True Confession Tuesday

Surrounded by child-carriers, every day I learn about some new thing you can’t eat or do. Were these always the rules? Do we have that much more information now? Or have we just gotten more insane?

I’ll be honest here. When pregnant, I am probably going to eat unpasteurized cheese and have a glass of wine. My mother did, I’m fine (insert “or are you?” comment here)…

And I’m willing to bet the guilt and stress about using nail polish that one time is more harmful to your little bean than letting yourself live. 

I figure as long as you avoid crack and jumping on trampolines you’re in the clear.

  3. kismet-maybe said: Feeling this. I think one of the things I’m most confused/angry about is that my pregnant friend told me lunchmeat is off limits now. Unless microwaved. Feeding a fetus cold lunchmeat < feeding it micro waves? I can’t understand it.

  6. everydayk said: Dude, my mom got into a car accident when she was preg with me… that’s how she found out I was to-be-of-life. And I’m pretty much 100% awesome, besides the club foot. That was a joke. Or…. WAS it?

  8. dearbaby said: I think they’ve created these “no-no lists” because some people are idiots & don’t have common sense or understand moderation. So to protect the babies of those mothers, they put the fear of God in all of us.
