    I don’t miss anything, there’s plenty of tasty stuff.
    It’s purely a mindset, this is my third child, and of course everything looks tempting...
    But it’s so easy to grab something else. If I’m offered something I can’t have during pregnancy, it doesn’t bother me at all.

    SUSHI !

    Marlies, don't make it too hard for yourself!! You're totally allowed to eat salt - unless you have a medical condition that says otherwise - but just limit it to sprinkling a little on your food instead of using it while cooking too..
    A box of chips won't do any harm, and salt while cooking is fine too!

    I miss carpaccio. I eat sushi just fine (except for the tuna and salmon versions).

    Thank you, Kruimel.
    I’m indeed driving myself crazy.
    I’ve had a talk with my partner and my best friend, and I’m going to get back to my normal eating schedule.

    I had anorexia years ago and finished my treatment back then. But I’m finding it really hard to let go of all the rules now.
    So I did cut out salt, but that also meant skipping my midday meal and snacks.

    I’m going to start again from today.
    The baby might be as small as a grain of rice right now, but I understand that gaining weight also involves building up fluid reserves and such.

    Good to hear that you've got a normal eating schedule again. You've had it pretty tough before, so try to make sure this beautiful time stays beautiful!
    Eat what you want - not everything, of course, haha - but do it in moderation
    Good luck!

    I miss Pathé and liver sausage I think it's not even allowed during breastfeeding yet

  7. kruimel #87

    Sure, Chelsea, you can have it, just not more than 15-20 grams per day; that comes down to max. 1 slice of bread. Both during pregnancy and e.g.

  8. Chelsea #88

    Oh Crumb, I thought per week...? Well, when I read that it can cause harm, I feel so guilty that it doesn't even taste good anymore... But I really miss it, I think it's the best on bread. Is it bad for people too? Isn't vitamin A actually abundant in fruits and stuff?

  9. kruimel #89

    No, vitamin A is only found in liver products, and it's only harmful in large amounts
    At least according to the Nutrition Center..
    If it feels more comfortable for you, you shouldn't do it, and otherwise you follow the rule 'no more than 2 times per week'.
    I rarely eat it, my child of almost 1.5 years also gets max 3 slices of liver sausage per week.
    A good alternative is Theeworst (from Kips). Is spread sausage without liver!

  10. Chelsea #90

    Hihihi, smeerworst without liver? Sounds yucky hihihi. But thanks for the tip! I'll see if I can find it at the supermarket.

  11. Papillon #91

    Kips advises against eating theeworst during pregnancy because of how it's prepared (it's not heated). So I wouldn't eat it either.

  12. kruimel #92

    Really true, Papillon? Never knew that, haha. I've been eating it throughout my whole pregnancy.

    Sorry ladies, so it's a good substitute for vit A but you still shouldn't have it.
    So just stick to sprinkles and stuff

  13. Papillon #93

    Yes, really! Unfortunately!

    Although recent research shows that you can eat raw/unheated cured meats while pregnant, provided you freeze them for 2 days (at least -12°C), which would kill the Toxoplasma gondii parasite, making it safe to eat. But whether that improves the taste...

  14. Chelsea #94

    Oh, that's a good one, Papillon. Now that you mention it, my previous dog was fed meat-based food, and freezing fish was indeed recommended first. But I think it's frozen right after catching, isn't it? But that was fish; I don't know how it works with meat.

  15. Betty #95

    Meat can harbor more dangerous bacteria. Personally, I'd go for heating it above 100 degrees. Not because I don't trust the meat, the farmers, or the slaughterhouses, but because of intensive animal farming with all the (wrong) use of antibiotics.
