Things you couldn't eat during your entire pregnancy

I am really craving an ice cold glass of coke and biryani, but I know I will throw up right away. The heartburn/gerd also doesn’t help. So those two will be the first things to eat and drink after delivery inshallah. :hehe:

Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

I used to eat spicy food all the time, but in my pregnancy I couldn’t handle any spice at all. Even now I can’t take as much as I used to. I was totally turned off of pizza as well for some reason, now I want it at least once a week, lol. I love pineapple juice but it used to give me bad heartburn, I would have to sleep sitting up if I drank it.

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

You are confirming my fears that I will have problems with eating afterwards. Sighhhhh
I miss coffee, orange juice, pineapples, and probably everything that can give me heartburn. I think all I eat is cereal.
I know what you mean by sleeping sitting up!

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

When I was pregnant i had minor heartburn and tums worked like a charm. But my husband dear did not let me touch chai or coke/dr pepper. When I was in labor I told him to make sure I have chilled can of dr pepper waiting for me when I am ready to eat/drink. He kept his promise and I enjoyed every last drop of it :slight_smile:

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

I swore off caffience for my child’s sake. No sodas at all no tea no coffee. I drank insane amounts of milk and only had home cooked meals till the last two weeks of month nine.

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

No Pineapples and Papayas during pregnancy! They bring contractions what I have heard. Inki taaseer bohat zada garam hoti hay. Well, I avoided a lot of things during my first trimester. A lot. Like I had to think ke kiyaaa khaaaaaooooon?? :bummer: But in my second trimester I have been told to eat whatever I want to in an average quantity. I eat red and black masoor too but only in one time meal. I eat low mercury fish too. Tilapia is best in that case. I used to Loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Shish (Turkish Chicken Meal) & now, I will straightaway throw it up I know, can’t really stand at ALL!! I don’t eat red meat at all but I crave for red meat.. don’t know why, dekh ke munh p paani aata hay especially Bong ka gosht. But chakhne ki himmat nahin hoti bus. So don’t eat it. Halka sa chakkha tha magar phir nahin chakkha. I hateeeeeeeeeeeee Bananas… yuck.. I will throw Up I know :hehe: I can’t eat fruits unless sour. I am craving for Melons. But I have seen that my quantity of food hasn’t increased. I eat the way I used to eat before pregnancy. They say coke isn’t good but I am craving for Fizzy drinks. I am just going to fridge to grab a coke can. But I don’t drink all. I take only few sips. I can’t drink milk, but sometimes just for the sake of the baby wo bhi naak bnd krke :cb: And and… bus I am craving for spices. If the food isn’t spicy, I need a green chilli.. :frowning: I know too much spices are bad for baby but I can’t get away… In that case, Gaviscon helps a lot. After meal, take gaviscon and it will relieve you from heart burn… :slight_smile: I used to loveeeeeeee juices… and I hateeeeeeeeeeeee juices now :frowning:

Daal, carrots, apples, rasins, chana chaat, aloo paratha…most of the vegetarian stuff without shorba.

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

^were able to eat or not?

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

That was all I was able to eat.

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

i dont like bhoney salans like karhai,korma ,chicken achari.. all i like is shorba like tinday gosht,aalo gosht. and i like to eat veges more like turai,bhindii louki,tinday love soups ..like veg soup patla pani type.. chicken corn soup etc.. less rice fruits mai i like all fruits and juices.. i crave badly for baked potatoes and packet waley chips …simply hate choclates and cakes now.

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

Spicy food (nihari, biryani etc)…cos it caused ridiculous heartburn… and for some reason pastas/pizza etc. Couldn’t eat it at all. It mad me sick just thinking of pizza/pasta/English food basically.

Like Demesne, I also swore off of caffeine for my entire pregnancy…I did however eat lots of McD’s french fries (only ‘white’ food I liked) lol despite the heartburn I got afterwards :frowning:

The good thing is right after u deliver the baby, there is an immediate sense of relief from the heartburn. It’s amazing lol

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

I had insane cravings for lasagna and pasta in first and early second trimester. And cravings for red meat otherwise. No craving was listened to simply because I wanted to eat right for baby.

I would advise all women to lay off caffeine and carbonated drinks completely. And avoid fast food as much as possible as it is full of MSG and GMO.

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

All my fave foods were off limits to be as I had gestational diabetes…any notions I had of spending nine months lying on the sofa eating cream cakes were banished :smiley:

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

For the longest time, all I could keep down was mom-made chicken corn soup. Then once my vomiting stopped at 17 weeks, it was open season lol. I did crave blood oranges the most but was able to eat everything from then on.

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

No relation to this post but I am having both coke and biryani as I type this… YUM!
Could eat/drink the two all day, everyday!

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

I found cravings for pasta and red meat were my body’s way of telling me to get more carbs and proteins. It’s ok to indulge so long as you don’t go overboard. Everything in moderation, including fast food and sweet treats! For a while, all I wanted was the seven layer wrap from taco bell which is basically condiments in a warm tortilla (I know, right?). I had a lot of those and cannot think about them anymore lol but I still went on to have a very healthy, big baby mA :slight_smile: look at the bigger picture instead of focusing on the small stuff.

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

Tell me, does it indicate the gender? SGC, when you craved for it, you were pregnant with a baby boy or a baby girl?? :@:

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

I don’t think it does but it’s fun to speculate! :slight_smile:
I had a boy.

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

:blush: lol yeah, I don’t believe in it too but sometimes, they are so true :cb:

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy
