    Watermelon is totally safe.  Just make sure the melon doesn't have any splits.

    Now I've heard it all!  Out of curiosity, I googled it (amazing what you can find out that way!) Turns out, there is a National Watermelon Promotion Board.

    <3. Just put yourself in a bubble.  Do not eat, drink, or touch ANYTHING for 9 months, longer if you plan to breastfeed.

    Have you seen your OB yet? Most will either give you a list of foods to avoid, or give you a reference for a book to read.  Stop listening to random stupid things & you will have a more relaxing 9 months.
