In case you all missed the memo here are some things you should avoid while pregnant...
- soft cheeses
- hot dogs
- sushi
- soft serve ice cream
- sperm
- raw chicken
- red meat
- soda
- coffee
- tea
Am I missing anything? We wouldn't want anyone else to be surprised when trolling the internet.

Re: WARNING: THINGS YOU SHOULDN'T CONSUME WHILE PREGNANT
Smiling is also something you should avoid, as is any sense of humor. Both are extremely difficult to handle while pregnant.
Oh, and basically any fruits or vegetables that are raw, or grown outside, as they could also contain the awful listeria.

Deli Meat! Duh!
And eggplant or pineapple....unless you're full term, cuz, you know, it might induce labor.
ETA for spelling!
Oh my! So needed that
Sometimes the boards can get so negative and preachy - I thought it was real at first
Damn. Off to find something else for dinner.
Artificial sweeteners (your baby may have 3 heads!!!!)
Peanut Butter or Peanuts (your baby may go for realz into anaphyalactic shock in utero)
Lasagne (b/c you know - there is totes ricotta cheese in there, yo!)
Oh, and don't use your microwave for ANYTHING.

Sprouts.. definitely sprouts.
Also, you shouldn't watch things on TV like "Swamp People" or "My Strange Addiction"- the baby may come out just like them because they were exposed to it in utero. You should only watch things like Harry Potter or the Avengers so they at least come out with magical super-human abilities. Word.
Wrong. As I responded in the Deli meat thread smoking cigarettes suffocates the bacteria in the stomach.
my doctor said that tobacco is fine, but I should cut back on the booze.
... and the crack.

oh geeze, i'm sure i've had all of those.... except for sushi (sigh) and soft serve ice cream, (but that's cause my husband works for blue bell and we get the good stuff! haha)
lets be real... i work at sbux and the key to eating pregnant is moderation. i know my mom wasn't obsessive with her diet and none of my siblings had two heads....
That pic in your siggy cracks me up!!
Actually...on a not-very-serious-serious note...

"The present study shows that oral sex and swallowing sperm is correlated with a diminished occurrence of preeclampsia"
Haha.

Swallowing before could cause a baby in your throat, but now it could cause a baby in the baby's throat! bad news man... bad news!
Crap, that really, almost, made me want to put a damper on some of our "fun". I guess the next time I'm not feeling in the mood I could always use this with DH? Unfortunately he'll just remind me that I'm not much of a swallower. BTW - This thread is ridiculously funny!!!
Nono, the whole point of the article is that swallowing is GOOD for you! It reduces your risk of pre-e! So don't decrease your fun, and you're SOL for an excuse ;-)
You forgot to say how if you happen to consume one of these things that all you have to do is post a "I decided to eat ________ and now I'm worried" post and all of your baby's extra appendages grown from eating _____ will go away.
