This is what the swedish food and health authority reccomend: Banned list Perch gravlax pike perch-pike cod liver raw shellfish halibut vaccupacked smoked fish eel cold-smoked meat, parmaham etc liver raw mince meat all meat that hasn't been cooked through brie, gorgonzola and similar cheeses all un pastuerized dairy products Do you not have similar recommendations in the US? /Erika The first ten years of your life you try to be just like your parents. Then for then years you try to be as little as your parents as possible. Then you gradually change in to them. |

Perhaps we do have more preservatives in packaged foods, although I would not say that applies to beef. The U.S. did not run into problems with "Mad Cow" disease as did many places in Europe and Britain. It's understandable you are nervous with your first child (and congratulations!). My point simply was, you have to eat. And anyone and everyone I've met who gave birth didn't have a list of things they should not, could not, eat. They all gave birth to healthy children. As for the "eating for two", it's apparently an excuse. My best friend gained 70 lbs with her first child who only weighed 7 lbs. Bit over the top, don't you think? Best of luck to you. Jill |

Included were raw/rare fish/meat, soft cheeses (e.g., brie), more than 1-2 cans of tuna per week, swordfish, mackerel, shark, undercooked/raw eggs, unpasteurized milk and juice, and certain herbs. I was very cautious while pregnant and followed all of these recommendations (as well as abstained from alcohol and caffeine consumption), but I do know pregnant women who ate sashimi, brie, and rare beef and also drank small amounts of alcohol and caffeine and didn't have any problems.

Some pregnant women choose not to talk about it in public, but most doctors or midwives send them home from the first visit with a list similar to what you have posted. Generally the list contains foods like fish and meat that may contain bacteria, chemical residues or heavy metals. Alcohol and unpasteurized dairy products are also on the list as well as many over-the-counter medications. gloria p |

I was told not to eat the 5 poison 'P's' of Pregnancy, they a Pizza, potato
chips, popcorn, Pretzels and pasta. I was also told to avoid salt and caffeine. I gained 26 lbs' while pregnant and gave birth to a 9lb 14 oz baby boy. My doctor told me to only gain 25 lbs and put "Excessive weight gain' on my chart. I was SO upset about that. My son was 2 weeks and 2 days late. Amber |

There is no difference. Maybe years ago, there weren't any guidelines in the U.S. for which foods pregnant women should avoid, but today there certainly are!! |

And a nice explanation of the whys and wherefores. The only common caveats I was aware of were alcohol, nearly all drugs, incl. aspirin, smoking, and sometimes caffeine.

I am just now 8 months pregnant, in the US, and was told/asked not to eat sushi (at least that made with raw fish), certain soft cheeses (including Camembert, brie, blue-veined, and feta), undercooked hotdogs and the like, and certain fin fish that could contain mercury (for instance, shark, swordfish, king mackerel, tilefish). It is suggested not to eat much, if any, luncheon meats, smoked fish, and canned fish. Oh, and unpasteurized milk... The list looks pretty darned similar! -- Judy B, Rochester, NY |

LOL ======= Noooooo, it actually has more to do with not wanting to hear dozens of "experts" tell you what they ate and what you really can eat... ! Arrgghh!!! I purposefully stayed as far away from any "know it all" women that just *loved* to give unsolicted advice. "They" can make your pregnancy miserable...! My body, my child, and I have a very skilled midwife (whom I adore!) so LEAVE ME ALONE!! And even thoughDan corrected my math... in spite of the dozens of pounds of potatoes I ate - I only gained 21 pounds. So there! Cyndi <Remove a "b" to reply> |

From the USDA: Do not eat hot dogs, luncheon meats, or deli meats unless they are reheated until steaming hot. Do not eat soft cheeses such as feta, Brie, Camembert, blue-veined cheeses, and Mexican-style cheeses such as "queso blanco fresco." Hard cheeses, semi-soft cheeses such as mozzarella, pasteurized processed cheese slices and spreads, cream cheese, and cottage cheese can be safely consumed. Do not eat refrigerated pté or meat spreads. Canned or shelf-stable pté and meat spreads can be eaten. Do not eat refrigerated smoked seafood unless it is an ingredient in a cooked dish such as a casserole. Examples of refrigerated smoked seafood include salmon, trout, whitefish, cod, tuna, and mackerel which are most often labeled as "nova-style," "lox," "kippered," "smoked," or "jerky." This fish is found in the refrigerated section or sold at deli counters of grocery stores and delicatessens. Canned fish such as salmon and tuna or shelf-stable smoked seafood may be safely eaten. Do not drink raw (unpasteurized) milk or eat foods that contain unpasteurized milk. From South Dakota Public Health and Fish and Game - no more than 1 7 ounce meal of largemouth bass, walleye, or northern pike per month because of mercury |

Most of the list made sense, but this one baffled me:
> brie, gorgonzola and similar cheeses Here in the U.S., all cheese has to be made with pasteurized milk (there is a very small raw-milk-cheese industry that has to jump through all kinds of regulatory hoops). Are those cheeses made with unpasteurized milk in Sweden? I know Brie is made with unpasteurized milk in France. -- Sylvia Steiger RN, homeschooling mom since Nov 1995 http://www.SteigerFamily.com Cheyenne WY, USDA zone 5a, Sunset zone 1a Home of the Wyoming Wind Festival, January 1-December 31 Remove "removethis" from address to reply |

I ask because I keep hearing conflicting reports. I thought hard cheeses didn't have to be pasteurized, and I'm confused on the subject of pasteurization and soft cheeses. On way or the other, the soft cheeses in France taste MUCH better. --Lia |

I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and had to follow a strict low sugar/low fat diet for 6 months. No chocolate, no ice cream, lots of walking for exercise. Knowing that it was affecting my kidlet made it a breeze, and Small Child is healthy & active, no weight issues. But could I do it for myself? Probably not... -- j*ni p. ~ mom, gamer, novice cook ~ ...fish heads, fish heads, eat them up, yum! |

"maxine in ri" & several others chatted... and then...
<snip> : : My dad, born in 1910, weighed in at 14 lb. he was the first one. : Then Grandma had twins...12 lbs each. And yes, she had adult-onset : diabetes later in life. Those were the days! : : maxine in ri Holy Schmolies!!! First one @ 14 pounds and then twins at *Twelve* pounds EACH?!?! My sincerest sympathies on how rough that delivery had to be!! Geez, and average birth rates for twins, these days, are around 5 or 6 pounds... I do believe that I am now *extremely* pleased that Nathan was only 8 # 3 1/2 oz. Whoa! I'd still be screaming had he been 12 or 14 pounds! Cyndi <Remove a "b" to reply> |

On way or the other, the soft cheeses in France taste MUCH > better. Cheeses that are aged more than 60 days can be made with raw milk. Not many cheesemakers have chosen to do it because of the restrictions, paperwork and general hassle it is. One such producer is Bobolink Dairy at the New Jersey-New York border. Jonathan White is the cheesemaker and a wizard and all-around cool guy he is. Check him and his operation out at <http://www.cowsoutside.com/> A not-technical story about raw milk cheeses. <http://tinyurl.com/q1tw> Pastorio |
