Some types of sushi, such as California rolls (which contain steamed crab) and cooked eel, are fine to eat while you're pregnant. But it's best to avoid eating the kinds that contain raw seafood, such as tuna. Fresh, raw seafood is potentially risky because it can contain parasites such as tapeworm, which, if they grow large enough, could rob your body of nutrients needed for your growing baby. Freezing and cooking deep-sixes the parasites. For this reason, many Japanese restaurants that specialize in sushi use frozen rather than fresh fish. But restaurants in the United States aren't required to freeze fish before serving it raw.\nAs far as eatting canned tuna and the like at home- According to the latest recommendations, pregnant women can safely eat up to 12 ounces of a variety of fish a week. Canned tuna is one of the most commonly consumed types of fish with low mercury levels according to the FDA. Pregnant and nursing women can safely consume albacore as one of their fish choices. The new advisory tells pregnant women they can safely eat up to six ounces of albacore a week (an average sandwich contains 2 ounces).

i wouldnt worry about mercury content unless she is eating a lot of albacore tuna, usually more than 3 times a week.  what you should worry about is sashimi.  there is a condition called anisakiasis which is caused by eating undercooked/raw fish and crustaceans.  she can become very ill from this infection, but humans are not the true host for these worms, so it will usually cause severe abdominal cramping and the like.  it is dangerous for a pregnant woman because the worms have to be removed by surgery.  there are other types of worms and disease that can be contracted from eating undercooked seafood, so your best bet is to stay away.  if you eat at a reputable restaurant, there shouldnt be any worry, but you never know.

How soon after the cesarian? \n\nBasically, the mother should have clear soups, jelly, and lots of water (even chewing gum helps) until she passes wind or has a bowel movement. \n\nAfter that, she should eat whatever she likes in small amounts quite often. Many women find that it is easier on their fragile systems to eat six small meals a day rather than three larger ones. She should also be given lots of water and juices to drink. Especially grape, currant or berry juices that contain iron to replace blood lost during the birth.\n\nShe will have to watch how the baby responds to what she has eaten too. Everything she eats eventually affects her milk, so many women find they must avoid gassy foods like cabbage and broccoli.

Salmon is the best for you I believe - but it needs to be super fresh - so dont go to a sushi place that doesnt have a high turnover for risk of bacteria. The taste is quite easy to handle, try going to a sushi train!

Brown rice is great for you. 1/2 cup. But white rice is full of starch/sugars. Here's a great sample menu that I used after my baby was born. I ate like a crazy person and at the end of my pregnancy weighed 203 lbs. I am 5'6". Now, I weigh 130 and of course I look great! and feel great!\nBreakfast:\n3/4 cup oatmeal\n1/2 grapefruit with 1 packet of Splenda to taste.\nwater\n\nSnack:\n1 slice whole wheat toast w/ 1tbsp peanut butter\n\nLunch:\nTuna and Lettuce wrap, you can season with 1 tbsp. vinagrette dressing.\napple\nsteamed broccoli florets (you can season them w/ Ms. Dash).\n\nDinner\nBoneless skinless chicken breast (seasoned with lemon juice from a real lemon, not a bottle).\n1/2 cup brown rice\nsteamed cauliflower\n\nsnack before 8p.m.!!!\n1 cup plain vanilla yogurt\n\nNO FOOD AFTER 8P.M.!!!!!  \n\nI used this diet from July to January and dropped from 200lbs to 130!

It can be very healthy as long as you supplement your diet with enough calcium, protein and iron etc. from other sources.\nStudies have shown however, that pregnant women who follow a vegan diet are not doing their babies any favors.  Developing babies need a balanced diet and it is absolutely a must that they recieve all they nutrients they need - including those from meat and dairy - to ensure proper brain development.  If you are planning to become pregnant make sure to talk to your doctor to find out how exactly to supplement your diet so that your child will develop properly.

go to your pharmacy and try an over the counter med called nausine or any of the generic anti nausia syrups on the shelf....they work really well to help you keep your food down and are mainly composed of glucose and fructose....so be careful if you're diabetic. if i were you i would take a pregnancy test just to be safe. i've heard of cases of women menstrating while they're still in the first couple of weeks into their pregnancy....but it could be a number of thins so you really need to talk to your physician. but until you get the appointment to see him....try the antinausia syrup....it really helps.

I think oily fish helps, as does white meat and most vegetables! Try stir - frying some pork with bok choi, mange tout and baby sweetcorn, with a little chilli sauce, soy sauce and soba (buckwheat) noodles. Nummy AND BrainFood!!

i think u mean craving. craving (or yearning) for a particular kind of food when ur pregnant is common.

They usually do, but only because you consume fewer calories. The foods themselves do very little to aid in the weight-loss process -- although they do make you healthier : )\n\nI'd give it a try. Combined with exercise (and lots of it), you could probably lose 2.5-3lbs per week. Just make sure you aren't eating any raw meat though. That will make you very, very sick. Only sushi is okay.

im in exactly the same position, 12 weeks pregnant, and snacking on crap. I spend ages trying to think of something a fancy for dinner and end up having a sandwich, because everything makes me feel ill. I hate fruit and veg but i try get my 5 portions a day by drinking 100% fruit juice (pineapple) and forcing an apple or 2 down. Ive asked my friends who have had babys and asked whether they ate healthy during pregnancy and they didn't either, and their babies are fine, so try not to worry to much! (although i know its hard)

Definitely not! Whirlpools and saunas are big no-no's for pregnant women! The temperature is way too high for the baby.

entirely possible. Check the fish in your sushi carefully. Better still, stick to shrimp & crab sushi as they're cooked

Swimming is an excellent exercise for pregnant women, especially since it is low impact.  Just check with your doctor first.

you are forgetting veggies!  make some vegetable sushi- cucumber or avacado!  you really don't need a lot of equipment, but a little patience at first!  http://www.sushilinks.com/recipes.html#Anchor-Zespri

If you mean to have a male child, there isn't a food that affects that. If you mean a food that makes you more fertile, then anything with zinc might help(oysters).\n\nBut really, the key is lots & lots of f*cking. Don't eat a c*ck, stick that somewhere else.
