Prenatal Dietary Concerns

no. definatley not. if there are any possibility of allergies stay clear of them. There are certain fish food's you cannot eat while your pregnant because of the mercury, but yes you can have shrimp. Whoever wrote the above answer probably cannot get pregnant and is mad at the world. Go ahead just stay away from a whole bunch of albacore tuna. Eat the shrimp!

I see no problem with that.

Baking soda is a really bad pregnancy craving of mine along with that of "crushed" ice or any ice for that matter. I asked my doctor about it and although it is not healthy it is common. For 9 months of my pregnancy with my now 2 year old daughter I ate baking soda and she came out fine. Not I'm 35 weeks pregnant with my son and I've been eating baking soda and the doctor says he's fine as well. My only problem is that I do have high blood pressure if I do not drink enough ice water in between the cravings for baking soda.

Eating baking soda may also be a sign of an Iron Deficiency.

pregnant women can eat dry prawns

They aren't necessarily bad for you, not saying they're like vegetable healthy, but it can't hurt to eat a bag from time to time.

the most noticable effect of chewing raw basil is that the poop looks greenish-brown. another effect is that it takes more sexual plesure to get a boner for a guy, and is much harder to get an orgasm for a girl

Prosciutto is a form of dry-cured, thinly-sliced ham from Italy.

there seems to be some concern about the effects of caffeine in tea, however a few cups of tea per day should not pose any serious risk as the caffeine content of tea is low. After all just breathing the air while pregnant is not advisable in most major city's.

Nursing Herbal Medicine Handbook (Eds.: J. A. Schilling McCann, W. J. Kelly; Publisher: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins; pg. 27-28) says, "Basil contains estragole (70% to 85% of essential oil) as a major component and smaller amounts of safrole. Estragole may have mutagenic effects if taken internally in massive amounts, but it's safe to use as a spice....Pregnant women, breast-feeding women, infants, and young children should avoid using basil" in medicinal quantities.

In plain English, you can use it in food, but using the essential oil is not safe in pregnancy.

Well,um, I think shrimp and cooked roaches is distant casinds, very distant ya know. But you can really notis da rasemblans - da hard xoskeleton and all dat jazz. I wonder how a cooked cockroach will fart up with buttered shirmps. mmmmm mmmmm mmmmmm Addin 2 dat shrimps are crustacans and cooked roaches are like soo good with pepper, tomatos and ah beer. Insects and crustaceans all belong under da category of enrthropods - animals which have joint legs. In lame mans term, there is three kind of enthrtopods - Insects, ants and their families, insects again, and Jeniffer Aniston. Now, just think bout dis Crustacans is nown 4 its larj size despite the presens of exoskeleton. Insects anywho can not grow as prety as a king crab because of they xoskeleton. Yet why do crustacans taste better when they are fried in olive oil? Why insects sooo do not? Insects growth are registred by the Earths gravity, they cannnot carry dat exoskleton if they is to become biger and there boy would like sooo be smashed by Gravitys force. Crustacans on my other hand grows on da sea where I love to swimm, get a tan and have a few beers is much better than da land. It is almost like zero gravity on dat,! on cocnlusion, ya the two have nice resemblance.

You feed her the normal food plus a pinch of uncooked oatmeal in her food and give her a very small serving of warm milk a 1 piece of fruit everyday. Oh yeah and give her more protein than usual. Hope I helped.

Yes, Parmesan cheese comes from cow's milk, and that is what a child needs to grow (and it helps make yours and the baby's bones stronger).

If you are worried about Listeria (that can cause miscarriages), which is sometimes found in cheeses, Parmesan is not on the list. Parmesan is considered safe. Listeria tends to be found in softer, moister processed foods. For instance, blue cheese is not recommended during pregnancy. Neither are hot dogs or bologna. Cream cheese is an exception, as long as it was made from pasteurized milk. Pasteurized soft cheese like cream cheese and cottage cheese are in the clear. You need to worry more about soft mold ripened cheeses. Keep in mind, in countries like the US, the chances of Listeria are very low, but doctors recommend the precaution anyway. It is only for 40 weeks, so why take the chance? Your doctor can tell you all about which foods have a higher risk factor.

There should be no problem with this. Just make sure you are aren't just eating a Special K bar or following the Special K diet during pregnancy. It does not contain near enough protein or nutrients to be eaten alone. If you eat a special k bar for breakfast, also have an egg or a glass of milk along with a cup of fruit juice (pure juice not from concentrate) or a fruit serving.

Seafood, like crawfish or crayfish, is very nutritious and full of great vitamins, minerals, omega-3's, and lean protein. Because the mercury levels are considered to be the lowest in this seafood, crawfish or crayfish may be enjoyed with two 6-oz servings a week. It is important to eat a well balanced diet that includes food from all the food groups.

Hello, My wife ate Swiss chesse when she was pregnanat and no problems occured. I have never heard of it ever being a problem however in relation to cheese generally I have seen warning labels on a small number of French / Swiss cheeses recently sold in the UK which are a speciality as they are unpasteurised and hence a risk if pregnant. So as long as you avoid unpasteurised cheese you should be fine. Paul

Yes, there have been studies that a women can produce milk if see thought see was pregnent or really wants a child of her own . Yes. If a woman is taking hormones to control her period or birth control, it can cause the milk glands to produce, or lactate. Some women who have had a child will continue to lactate for some time.

You should also not eat any raw foods (meats, eggs, etc or foods containing raw eggs or meat such as Caesar dressing, home made ice cream, some mayonaise), soft white cheeses.

Unless you add chocolate and mayonnaise to the soy cheese will it be healthier but anyways CHEESE! ---- For a recipe to make your own delicious soy cheese, see the relevant page, further down this page, listed under "Releted Questions."

Not if its real vanilla. True vanillia extract is just the result of vanilla beans soaked in alcohol, usually bourbon or rum, until the flavor of the vanilla is thouroghly encorporated, then the solid matter is removed. So drinking vanilla extract is similar to drinking very strongly flavored bourbon. Be warned, it will not be sweet, and often the price of the vanilla is a direct correlation to the quality of the beans and alcohol. Artificial vanilla, on the other hand, is a combination of chemicals, usually man made and synthesized to taste like vanilla. Personally I wouldn't touch the stuff, not even for baking.

She can eat just about anything. Raw fish could be a bit of a problem since it can contain parasites and mercury.

There is no set amount that a woman should eat when she is pregnant. She should eat healthy and eat when she is hungry.
