1. Pasteurized eggs, for sunny side up eggs, fresh Caesar dressing or to sample your cookie dough! Davidson’s pasteurized eggs are available at Whole Foods.

2. Missing sushi? Certain seafood has to be cooked in sushi by regulation. I like crab sushi. Eel sushi also has to be cooked. Ask first to avoid cross-contamination with other uncooked fish! Also make sure to get them without fish eggs, which are not cooked.

3. Wear a belly band to keep exercising. Try different styles to see what is most comfortable for you. I ran up to (and including) the day my son was born!

4. Filling up too fast to get in your nutrients? Struggling with heartburn? Eat small meals and snacks, with liquids separate from meals. 

5. Limit mint and peppermint flavors, teas, mints and leaves to reduce heartburn. Also stay upright for 30 minutes after eating.

6. Avoid Green Tea, which interferes with folate metabolism. Decaf counts too. Black tea should also be consumed in limited amounts. Instead have roobios tea, fruit tea, or ginger tea. Ginger tea can even help with nausea!
