Will the symptoms show up right away or are the affects seen only after the baby is born? Just wondering.

It probably depends on the food...

I had the occasional feta cheese on greek salads and Emily turned out okay. I think it depends on what you eat -- but many things you'd know right away because the risk is that listerosis or whatever it's called from bacteria and you get sick I think.

I ate something with mayo. I didn't realize it until I had eaten a little. I am a little worried-

Re: What happens if you eat food that you aren't supposed to...

I ate feta cheese tonight. My theory is that everything in moderation (foodwise) is ok. I mean, look at all the people around us whose parents smoked and drank while they were preggo, and they are fine. While I'm not saying to smoke and drink, I think that a little bit of feta or mayo or whatever is ok.

Mayo is fine! Just as long as it is not HOMEMADE! The raw eggs in homemade mayo are what's bad. The mayo's you find in the stores, in salads are pasteurized.

Dont' worry!

As far as I know, the risk with some mayo is with the raw eggs it's made from-- there is a risk of bacteria causing food poisoning. So everything should be fine.

Like the others said, I'm pretty sure that storebought mayo like Hellmann's brand and other brands are pasteurized, so it's safe.

I went to a nutritionist at a perinatal place because of my GD and she specifically told me that mayo is OK on sandwiches!!

Don't stress about it! It's definately OK! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

hehe me too - yes - mayo and deli meats were 100% ok when I was preggo and on the same GD diet. It was actually my staple meal - yuck (I hate cold cuts and had to basically eat them all the time since I was so limited in what I could eat).
