What won't you do?

So yesterday I was mowing the lawn with a riding mower, but the whole time i'm thinking "I'm really getting bumped around a lot - maybe I shouldn't be doing this" even tho my RE said it was no issue - all he said was "just don't fall off"... so I ended up stopping with the lawn only half cut and I don't think i'll cut the lawn again - it can be a DH job - even tho i really enjoy it.  Maybe it's silly but I just don't want to risk it

Are there anythings that your RE/OBGYN/Midwife have said are perfectly fine that you still won't do?

My midwife didn't give me any restrictions so I originally did what I needed to do.  I pressure washed the deck a month ago and fell down the stairs.  Everything is ok and I STILL have the bruise on my butt.  I look at tasks much differently now - if there is a chance or a possibility I will hurt myself or my baby, I ask hubby to take care of the task.  It's better to be safe than sorry.

Nope, I trust my doctor. If she says its OK, I'm not going to torture myself thinking up reasons why it might not be. She is a heck of a lot more experienced with pg than I am!

I avoid putting gas in the car when ever possible & DH does it instead. Don't like to breath in all those vapors while pregnant (Living in CA so they have all the warning about damage to unborn child everywhere).

I didn't eat frozen food (or anything too cold) for the first 10 weeks of my pregnancy even though RE said it was perfectly fine. It was one of those things I read somewhere and wanted to be more "safe than sorry". Of course the advice said nothing cold for the first trimester, but with MS and the only thing sounded good being popsicles, I lasted only to 10 weeks.
