basic do's and don'ts
I'm pretty early along and won't be at the dr's till the 28th, so what are some good tips or general rules of thumb?
I need all the help I can get! I just remembered this morning I can't eat Tuna fish anymore and got all bummed b/c I love it!
TIA

Re: basic do's and don'ts
You can eat tuna salad- just not every day.
No booze, less coffee, no raw or unpasteurized food.
Basics.
Oh, and no smoking.

Re: basic do's and don'ts
The posters abover pretty much covered all the "donts"
As for the DO's:
Drink lots & lots & water & try to maintain a well balanced diet (espcially with fiber & calcium)
Try not to stres
Start taking prenatal vitamins.

Re: basic do's and don'ts
honey is ok.
nothing raw or undercooked. That includes eggs (no runny eggs), and steaks (get them well done).

Re: basic do's and don'ts
Everyone else has said the right things.... Although my doctor told me that I should not eat White Albacore Tuna... He said that I could have the Chunk Light tuna once a week.... but no more.
And yes - honey is totally doable.

Re: basic do's and don'ts
-cold cuts are also on some don't lists (although a lot of us still eat them)----due to the risk of listeria, some drs say to heat them first
-some avoid hot dogs for the nitrates

Re: basic do's and don'ts
Besides things to eat, remember not to sleep on your back or belly. Start sleeping on your left side - it's best for circulation.

Re: basic do's and don'ts
My doc told me no store bought salads (chicken salad/tuna salad) and no cold cuts except the pre-packaged kind and also no soft cheeses ....this one killed me I love my nacho cheese!! Limit your intake of Caffeine to 1 cup of coffee a day
