anderson

Answer
feta (goat cheese)
brie
Camembert
blue-veined cheeses, like Roquefort
Hot dogs
Sausages
Deli meat
Under cooked meat like beef and chicken
Pates
Ready to eat cold seafood
Raw eggs and raw egg dishes
Raw seafood, especially shellfish
Eat hard cheeses, like cheddar, instead of soft cheeses during pregnancy.
If you do use soft cheeses during pregnancy, cook them until they are boiling (bubbling).
Make sure the labels of your dairy products say "pasteurized" on the label.
Make sure you consume meat, poultry or seafood that has been cooked thoroughly


The Food and Drug Administration as well as the professionals in the medical field always caution expecting Moms against eating soft cheeses and certain deli meats. The reason being certain foods can become contaminated with bacteria called Listeria. . If you become sick from Listeria, the baby you're carrying could get sick or worse case scenario it could be fatal. To protect your unborn baby, eat hard cheeses instead of soft cheeses and thoroughly cooked meats while you are pregnant.

Raw meat such as sushi, seafood, rare or uncooked beef, or poultry because of the risk of contamination with coliform bacteria, toxoplasmosis, and salmonella.
Raw eggs, or foods containing raw egg such as Caesar dressing, mayonnaise, homemade ice cream or custard, unpasteurized eggnog, or Hollandaise sauce because raw eggs may be contaminated with salmonella.
Soft cheese such as blue cheese, feta, Brie, Camambert, and Latin-American soft white cheeses such as queso blanco and queso fresco because they may harbor harmful bacteria.
Fish containing accumulated levels of mercury in their fatty tissues such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel, tilefish.

healthy foods to eat for pregnancy?

lilly

soon to be 30 weeks pregnant,and found out that i didnt pass my glucose test and have to go in for a 3 hour test,with that said,i know i need to cut off sugars,and carbs.but i also found out i was anemic.
what are the best foods specifically good to eat,and are healthy.its hard to eat healthy,and keep doing it,so what are snacks as well that i could have thats actually enjoyable.=].lol

Answer
Hi - first off, for some reason it's pretty common to fail the first test and pass the second. I know of 5 women that happened to anecdotally.

But either way, a gestational diabetes diet looks something like this:

- don't go over 30-45 carbs per meal, 15 carbs per snack
- always have protein and/or fat when you have a carb
- 3 meals a day, 3 snacks per day
- avoid fruit before lunch

So you never want to have an apple by itself - always eat it with some cheese or some turkey because it will slow down the breakdown of the carbs which will keep your blood sugar from going high. Eat whole-wheat, whole grain versions of breads, pastas, and rice. You can eat pretty freely of protein. Avoid obvious sugars, especially juices and sodas, and any of the "white" carbs like white bread, white rice, pasta.

Sample menu could look like this:

Breakfast, 7:00 a.m.
Whole wheat toast with peanut butter
cottage cheese

Snack: 10 a.m.
Apple & cheese or whole wheat crackers and cheese (I admit I eat fruit before noon against the dietitian's recommendation)

Lunch, 12:00: Turkey sandwich, veggies on sandwich, fruit

Snack, 3:30: Milk, whole wheat tortilla, turkey

Dinner, 6:30: 1 cup whole wheat pasta
low-sugar spaghetti sauce, ground turkey
Broccoli, salad

Snack, bedtime:
Light yogurt, strawberries
