All pregnant women miss some foods and drink that are on the verboten
list such as sushi, wine and cold sandwiches. I miss those things too,
but I have an even longer list of “wish I could haves.” Here are just a
few I’ve been thinking about.
In addition to the raw fish aspect of sushi I can’t even work in a California roll because of the white rice that would spike my blood sugar. My mouth is watering just thinking of it. I also haven’t really been able to eat other Asian foods – Thai especially is too carb heavy, and I can manage Chinese if I just do steamed veggies and a non-fried meat dish (much less tasty than what I’m really craving – I’ll tell you that!).
