant.....

BUT it just means when I'm not pregnant, like now, I can have heaps of it to make up for what I missed out on :rofl:

Besides pregnancy is so worth missing out on it anyway!

OMG yes.. I've already told my husband I want that as soon as I have had the baby HAHA

yeah my DH brought it into hospital on day 2 for me as I told him when pregnant he had to!!! bwahhahaha after 14hrs labour and 10lb 6oz baby natural no drugs, heck I deserved it ;)

eggs benedict and chocolate mousse. MMmmmmmmmm. My daughter had a chocolate mousse yesterday and I swear it nearly killed me watching her eat it.

What's the problem with pineapple? I just bought a big yummy one yesterday. Please don't tell me I can't eat it!!

I'm missing sushi a lot this time round. I'm a lot more relaxed about what I'm allowing myself to eat and drink this pregnancy but I haven't touched sushi since the first week. I'd make it myself but my one and only attempt was useless so I'm avoiding disappointment! :rofl:

I'm also missing brie and blue cheese. Runny eggs would be nice now and then too. Only 10ish weeks to go - woohoo!

PS: normal mayo from the supermarket is fine too even the egg mayos as they are pasturised. it's only freshly made mayos that are risky as they often contain raw eggs.

Normal ice cream is perfectly fine too :D

Pineapple is perfectly fine and a great option to eat while pregnant (better than all them packets of chips atleast). Yes, its been known to get you into labour but you need to eat atleast 9 whole, fresh pineapples. Im assuming it brings on labour because after that many, your bound to be throwing up out of both ends!

I'm going to a wedding tonight, and I will probably feel a little sad that I can't have a glass of bubbly.
At least I won't have a hangover!

sushi and soft serve

my SIL makes awesome (vegie) handrolls. Last christmas when i was UTD she made all the ingredients and i stuffed myself. I have put in my order for this christmas too!

And i am missing Baileys this time! I am not a big drinker but a baileys on ice just sounds devine right now. I'm going to have a bottle in the fridge to celebrate when bub arrives.

I have been a lot more relaxed about what I eat this time. My only "don'ts" is Wine and real Coffee. I don't eat a lot of cheese and definately do not eat sushi etc but I have had the occasional bit of ham, salami, Maccas sundae and thickshakes, wendys shakes, spicy food, various fruits, dips you name it.

My only reasons for avoiding REAL coffee is the caffeine levels (think its 300mg per day) which is equiv to 1 GOOD cup of coffee. But I do have several cups of tea and have a good quality decaf coffee that I can still brew.

Only reason for Wine, is the fact that its alcohol and I wouldn't like to think my baby is drunk (god knows a sniff is enough to tip me over :rofl: )

but yeah pretty much everything else I am still eating, even had the occasional fresh egg with runny yolk but it was from my girls that day.

Nae x

boconccini cheese with fresh basil and tomato! Ahhhh......!

Belle - bocconcini is safe, it's a form of mozzarella, and is pasteurised, unlike soft cheeses (i.e. brie, Camembert)

Kimble01 - arrrgghhh!! you mean I've been missing out for nothing??? Thanks for letting me know hun. :hug: I am so going to pig out today :leap:

Chocolate mousse???

Dh got fish and chips for dinner...... Mmmmmmm fish :)

No flake!!!!! :( But I did have a piece of low mercury whiting YUMMO

Gorgeous man bought me iced tea not realizing it still had caffeine in it lol.

Here's a question how many cups of black tea/coffee is too many?

I only drink tea- normally chocolate or vanilla flavoured black, some days I have 2 others I realize Ive had 4.

I do also love Lipton decaf tea so maybe I'll buy some of that but I've also heard that its just as bad??

chocolate mousse made the normal way has raw egg - raw or runny egg is not good for preggo peeps.

caffeine - I think you can have 300mg a day, so the kind of coffee/tea/cola/chocolate you have will dictate how much you can have. Proper espresso coffee has a lot more caffeine in it than instant - but most ice coffee is made with espresso ... you can find tables which go through how much caffeine there is in all sorts of different things. It's worth checking out.

Re decaf, my understanding is that it's a lot better in terms of the amount of caffeine (there is still some, but a very small amount. So if you've been told not to have *any* caffeine, then you should still avoid decafs. If you can have a moderate amount, I'm not sure why you would have been told that decaf is just as bad ... maybe ask them?

Based on the types of coffees I drink and the size and strength I make them, I know that I can have two small real coffees, or three big instant coffees.

Most days I just have one (or no) real coffee, and then have decaf though, to err on the safer side.

I don't really drink cola products or eat chocolate, so I don't need to include them in my calculations :)

Most cheese products in Australia are made from pasteurized milk (legally need to be pasteurized here - some craft cheeses don't though) so of you check the ingredients list you may still be able to have some soft cheeses - I know I found that out when pg with DS - I just made myself not eat it if it had been out of the fridge for more than 1 hr.

I have been suffering with all day sickness so the cravings have been zero ..

However I did have an after noon of feeling okay the other day and I saw a Midori and Lemonade Pre Mixer in the fridge on that hot day in Melbourne, ohhhhhh it looked soooo refreshing

Mmmm, this thread reminds me - need to give DH my shopping list for stuff he has to bring me after the birth :)
