Yes, you can. And it’s delicious.

There’s something about being pregnant that suddenly makes everyone around you a food cop. One minute you’re craving sushi, and the next your co-worker Karen is dramatically gasping like you tried to eat a swordfish sashimi off the floor.

But here’s the tea: pregnancy doesn’t mean boring food. It just means you’ve got to remix your faves like the culinary genius you are. That burger? You can have it. That runny egg? There's a way. That soft cheese? Yes, queen. And that sushi roll? We’ve got options.

“You’re not banned from joy. Just invited to level up your snack game.”

Let’s Bust the Myths, Babe

Contrary to popular opinion (and outdated forums), pregnancy isn’t a culinary prison. With a few tweaks and safety upgrades, you can still indulge in your food faves without feeling like you’re chewing on cardboard sadness.

• Microwave them until steaming or serve them hot in a toasty wrap
• Grilled turkey panini with pesto = certified safe and sexy
