Why don’t each just go live in a big bubble away from everyone and everything so we can all be safe all the time!

Seriously – why can’t we just live our lives like normal human beings?

Bad things happen occasionally. There is NOTHING we can do about it!

Geez!

Here's a few articles about some of them. My doc told me 25 lbs, but I just kinda threw that out the window. <br/><br/>http://pregnancy.about.com/od/nutritioninpregn/qt/peanutbutter.htm<br/><br/>http://www.amazingpregnancy.com/weekbyweek/foods.html<br/><br/>http://www.babycentre.co.uk/pregnancy/lookinggood/wardrobe/highheelsexpert/<br/><br/>The other stuff, I was just told here and there.

She said that it's not "recommended" but people who try to get rid of their pregnancies can't end them by heavy lifting so I shouldn't worry about it. <br/><br/>I heard about smoking - that makes sense, coffee - I think it's only a problem with decaf or excessive amounts of regular. I have never heard about heels, cheese (eat it ALL the time), strawberries (WHY?!), nuts (i eat them by the handful), fish - I heard not more than a few times a week -- and not sleeping on your belly? I have never heard that - actually I heard do it while you can!!<br/><br/>I think the peanut thing is more for babies and toddlers, not for pregnancy. The article you quoted spoke about infancy, not pregnancy.<br/><br/>And I agree completely, moderation in everything -- if we only drink coffee, or eat fish and peanut butter, well, you can expect problems - just like if we only ate lettuce and apples!<br/><br/>Moderation and variety - a winning combination! WHAT?!
