I only avoided cockles, soft boiled eggs, sharks fin, deli meats like ham etc during my pregnancy. I'm not into spicy food so didn't crave for curry. I ate salmon sashimi too but do be careful, restaurant-grade sashimi is definitely fresher than those selling from takeaway counters. Initially I refrain from eating sashimi too but i had a strong craving for it in my 3rd trimester. Several of my preggy friends also ate sashimi n their gynea say it's ok to eat in moderation as long as it is fresh (from reputable restaurants).

I couldn't eat pork during my pregnancy. Made me wanna puke.

Deli meat means those you see at manned counters at supermarkets. My hubby did some work on food safety before and he said best not to eat those! Unless as marshmallows says, you reheat thoroughly at home. Basically cold meat isn't good cos bacteria may ave gathered on it so even if you buy packed ham, just heat up in sandwich maker or something. Luncheon meat is always steamed or fried so should be fine; I wouldn't eat it out of the can!

Baby will turn yellow if you eat curry during pregnancy? haha...Funny. I think it's rumour. For example, vegetables are full of nutrition but they are green, so the mom who likes vegetables will have a green baby. Oh... Green Lantern.
Hunny, eat what you under the advice from your doctor or midwife.

Why cannot take bananas (the del
Monte type)? I took it for both pregnancies and I LOVE them! My babies are both healthy.

Like most mummies here say, eat everything in moderation.
just avoid all Raw food (sashimi, half boiled egg, cockles etc) and fish that are high in mercury (shark, stingray), cold cuts and certain cheese due to bacteria. Google for the food that should avoid during pregnancy cos of scientific reasons not old wives tales.

I still take chilli and curry cos always crave for it.
Only thing gynae said is don't take too much as it's the mother who will be uncomfy (heartburn or tummyache). Different pregnancy has different cravings, eat whatever you like but also try to eat healthily too.

Yes, eating in moderation is a good point made.
Watch your calories during pregnancy so that you won't put on excessive and unnecessary weight for you or your baby. Eating for two is definitely a "no-no" and a myth!

But do be very careful and vigilant about the medication or any drugs that you take especially during the first semester when the baby is newly developing. My advice is to do your own reading and research (ask for second and third opinions) even if the doctor says it is ok to take a particular drug. Some newer clinical findings on drugs may have proven that they are not safe for pregnancy and babies.
