Okay okay, I'm exaggerating (baby's fault). BUT, he's telling me no to everything I suggest! It goes a little something like this:

Me: I want crab legs so bad
Him: No shellfish for you

Me: Brie sounds delicious
Him: You can eat anything unpasturized

Me: I miss sushi
Him: Too bad

Me: Dallas (my five year old), give me a bite of your ham sandwich
Him: No lunchmeat allowed!

Me: I'll take my steak rare
Him: No, she'll have it well done, thanks

Ugh. I've been sick sicky sick for a week now, and everything that sounds good is bad for the baby! Do they design pregnancy that way??!! I'm going to have to live off Pirates Booty for eight and a half more months...

End rant. Thank you for listening

Im sorry but I hd to laugh a little. Thats hows my husband was with Hayden. He has started yet... I really hope he lets me make my own decision this time! Good luck... just sneak it when hes not home

[gypsystar]

I so understand, I generally want most whatever I can't have LOL.

Hey, if it makes you feel better for another time, the Mayo Clinic says you can eat crab, as long as it's fully cooked:


What's safe to eat?

Choose seafood that's low in mercury, such as:

Shrimp
Crab
Salmon
Pollock
Catfish
Cod
Tilapia

I'm still too queezy to eat normally, but in my non-ill-feeling moments I actually fantasize about eating real food again...

[wishing]

Luckily my DH doesn't know anything about what is or isnt ok to eat. He is obsessed with what I clean or move or lift.

I did have to have a little chuckle reading your post. I do think food and pregnancy is a crule joke of the universe.

[rcjh12]

That's too funny!

My hubs is scared to tell me I can't do/eat something. Luckily so far no cravings that have me wanting to eat something "naughty".

[Glowlilac]

I think it's cute that he cares so much ... just as long as he doesn't get too crazy (like if he tells you no ice cream ... that wouldn't be cute )

[H_Hplus1]

lol....my DH wouldn't dare tell me what to eat right now...I'm waaayyy to hormonal for that!!

[sarah*]

I have always eating lunch meat through my pregnancies? i have never been told its a no no, ill have to check that up maybe i should read through the do's and don't s again! its so hard to remember everything when pregnant

[pnutterbutter]

My husband is the opposite. I'll say that I can't have something and he's like "A little bit's not gonna hurt.

[Ravado]

That is sweet your DH knows and cares. Mine is not up on the food and does not seem to care what I lift but he is very cautious about chemicals. I am not allowed to touch the pool stuff and I doubt I will get to stain the fence boards we have on order.

[Charlamaine]

Its not exactly lunch meat you cant have its deli meat, but if cooked to 165 degrees F its fine, I ate ham, turkey, chicken, roast beef whatever after I wasnt sick with my pregnancies...I am pregnant with #5 and all my babies are fine.

[stephanieaehenley]

my husband did bother me about food with my first so im sure he wont this time either, but im a really picky eater so i dont eat and fish or lunchmeat so no problem for me there

This is how my husband is. If I say I can't eat sushi, he says, "what do you think women in japan eat when they're pregnant?" lol

Also, I eat lunchmeat. I've been eating or 2 sandwiches a day with this pregnancy. I did it with the last one, too.

[AmbiMom]

The lunchmeat issue is the risk of listeria. If you heat your lunch meat up to steaming, then you kill the bacteria. Also, if it is fresh, the risk is greatly reduced. Listeria can pass through the placenta and affect the baby and the mom may not even show effects of the bacteria. Most people process listeria without any issues. I have eaten sandwhichs and hotdogs during my pregnancies, but I do heat them up.

[ProjectMama]

Awe that's cute that he cares, but he might be in trouble if he is too hard on you

[rosiewells]

How cute! I have not been craving anything that I am not supposed to have. Although, my husband and I have decided that we are only grocery shopping at Trader Joe's or Whole Food's.

This morning I was using the milk that was one day expired and DH was like "you can't have that, your with child" I laughed at the "with child" My husband can be a dork sometimes.
