Early Pregnancy

Jan 04, 2011 15:21

Let's talk about pregnancy! I haven't talked about it too much yet, which is kind of surprising. It's interesting to see how this pregnancy is already different from my others. I hope it's because it's a boy, though I suppose it could be because I'm older and have changed quite a bit over the years.

In case you don't care for pregnancy talk )

me, health, maya, pregnancy

That's odd how you got totally different cravings with each baby!

As far as sushi goes, I understand the need to avoid raw fish, but there are quite a lot of sushi that used cooked fish - unagi (BBQ eel) is delicious, and shrimp is cooked, and there are plenty of rolls that are just veggies, too. :)

My thoughts exactly! I really like salmon & philly rolls, so at least those use smoked salmon. There are plenty of sushis that are cooked. Seems a lot of people worry about mercury content, but honestly, I think a healthy diet with cooked or smoked fish is fine.

Seriously. Sushi once or twice in your pregnancy (especially in the latter half, methinks) will probably not hurt your baby. Hell, if Eden made it through 9 months of fast food, Baby3 can make it through a dozen or two dozen hand rolls. :)

Those four words still make my mouth water. That was my craving with my second child, Savannah. With my first child, I craved fish with half a bottle of Texas Pete.

They have a monopoly on second baby cravings! Those things are delicious though. They use real strawberries, so hopefully that's okay.

I wanted Raisin Bran, nothing but Raisin Bran. I swear after I had her and could eat carbs again, I ate 3 big boxes in like a day and a half!

I'm wondering if the veggies aren't at least partially to blame for the heartburn. I know most vegetables are suppose to be non heartburn triggers, but things like cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbages.... all give me TERRIBLE heartburn.

I don't know. I'd never had heartburn before, so that was weird. It did seem like pepsi triggered it worse. I think I was just drinking too much soda. It was pretty much happening a lot during that first two or three weeks, but thank goodness it's not anymore!

heartburn in my family means a full head of hair at birth.

Eden had some pretty obvious hair when she was born. All bright orange and wispy. I was born with a very large headful myself. I think it's those hairy Mexican genes.
