20-1-2009 - Fruit Confusion!

My mood while writing this blog:
Argh!

OK I need help before I go completely insane!

Firstly, I dont eat dried fruit or nuts, just the thought of them makes my throat close up, I have never liked them, and no one in this world, with a large packed of cash will get me to eat them! However I do eat all veg (except celery *puke*) and most fresh fruit (except oranges, as it would take me a good two hours, to pick all the white stuff off!) (God I'm fussy LOL)

However, today I read that you are not meant to eat Grapes or Papaya, no explanation was given as too why, and I cant find the page anymore Grrr!

Does anyone know the reason, if there is one! I am been driven slowly crazy, as I feel, all the do's and dont's are limiting what I can have, and at this rate I will be giving up food all together (which clearly isnt a great idea!) Oh and what did I have today!! Yep a Papaya yogurt, and grapes!!!

PLEASE HELP ME IN MY FRUIT CONFUSION :O(

Just to let you know that I have been looking at some 'healthy menu' options for thoroughout pregnancy and this includes alot of snack options that refer to 'a handful of grapes' as a good snack.

Hope this helps. No concern at all in eating them

There are so many do's and dont's you will read all over the internet. While there are some things you should try to avoid while pregnant you have to watch what you read on the internet because you never know who published it and where the information is coming from and it can really freak you out.

My suggestion is to talk to your midwife have her go over some of the do's and dont's and give you some books or links to information that might prove to be helpful.

I know you have an appointment this friday as we are pregnancy twins lol so let me know how it goes and I will update you as well

Im so fed up with the do and don't to be honest, Ive given up even reading them. All im doing is cutting back on caffeine and not smoking or drink alchol. Other then that i hate fish and pate, but love grapes and intend to eat the whole van.

The best thing is to not read then theres no worry, your baby is nearly past the developing stages and therefore should be fine.

Hope what i say don't piss ya off because i have a tendency to shoot off my mouth and then think later.

Wow, interesting...I would have never guessed. I'm sure you're fine--so PLEASE don't worry yourself about it. I am glad you mentioned it though, and glad others had the answer!

hi hun, I have not seen that myself. I am just going by what the food standards agency website says, and I dont remember them saying anything about fruit. you see the midwife on Friday, might be worth asking her x x
