Apparently this would be the safest choice for pregnant women.
I'm a big fan of safety and minimizing risks. Particularly when the risks involve children or potential children.
But COME ON, PEOPLE!
No caffeine.
No deli meat or hot dogs.
No alcohol.
No artificial sweeteners.
No sushi.
No soft cheeses.
No smoked meats.
No sprouts.
No unripe papaya.
No Caesar salad.
No tuna or other high mercury fish.
No peanuts.
No Chinese food (MSG).
No shrimp cocktail.
Don't eat too many refined carbs.
Don't go too crazy with the fruit juice.
Avoid salt.
Gain weight, but NOT TOO MUCH!
Exercise, but DON'T OVER-EXHERT YOURSELF!
Don't get a sunburn!
Be cautious about OTC meds!
Get calcium, but DON'T drink full fat milk!
Don't lay on your back!
Don't lay on your tummy!
(And this is NOT a comprehensive rant...there's MUCH more)
Who can live up to these expectations?
Yes, I ate a king size MilkyWay. Yes, I eat sushi sometimes, and not just the cooked kind. Yes, I take Tylenol Allergy Sinus when my head hurts. Yes, I FREAKING LOVE grape juice. And YES, I did take a tiny sip of my husband's beer the other night!
I'm a flawed human being!
THE PRESSURE!!!
