On a crisp autumn evening, my friend Sarah and I sat down for dinner at our favorite Chinese restaurant. As the Peking Glazed Duck was served, Sarah, who was in her second trimester, gazed longingly at the dish, and asked, "Is it okay for me to indulge a little?" As an expectant mom, she knew the fine line between cravings and nutrition. This question isnβt rare; many moms-to-be are curious about their favorite dishes and pregnancy.
