1. You know that your two-year-old likes chicken, spinach, peas, potatoes and bread so you assume she'll love them all even more when they're combined in Indian food. You would be WRONG. Next time you head out for that particular cuisine, you'd better come armed with a sack of kid-friendly chicken nuggets and french fries.
2. You've been feeling better since your first trimester passed and assume your pregnant body could handle something as complex, yet delicious, as Indian food. You would be WRONG. The remnants of Hurricane Indian are still passing over your battered insides and you're sleep-deprived from trying to weather the violent and all-night storm created by chicken tikka masala and sag paneer. Indian food + slow-moving pregnant digestive track = NOT A GOOD IDEA.
Oh, my two favorites! (OK, now you have me hankering for some Indian, but I'm sure you don't need to hear that.)
My pregnancy undoing -- over and over again -- was pizza with canadian bacon and jalepenos.

That doesn't sound like a good Indian experience at all!
I made the same mistake with nachos with melted chees. WAY to fat for my pregnant me.
