So fed up with all these do's and donts

1st_time_mum · Mar 24th, 2012, 08:23 AM

Im constantly always hearing more and more things I shouldnt be doing while pregnant but just heard another one .. apparently I shouldnt be drinking tap water??

Does anyone else listen to all these myths or do you just live as you did before pregnancy

I've never heard that one

Some of them, like not eating soft eggs and deli meat aren't 'myths' as such, they can actually carry bacteria that can be harmful.

Hubby and I were addicted to subway, I'm only 5 weeks pregnant and already CRAVING a turkey sub so badly. Can't help but want to kick dh when he eats his sub infront of me.

my craving was egg yolk so i'd shamefully have a cheeky egg there and then

but the other day i was eating a magmum + FOB's mom told me apparently 'i'm not allowed to eat ice cream as it may contain raw egg'

don't know if anyone else has heard that!

I've never heard of not drinking tap water. Ask your doctor what you absolutely cannot have and stay away from those.

Packaged ice cream is fine, it's things like soft ice cream in McDonald's etc, something to do with germs if the machine isn't cleaned correctly x

I used to obsess over what i could and couldn't eat. When i got to second tri i became a bit more relaxed. I just avoid, alcohol, unpasteurised products, weird fish like shark and uncooked shell fish. I still eat cooked prawns.
I still have runny eggs too.

Oh and i also wash all my fruit and veg.

i'm staying away from deli meats and alcohol.I don't drink tap water from the city because apparently it's all gross and contain lots of germs and what not. I also stay away from cleaning my hamsters cages and cats litter. And after touching them animals I wash my hands. It's so annoying
