Hi, just me again. I have a question...

Does anyone know if you can eat packaged ham or turkey breast? I am craving a meat sandwich but am paranoid about what you can put on it. I used to use BBQ chicken a lot but I've heard thats out. I had tuna yesterday but I've heard you can't have that more than once or twice a week or something.

It's such a minefield! Any suggestions for me?
 
Why is BBQ chicken out (and where do you get that in HK), I thought that was fine as long as it is freshly cooked, and cooked through. I thought all deli meats are out so I have stayed away from ham or turkey breast. Am also interested to know if this is ok or not as am stuggling to find things to put in my sandwich too.
 
hi girls

hi hi
i was reading.. that we should avoid these foods:

- soft cheese such as goat, brie, cambembert and blue cheese
- unpasteruized milk/juices
- raw or under cooked meats, including hot dogs, and deli meats
- raw eggs, or food containt raw eggs, including mousse and tiramisu ( dohhhh!!)
- raw shell fish
-pate

i didnt hear about bbq chicken! i heard once its cooked its fine? no? but Aussie mum u can get that in GREAT super market............. in admiralty - pacific place!
its around 99 for half chicken or is it one whole chicken?


oh so ham cant either?? is that right?? i think i just had a ham sandwich last week!! ohhh

Hi Girls,

As far as I know, BBQ chicken is fine as long as you eat it hot but I used to put cold BBQ chicken on my sandwiches and I think that can be when it's dangerous. Just FYI, you can buy BBQ chickens from Great Food Hall at Pacific Place (Admiralty), Olivers in the Princes Building in Central. There is also another shop in Mid-Levels where I live called "Chicken on the Run". They sell BBQ chickens imported from Australia. I go there a bit because my hubby is addicted to Burger Rings and Twisties and thats the only place I've found to buy them. They sell Freddo Frogs as well! Great when you have any "Aussie Food" cravings.

I'm going to ask my OB about the ham and turkey when I see him next week. I was thinking that if it's packaged and therefore not sitting out with other meats, it might be OK. Will keep you posted.

Thanks everyone for the update on the food - always good to know. No morning sickness for me yet, but beginning to need a day nap here and there. Last time I was pregnant, the morning sickness kicked in around 8 weeks and lasted around 3. I wasn't physically sick, but felt pretty aweful. I kept a box of biscuits or some cut fruit & veg (celery/ carrot etc) with me and found if I didn't have something to eat at least every hour, I was going to be sick. I am hoping it is not any worse than this this time around!
 
Hi babymo,

Morning sickness were very little and not everyday since week 5. I was pretty lucky, it wasn't bothering me at all. But since friday (week 7), it is becoming BIG and really enoying...

When I wake up I'm fine, it comes right during/after breakfast. I have a hard time to eat in the morning, I just have a kiwi + a banana + 1 yogurt, that's all I can eat.

Later, around 10:30/11:00, then it's really strong...Since yesturday I tried to eat some crackers at that time, and it helps a little.

At around 1pm, it's finished. I can have a normal lunch, with no problem. I even carve for junk food ! I'm dreaming of burger, pizza, fries,...things I rarely eat !!!!! yes I know it's very strange ! :biggrin:

Some other food starts to bother me, and smells also ! As i said earlier, the smell of my shampoo make me :barf:
Bad for me, my hair cut makes me have my hair close to my nose :mad:
 
All I've had so far is a little bit of nausea on and and off. Last Friday it got quite bad but I wasn't at the vomit stage. Since then I've had waves of it but nothing too serious. I just got back from the shops and I think travelling in the taxi made me a bit queasy.

zany, I'm also finding some smells are a bit off putting. I'm refraining from going to the Wellcome supermarket on Caine Road (anyone been there?). They cook meat in there and I couldn't even stand the smell when I wasn't preggers, so probably safe to avoid it for now.

I just bought myself some pregnancy magazines! I was a bit worried that I might jinx myself but thought what the heck! I bumped into a friend while browsing in the magazine section but luckily she didn't take note of what I was looking at. Haha.
