foods na bawal during pregnancy?

[Kayceelicious]

Hello mga sis! Bawal daw ang tea? Ive been having caffeine free peppermint tea since my 8th week. Im on my 16th now. Ang hirap [textspeak!] after meals nasanay ako mag green tea eh nabasa ko bawal un so okay [textspeak!] kaya [textspeak!] iniinom ko ngayon?

[Cheesecak3]

^oo nga bawal ang tea.

Malaking sacrifice din sa akin ang hindi pagkain ng sushi and sashimi kasi bawal din pala.

^^ depende sa tea sis. read here.

“Overall, herbal teas are very safe and beneficial during pregnancy, as long as recommended doses are not exceeded.” Nicole states

and again we go back to MODERATION.

pero raw food, like those sa sashimi, no talaga sya but I have a colleague who has cravings for this. she's been stopping herself pero one day di nakapag pigil eat sya just to satisfy her cravings ayun happy happy sya right after, normal naman baby.

Who have watched, I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant in TLC? this show is very interesting, you can also watch this in Youtube. The show is about women who doesn't know theyre pregnant, they only knew about it nung D-day na nila, kinda impossible. so imagine, walang vitamins, no pre natal check, no pre natal exercise, as in zero, walang bawal because they are doing their everyday lives as per normal pero so far wala namang lumabas na problem sa mga newborns unless for worst case scenario siguro. pero andun yung kaba na wala ngang tamang pag aalaga in 37 weeks or so.

sakin naman, ayaw ako pakainin ng talong. ewan ko ang dami nagsasabi wag daw. good thing hindi naman ako mahilig din.

nabasa ko nga rin yung papaya and pineapple nakakacause ng preterm labor, nung first trimester ko todo iwas pa ko, pero sa pineapple hindi ko talaga mapigil sarili ko. yun ata pinaka pinaglilihian ko na prutas buong pregnancy ko until now 31 weeks na ko. every week may pineapple kami sa house. pero i eat in moderation to be safe narin.

iwas din ako sa instant noodles and sodas. fast food naman minsan minsan lang. chocolates talaga hindi ko maiwasan. good thing 1-2pieces nasasatisfy na cravings ko. pero as in takam talaga ko almost everyday sa chocolates. sabi naman ni ob ok lang pero konti konti lang talaga.

hala bawal pala ang tea... I never knew that, although hindi naman ako madalas uminom ng tea, I only drink it in the morning with my breakfast... tsk tsk tsk

bawal din ang mga mouldy cheeses kaya stay clear muna ako sa quattro formaggi pizza but again in general ayoko naman talaga ng cheese

[Nesssy]

Grabeh ang dami namang bawal. Kung e pa follow lahat ng mga sinasabing bawal, very limited na yung choices ng food na pwede kainin ng buntis. eh kung tight budget mo, wala kang kasama na magpeprepare ng foods mo, kamusta naman yun.

and there are a lot of contracdicting information sa mga pinagbabawal. everything in excess is poision, whether pregnant or not. if we are to list lahat ng bawal na fruits na namention dito, iilan nalang ang pede and not all of it are readily available especially sa malayo sa market, no maids or hubby to go to the market or do groceries. thinking of all the bawal things mentioned, very limited nalang yung pede kainin and that's not healthy at all. 

ironic kase look at those sa mga squatters area, or those who cannot afford to even have a regular check up with OBs, why if you compare them to those with all the financial resources to support lahat ng pwede lang sa pregnant women, mas normal at healthy pa mga nagiging anak nila, mas malakas pa ang immune system.. we've heard of mothers who took all the precautions, followed all the mga beliefs ng matatanda and yet some still have probs with the baby.

bottom line is, best to know the ones that are really critical or harmful for pregnant women, those backed up by scientific studies and im sure alam yun ng mga OB's naten otherwise, marami ng OB ang nawalan ng lisensya . Moderation and discipline is the key. we would know naman if we are taking too much of something already. and it's not good for the baby at all kung kada tingin mo sa kakainin mo, may bawal na kaagad just because sabi sabi ni juan or ni juana.

agree Nesssy. nag oover react kasi ang iba then rarason nila better safe than sorry which is true naman pero minsan kahit wala ng sense pinagbabawal. as long as everything is in moderation. pati nga rice kung sobra bawal din! anong ginagawa ng google, research about these stuff and ask the professionals so to education yourself.

I have a Canadian colleague who just gave birth last Saturday. months ago, she was asking our malaysian colleague regarding the difference between Philippine and Malaysian banana. (Malaysian colleague yung kwento ko who ate sashimi/sushi when she was preggers) This Malay lady said na wag daw PH banana because it causes pre term labor. I reacted of course. I said it's a myth because if not, all babies in the PH would have been born prematurely. anong klaseng chismis pinag kakalat ng mga to. her girl friends (canadian/british) told her about this daw so she asked the real malaysian. well, ask a filipino din to be fair. e kalokohan yun wala naman silang evidence.     

[kreez]

^totoo  yan mga sis, as they say, we should take all the information we read/hear with a grain of salt.  We need to do our own research din pag may narinig tayo. 

[icegayle]

Im 16weeks sa first tri pinagbawal sa akin ni OB pineapple, dates and papaya kasi nagspotting ako that time.

[popi]

^I read online na bawal nga daw ang papaya and pineapple kasi Nakaka induce ng labor...

Pano kung lapit ka na sa due date?  Dapat ba kainin na mga yun para madali ang labor?

[pinkpotato]

^ it can help daw sis.

Natural Ways to Induce Labor
Other Foods To Induce Labor

Tropical fruits including pineapple, papaya and mango contain a proteolytic enzyme called bromelain. This enzyme is said to help to soften the cervix and therefore bring on labor. Very little research has been done on bromelain and pineapple; in addition, eating large quantities of pineapple is likely to stimulate the digestive system and may kick-start the uterus into action by that means. If you do try pineapple, consume only fresh pineapple as bromelain is destroyed during the production process of canned pineapple.

Nung 1st trimester ko everyday ako pineapple sa office.. Hindi naman ako nakunan hehe.. Lahi rin ako nag mmilk tea.. (Bawal ba to?) and minsan nag cocoffee parin ako kasi nabasa ko naman sa net moderate...

May kakilala nga ako madalas magkape.. Tapos parang walang sustansya mga kinakain nya.. (Softdrinks, chocolates) Ok naman baby nya nung lumabas.. Minsan kasi kung sino pa yung nag iingat yun pa yung.... Alam nyo na..

[vuzhia]

ako rin nagkakape @6 months, 3x a week lang naman, yun kase pang poo poo ko sa umaga, mas masama naman siguro kung hindi ako ma poo poo 

[pinkpotato]

nag papine apple din kami sa house. once a week siguro. and i drink latte pero di naman araw araw. nag te-tea din naman ako. ginger tea most of the time but all these are in moderation.

basta walang raw and yung mga obvious na nakakasama.

[popi]

I had coffee throughout my pregnancy as well, half sachet ng instant everyday.

Pwede naman daw sabi ng OB, basta wag lalagpas sa 200mg per day, which is about 2 cups of instant coffee

[meow_pao1]

this is my second pregnancy and feeling first timer ulit hehe

I haven't visited my OB yet since I am on scouting mode so I think I'm on my fifth week na.
Anyway, I am still craving for coffee and softdrinks! If I remember, I had coffee din on my first pregnancy but siguro mga 2 or 3x a week lang. Right now, I am controlling myself not to indulge in too much caffeine. And grabe cravings ko sa hashbrown :|

[pinkpotato]

^ then eat hasbrowns! just dry it sa paper towel to take off as much oil as you can. enjoy!

[GMGravity]

Nagcoffee talaga ako every morning before maligo pero sabi ni Ob bawal so kapeng may gatas na ang drama ko tuwing umaga. Di ko din maiwasan softdrinks and chocolates pero hindi naman everyday. Ang lakas ko din kumain ng kyatkyat nakakaisang bugkos ako every morning. I hope hindi naman siya masama.

[meow_pao1]

hi ladies! how about shrimp? are they safe to eat din ba? i remember i didnt eat much shrimp during my first pregnancy, matagal tagal din nasundan yung una ko so feeling first timer ulit hehe

[pinkpotato]

GMGravity, drinking softdrinks is almost the same as drinking coffee. both high in caffeine and sugar pa.

meow, luto naman prawn/shrimp di ba? baket hindi magiging safe? unless may allergies ka.
