Yay or nay? Worst cravings in the world for hash browns! I've not read that I can't have them but I want other opinions! X

I'm very confused as to why you'd think you couldn't eat pineapple, OP.
What could possibly be wrong with eating fruit during pregnancy?
There's also no finer pizza topping, especially when teamed with olives (though I know I'm in the minority on this one...)

Theres a substance in pineapple that can bring on labour.

But its such a tiny amount it doesnt really count.

DolomitesDonkey · 27/09/2012 14:06

How many pineapples would one need to ingest to induce labour? Or are they used as a suppository?

wannabedomesticgoddess · 27/09/2012 14:13

Seven (according to google)

chezziejo · 27/09/2012 14:21

Seven? Surely you would shit yourself first Shock

CakeBump · 27/09/2012 14:21

I'd rather stick it up my bum I think.....

wannabedomesticgoddess · 27/09/2012 14:27

:o chezzie, thats what I thought too!!

Jojoba1986 · 27/09/2012 15:12

Rofl! You all make me laugh! Nearly as much as I laughed when someone announced that I couldn't eat raspberries or I'd go into labour...!

I reeeeeally want egg & hash browns now but we have no hash browns & DS has just gone down for his nap so I can't go get any! Sad

OP - I eat pretty much whatever I want while pregnant! Yes, there are some things which carry a slight risk for whatever reason but the risks are pretty minuscule in most cases! Having said that, I don't smoke, rarely drink alcohol & eat pretty healthily anyway!

I had HUGE cravings for bacon and hashbrowns I ate them a few days running and soon got fed up and have been ice and orange juice obsessed since.

DontmindifIdo · 27/09/2012 16:35

see, I'm not pregnant, but this thread has me wanting hash browns... (am just greedy)

GrandPoohBah · 27/09/2012 21:32

Oh Op and every-one who has said they'd shit themselves at some stage in this thread, thank-you for making a very fat heavily pregnant (8 serving a day Angel delight addict) laugh like a drain.

Eat your bloody hash browns bacon and pineapple and wear a nappy incase you shit yourself. Surely that should be in some nhs guideline? If not, I'm writing one.

chezziejo · 28/09/2012 08:15

Right today I will be mostly buying bacon and hash browns Grin
I'm thinking sod the pineapple and going for chocolate mousse Grin

sophiad · 28/09/2012 09:16

Haha, oh girls this thread has really brightened my morning. Sorry Pritchyx, I'm not laughing at you. I know it's horrible to be told you can't eat things and it makes you worry. I'm nearly 14 weeks and can't believe how many things the 'guidelines' tell you not to eat. I've been craving rubbish food also, and been so hungry so it's hard! The pineapple thing is alllll new to me! It's a fruit, thought it would be good for you?!
I did last night eat a pizza which had gorganzola on.....Then read this morning that's on the 'NO' list.....but it was cooked on the pizza, so I'm hoping I'm not going to fall down a black hole! xx

Newtothisstuff · 28/09/2012 09:26

DH has just gone to Maccys to get breakfast mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

chezziejo · 28/09/2012 09:30

Think I might go now you have mentioned Maccy's again. Gawd il never shift the baby weight.

mrsalwaysawake · 28/09/2012 11:31

Mmmm, I love hash browns...

Finbert · 28/09/2012 11:33

Now I have a new craving, thank's op! Now to find some hash browns...

TheTermagantToaster · 28/09/2012 11:42

Oh, I'm wetting myself at this thread. OP, have you mixed up your 'banned' and 'fine' lists? :o

PS I've eaten RAW tuna several times this pregnancy. It was yum, and it's fine! You just need to keep in mind where it's from (restaurant grade) and how much you're packing away.

Splinters · 28/09/2012 11:45

I'm also on a mission to eat my own body weight in prawns before the baby's born. Maybe the baby will turn out to be a giant prawn! Oh wondrous thought!

Splinters · 28/09/2012 11:46

Now I feel like I should apologise to the baby for that..

wannabedomesticgoddess · 28/09/2012 11:47

Prawns.....mmmmm

halloweeneyqueeney · 28/09/2012 11:49

is it because of the salt raising blood pressure?

I get told off at work whenever I eat something HEALTHY Hmm "ooo you can't go on a diet when you're pregant!" argh I'm not on a diet I just fancied something fresh! feck off I don't want dry canteen cake!

Spice17 · 28/09/2012 13:00
