Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi Archie and Preeti,
Preeti, first of all congratulations to you.
I just read your posts within the last couple of days wherein you had written about salads and dairy products.
Is it ok to eat raw tomatoes, onions, cucumber(particularly tomatoes)? If so, can it be taken daily, in small quantity? Are there any particular things of salad that u are talking about?
Also, I had read in many sites that taking yogurt is good?
Should eggs be completely avoided?
What are the other things to be avoided?
Thanks in advance. Preeti replied. Hi Bubly
As Archie has explained all natural things are good.I asked question about fruits because I take them too much so wanted to be sure.
About every other thing eat fresh & natural but should not over take any one thing.Keep variety.
About Salads avoid taking them from outside & at home don't take salad dressings.You can make simple salad with fresh ingredients like cucumber,tomatoes onions etc.Avoid anything which is artificially flavoured
or have MSG or raw eggs.
Take Care
Preeti archie replied. Bubly,
please don't mind but you are stressing too much for nothing.
trying for a month is not long enough to wonder on what to avoid and what to eat.
things to avoid comes when you are known to be pregnant. If it bothers a lot then don't things that you feel contraindicative in your luteal phase, that's post ovulation till confirming pregnancy or experiencing period. But personally I think that's too confusing as there is only 20% chances to get pregnant at each round of cycle for any healthy couple. Stop getting worried for un-necessary things.

Another thing, if you follow posts in last few days then you should only ask that you did not understand. The ingredients like tomatoes, potatoes, onions are so natural and why would you think to avoid them?????? Who is that great scientist proven their bad impact on pregnancy?

If salad dressing is concern then avoid it if you want to get pregnant there is nothing wrong to avoid things. If you want to be bold then without putting concern go ahead an eat things.

But in many of the messages I have told why to avoid salads, dressings and raw eggs, have you not understood that point? If not then let me know and I shall repeat.

Archie
