 [ Symptoms ] i have 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 [ Disease ] i tend to go with what the expert tells me whether it is 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 is 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 is not unusual to leave the doctor is office and later feel conflicted or unsettled by what you have been told and it is perfectly fine to call your doctor is office back to express your conflicted feelings and ask for clarification doctors do not mind this at least good caring doctors do not 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 does not mean she must consume them make sense best wishes with the pregnancy
