Congrats to nicole, she looked pretty on GMA. I think she will have a son.

I’m going to go out on a limb here, I’m pregnant, due in mid-October, and I eat sushi. I eat ALL of it, not just the cooked stuff. The reason they say no sushi is because they’re worried about bacterial infections, but most sushi is made with sushi grade fish which is flash frozen, and completely safe. Of course, you have to practice discretion, I’ve been to places where the sushi looks dry or slimy, and obviously you don’t want to eat that, but if the fish looks moist and is the right color, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with eating it, pregnant or not. Sushi is also packed with fantastic omega-3s, and a diet rich in fish is being linked to higher IQ’s in babies, so rock on with the sushi Nicole!

My sister was in Japan and asked some women what they eat during pregnancy and they said noodles, so I guess even Japanese women give up on raw fish during pregnancy. I ate tons of California rolls when I was pregnant, so I can understand Nicole’s craving. Even if she does eat raw fish, the chances of anything happening to her are pretty low – especially since she probably eats sushi at only really high end places who have fresh fish and don’t leave it hanging around unrefrigerated.

I, myself, wouldn’t eat the raw stuff while pregnant, but I do think people get a little unnecessarily crazy about things they will/won’t eat while pregnant. To each her own.

I watched the interview. I don’t think I saw the whole thing but it pissed me off when Nicole said she didn’t think that marijuana and vicodin wouldn’t impair her driving. What an idiot! I hope she learns from her mistakes before she has this child.

i watched part of the interview this morning and I can say she is looking really good right now. The extra weight suits her, definitely. Joel seems very doting and happy. I do hope it works out for them. I am guessing girl for her!

Sushi was my big pregnancy craving. Plenty of non-sashimi options to choose from. And as for books about what pregnant women should eat, I’ve been pissy for years about a certain best-selling pregnany series. (You can guess the McPregnancy book yourselves). Pregnant women should never eat Japanese food! Because everybody knows that all Japanese eat raw fish all the time, and Japanese people don’t have healthy babies.(yes, sarcasm, I shouldn’t assume that every reader will get that) Did you guys also notice the chapter about babies need ot be weened by 12 months in order to not scar them emotionally for life?

I wish her and Joel the best. Hopefully she has an uncomplicated pregnancy and birth. She’s due only a few weeks after me.

One thing I’ll say about Nicole…from what little I did see of the first Simple Life, she seemed really sweet with that little boy.

whats the point of eating sushi if its cooked?? Thats one thing im NOT looking forward to when pregnant. I cant go 5 day without it as it is!! mmmmmmm now i want some….mmmmmm

I agree with Preesi. My doctor told me I could eat sushi while pregnant as long as it’s cooked. I’m really good at guessing baby’s sexes and I think both Nicole and Christina will have boys.
