I agree but I have had some bad news myself and I do believe no matter what you do what will be will be ? so just do and eat what you want in moderation and be grateful everyday of your pregnancy as you never know what's around the corner ?

You can eat ice cream it has to be store bought not home made same with mayo salad cream coleslaw you can eat most things except fish be careful with fish x

My oldest son is 16. I'm preggo with #6 (well, #7.... This is my rainbow baby!) I craved hot dogs with one, subway ham & cheese with another. With my daughter all I wanted was tuna casserole. And I indulged every craving. I had successful pregnancies, and the kids are all healthy and have no disabilities. I had ultra sounds on a bi-weekly basis (for 5 months!) with my twins and they also turned out just fine! I think a lot of these "restrictions" are a farce.

I'm on baby number 4 and not once was I ever told not to have this or that etc.....I eat whatever I want whenever I want and do my hot baths and showers daily and always have in pregnancy.

I drink diet ginger ale which contains aspertaime. Aspertaime has been linked with heart disease. I don't want to drink regular because of all the sugar, I don't want to get gestational diabetes.

My ds is 2 1/2 and we think he might be autistic. Early childhood intervention tested him and agree. We are waiting on an official diagnosis from a specialist. It takes six months to get in to see them. I religiously avoided anything that could harm him while pregnant. I still stress about everything. I can't take the thought of going through this again. Thank you for sharing.

I'd steer clear of the ice cream they have recalled. Certain things are just crazy. Like sleeping close to your cell phone can cause cancer.

My son is functionally autistic. I did everything I was supposed to be doing and he still has it. They aren't sure what causes it or exactly how to prevent it either.

Ginger ale isn't bad for you though? It doesn't even have caffeine in it. I drink a can everyday to help with my sickness. I dry heave a lot and have a hard time eating. Ginger ale is the only thing that really helps me.

I have been so sick lately, the only thing I can stomach is ginger ale. The baby's father complains (while he is drinking alcohol in front of me), "you should stop drinking the ginger ale it's bad for the baby" - it's like I gave up alcohol, coffee, quit smoking... Now you want me to give up ginger ale too? Enough is enough!

I agree. With my first four it wasn't so bad but it seems in the more recent years they have added more and more things to the list of things pregnant women can't eat or can't do. It's crazy.
