[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Mexico City while 16 weeks pregnant and ate whatever I wanted - except queso fresco. That and bean sprouts are the only things I avoid here in the U.S. I also went to India, Sri Lanka, and the Middle East while in the first trimester and did not restrict my eating - with the caveat that I did not eat street food and I only ate from reputable places.(Which I guess does count as restricting my eating but don’t think I would’ve eaten street food in those places while not pregnant.) In Mexico City I did eat street food. [/quote]

I got severe food poisoning in India. I also came back with a few friends, i.e. parasites. I tried to be very careful.[/quote]

I am the PP you’re responding to. I got extremely sick in India too. I was so sick I thought I was dying - and I didn’t even care. I was pregnant and still nursing my 15mo and consuming negative calories for days. For me it was a bug, not food poisoning. I never want to go to India again.

And I am glad others mentioned not drinking tap water. I guess that’s so obvious to me I didn’t think to mention it![/quote]

People go to Mexico constantly. Cabo is filled with Americans! It is not like going to India. Geez. It’s like So Cal. [/quote]
