i tend to go with what the expert tells me whether it's an md or a quantum physicist because they have far greater training and expertise in their fields than i do. if your ob doc says it's ok for your wife to have caffeine sushi and a drink then i would tend to rely on that advice. however the larger issue here is: when is it appropriate to question a physician? the answer: anytime! it's not unusual to leave the doctor's office and later feel conflicted or unsettled by what you've been told. and it's perfectly fine to call your doctor's office back to express your conflicted feelings and ask for clarification. doctors don't mind this. at least good caring doctors don't. if you want to be perfectly safe your wife can err on the side of caution and avoid caffeine sushi and alcohol. just because the doctor said she "could" consume them doesn't mean she "must" consume them. make sense? best wishes with the pregnancy!
i've heard conflicting opinions. 7 weeks of pregnancy what should my wife avoid eating and drinking? . we just had our first appointment and the md said it was ok for her to have caffeine sushi and a drink as long as it was in moderation. thoughts
