I've been reading that taking tylenol in moderation is okay, and then I see some articles that taking it so early in is not goodz. I had a KILLER heachache today and took one tab and feel much better :) Just wondered what all your thoughts were on taking it from time to time...

    Tylenol is 100% fine, just don't exceed the rec'd daily dose.  I took it at least 2 days a week, probably, I got awful headaches when I was pregnant.

    To be completely honest with you... I drank a can of coke every single day, ate anything I wanted(cheese, lunchmeat, sushi), had about 10 glasses of wine during my 2nd and 3rd trimesters, and even two sips of margarita late in my 3rd tri... and my baby is one of the calmest, happiest, best behaving babies that I've ever seen. Obviously do whatever you (and your DH and Dr) think is best, but don't stress out about every little thing.  You'll be a better Mom if you are happier and relax a little.

    I agree with everything Jen said. I haven't had alcohol or sushi, but a lot of other things they say not to I have and we're fine. I know a lot of people that stress over what they can and can't do and well, you're still going to get the same result as far as I'm concerned. As long as you're not an alcoholic or chain smoker, I think you're good. :)

    I can't swallow pills so I eat 9 childrens bubble gum tylenols...they actually taste really good.

    I also drink diet coke, coke zero, and sprite a couple times a week. Its soo delicous after drinking water and tea all day. . haven't drank any acohol, but i really wanted a conswella (I know I spelled that wrong) but a big clay bowl filled with mixed liquor and fruit. hmmmm.

    Ugh I am getting tired of just water and milk. I bought some cran-razz juice yesterday and Limeade right at this moment is sounding awfully good to me, too.

    When do you start to crave things?

    I started craving things asap.  I was going through rootbeer like no other when I was very first preg.  Didn't even know I was preg, but I just couldn't get enough root beer in a glass with ice!  MMm sounds good!!
