Foods to Avoid

[bertine]

The list of foods to avoid while pregnant is insane. Between the "offical" list and all the internet rumors it seems like you can't eat anything. Not that I am paying too much attention to these lists.

BTW, one of the items on the internet rumors list? Pinneapples. WTH?

Women in Europe (and also here) are encouraged to drink small amounts of alcohol when pregnant, half a glass of wine twice a week. Emel did this all through her pregnancy on the advice of her doctor.

I think most of these pregnancy rules are make-it-up-as-you-go-along. Ask one doctor, get one set of answers; ask another doctor, get another set.

I haven't wanted to drink at all. I just feel sort of hungover so it hasn't been a problem to avoid it. However, I might drink a little later on.


I totally agree, there isn't enough studies to tell you the facts and no one is going to do studies on pregnant women.
