Food!

Are you guys drinking coffee? i know we are allowed a cup or two a day depending on strength but I gave up completely last pregnancy but having trouble his time, can't get going without a coffee!

I have given up caffeine as well. Well almost, sometime I have half a cup of coffee on the weekend. But for me I think it's easier to totally give it up than to try to limit myself!

I am usually caffeine free (one cup of coffee makes me crazy!) but I have been craving coke every now and again - but I'll only get through 50-100ml a day.

I am really struggling to eat, I'm really only getting carbs down and my fridge is the emptiest it had been since we went on holiday last. Most of what is in there is old vegetables and cheese (an early craving)

I am looking forward to when we get the inlaws old upright freezer, then if I cook something and can't eat it,i can freeze it.

I am trying to have at least one kiwi crush a day (I have it as an ice block) as the progesterone had some yucky side effects.

Hi Bell,
I really hope so since I had some today. Cream cheese didn't even cross my mind. It's gotta be pasteurized right?

Wondering about Burger Fuel... Okay or not? Beef not chicken burger, with no soft cheese

Fine. I would eat a chicken burger from them as well. They always seem to have high standards, and the main thing with meat is that it's cooked right through.

further to my question about Burger Fuel... their website says this about their aoli:
Fresh egg yolk, crushed garlic and canola blended into a thick creamy mayonnaise. Made daily and free from artificial flavours, additives or preservatives.
Used on all burgers and as an accompaniment for the Spud and Kumara fries which are cooked in fresh clean canola oil.

So I guess i'll have to ask for no aoli :( stupid raw eggs!
Can you tell, I really want burger fuel!

Hopes - My midwife told me the same thing as long as the soft cheese is a New Zealand cheese - Not imported - it is safe as long as you eat it fresh straight from the packet.

dottydot - with takeaway places I am quite happy to order what I want but I always say "I am pregnant so can you please make sure my meal is fresh, cooked well and has no raw egg" the bugerfuel down the road from me were amazing when I ordered, asked me about every single ingredient, and because I took some off my burger they offered to add something else on in place of it, they also asked me to check the chicken was cooked to my satisfaction. - They should pay me for this kind of advertising LOL

I got all the guidelines from the doctor, so no bought sushi, salads or sandwiches, so thats subway, tank, bakery out. So you have to make your own which is fine, but even then - no ham, no feta, I am really struggling - theres only so many tuna salads you want for lunch! I really want to eat healthily - does anyone have any suggestions for lunches? Any ideas for lunches would be amazing so feel free to post what you are having!

Please take foods that are rich in vitamins and calories also.
Tuna fish is good but it should be completely free of mercury.
I have heard sea foods contain mercury in some parts of world.
Pregnant women should intake foods which are having traces of lead , mercury.
You will lose pregnancy if your food has these elements.
