I went out for dinner on Sat night...

[sophiad]

....And I had smoked salmon to start, and a steak for main, with a glass of sancerre on the side. I felt like a wild woman but my god it was amazing haha. At 33 weeks I thought 'sod it'....and it was great ! Just thought I'd share x

Bloody good for you! I had some Pimms a few hundred prawn canapés at a wedding when I was about 33 weeks and received many a tut. I literally didn't give a chuff

Good on you!

DP took me our for dinner when I was about the same amount of pregnant. I had chicken liver parfait with toasted brioche followed by a huge and bloody cote de boeuf and a large glass of malbec. T'was heaven

Sounds amazing!! :D

I have to say apart from the wine I've certainly not been cutting back much on those things. After 25 weeks I've had salmon and rare steaks. And the only reasons I've not had the wine is because I still don't fancy booze. God I hope this doesn't continue after giving birth!!

Sounds lovely!
I haven't been properly out for ages and we also glammed up and went for a 'posh' meal as well on Saturday.
It was on the pretext that I think I am low on iron so I 'needed' a steak as I am rubbish at getting them right at home. My one concession was that I went for a medium pink one rather than rare and bloody.
Oh and the small glass of malbec with it was heaven!!!!
(and I suspect that my scallop starter may also have been on the 'avoid' list but I have also seen that they are good for iron!!!!)

The scary thing is that even if it is just a placebo - I felt less tired on Sunday even though we were stop-outs and didn't get home till midnight! (I'm normally asleep by 9 lately)

Hehe bless you, I had some pate on christmas day

And have sneaked a few licks of egg yolk off others folks throught my pregnancy lol

Wish I could go out and have a nice rare (still mooing) steak :) couldn't afford even if I wanted too! :)

Maybe ill treat myself to a wkd blue posh alcoholic beverage :)

oh God, that all sounds soooo good! For the first time since before Christmas I really, really fancied a nice glass of cold chablis... but none in the fridge, so I stuck to my sparkling water instead... only another 30 weeks or so to go....

Lol, I've been eating the odd poached runny eggs (lion marked only). Too much smoked salmon, prawns and fish.

I have sneaked a mouthful of dhs beer or wine from time to time as well.

I am putting the baby in the bath and leaving her there whilst I have my coffee. It is slightly possible she will drown but probably not so ok then.

Yep you certainly can compare having a runny egg to drowning your child in the bath

Nothing wrong with smoked salmon or steaks in pregnancy, am I missing something?

Foof, I think they've changed the guidelines to say no undercooked meat or raw fish.

I had salmonella while pregnant, first trimester.
They told me that I'd have has to have been on a drip before the foetus would have been threatened.....i was very far from that.

There is a difference between listera, high mercury content, and organ meat all of which can cause defects and brain damage (therefore a strict nono). Ive avoided all those risky foods.....

We are overly neurotic as a generation. They didnt give a shit in the seventues with their prawn marie roses, fags and cinzanos, and we are all ok!

Oh, sydlexic, I really hope you meant that comment to be funny because that's the best laugh I have had all day

(Ps - not pg at the moment, just intrigued by the thread title, but I ate lion-stamped poached eggs the whole way through, had the odd glass of wine, and ate pretty rare steak at Christmas. Good for you OP!)

Haha, I'm glad everyone has the odd enjoyment now and then . It's kind of nice that the smallest things can make you so fullfilled eh. Foof - Nooo wasn't suggesting there was anything wrong, there's just a lot of dos and don'ts and raw fish/steak etc always seem to come up. I've carried on eating things like that, but just wanted to share my mad Saturday night hehe x

Smoking kills, I'm sure the smoking kills anything nasty in the salmon. I have eaten at least my own bodyweight in smoked salmon and prawns over the last 38 weeks, and hugely enjoyed every mouthful of it.

Smoked salmon is allowed now, although it was banned in my last pregnancy. I've eaten packets of the stuff.

I can't bring myself to have a rare steak though, even though I'd really love one. Don't know why as I'm not bothered about runny eggs etc. maybe I should just go for it?

I'm just a coffew junkie! I have tried to limit myself my decaf but its not the same - I have to have my cup if coffeeof a morning at work! Or a can of coke. Or god forbid both if I'm feeling wild :D not sure about alcohol as I'm torn between conflicting advice, but I will no doubt have a shandy on my 21st birthday next week hehe
