[quote=Anonymous]I felt nauseous throughout my first trimester. Coffee, vegetables and meats all made my stomach turn and I survived on pizza, fruit and sports drinks. Once my nausea subsided, I had 1 -2 cups of covfefe a day (then switched to decaf) and began eating deli meat from Potbelly (since they toast their subs -- are they hot enough to be considered safe? not sure but I rolled the dice). By my third trimester I was definitely consuming more caffeine (maybe 3 cups a day, spread out) than recommended and I was eating "over medium" eggs. I had a total of one glass of champagne during pregnancy (2 or 3 tiny glasses in my 3rd tri). I wasn't really interested in alcohol. Also stayed away from sushi with raw fish and instead had some avocado rolls, which hit the spot. I'd say managing caffeine was by far the most difficult for me. Honestly, my baby arrived slightly preterm but very healthy and spent no time in the NICU. There's a strong history of preterm birth in my family so I don't think it was the extra cup of coffee but wanted to give all the info as you navigate. Good luck with your pregnancy!  [/quote]
