TB gives stupid advice

Reality check: With all the “eat this, not that” advice you get during pregnancy, it's easy to sometimes over-obsess about every little thing you come into contact with. But aside from the biggies like raw meat, seafood, unpasteurized milk or cheese, and of course booze, there aren’t too many things that are way off-limits. Even caffeine – commonly touted as unsafe during pregnancy – is still allowed in moderate doses. So don’t stress too much about food dos and don’ts. As long as you keep a generally balanced and healthy diet, and are aware of what's in your food before eating, baby should be A-okay.


Also: If you don’t know what kind of nail polish your salon uses, consider bringing along your own bottle of DBP-free for your mani-pedi.


Another big issue with deodorant (especially the kind that’s an antiperspirant too) is that the aluminum-based compounds that prevent you from becoming a sweaty mess are believed by some to be potentially cancer-causing. More research needs to be performed on the subject, but that’s pretty scary! The major problem with that? The aluminum really works to keep you from sweating! We tried out a bunch of different natural deodorants on the market and are sad to say it was tough to find anything that kept us as dry and smell-free.

Anyone else remember the PETS ARE BAD FOR PREGNANCY AND BABIES!1!!!!11!! article?

Who writes this crap?
(I'm in a cranky mood in case you couldn't tell ;))

    I unsubscribed a long time ago.  I'm glad I did, if this is the kind of stuff they're sending out.

    You're baby should be A-OK! That's sound medical advice right there!

    Also deodorant with aluminum hasn't been shown to have any link to cancer. Even if it did I don't want to be that sweaty smelly pregnant lady anymore than the hormones are already making me, LOL
