WHAT!?!?!?!?! Ridiculous! Thanks for sharing! :D I won't go with that one! ;)
I guess I need to brush up on what I can and can't eat or use..

With my pregnancy/M/C
I read pineapple wasn't good.. and I ate it in my salads because I couldn't find good strawberries.
pomegranate also not good.. and I used handsoap.
aloe vera!

I won't use it again.. even bought a lotion without it.

Yeah I'm probably being silly.. it was probably the thyroid and nothing else!

But Atomic I would love for you to put up an essay saying what you can and cannot do/eat while pregnant! ;)

Congrats!! I missed this somehow!

Oh and cinnamon... why is it bad? I had a sneaky cinnamon donut yesterday. Today is O day!

Thanks! :)

I'll bet you are fine. There's conflicting information on the web. Some places say it aids O!

Another question...about water. I HATE IT!

How much do you prego ladies drink?

Upon writing this I forced myself to guzzle almost a whole bottle!

Here's my favorite site's response so far! haha

Cinnamon for Fertility Myth or Reality | Sophisticated Edge

OMG YELLOW Is such a BEAUTIFUL Color.. sorry but after what I've been through, I just could not resist!
:)
:running:
I don't mean to purposely let you all know how often I pee, there's a reason for it!

LOL Butterfly...I bet yellow is a much better color than brown or red! totally understand, you crack me up :rofl:

I am glad it's getting better, and can't wait till the hcg goes up way high!!

Just for reassurance, cinnanom is one of those spices that you have to consume a pretty big amount to have any toxic effects. One cinn roll is surely OK, prob even two...the most you'll get out of the cinn roll that may be hurtful to you is constipaction! After I got my BFP, I resumed eating my oatmeal again, and guess what flavor it was? Cinn. and spice! Baby is very healthy and OK!

My only concern with the lunch meat is sodium nitrate is in most lunch meat, and that is supposedly a big no no for pregnancy. I didn't listen and consumed quite a bit of it for lunches when preg with DS2, and he's awesome and very smart, but he has a milk protein allergy and some issues with food allergies. I'm not blaming his allergies on the lunch meat per se, but I ate everything the same with both pregs, except the lunch meat with DS2. DS1 does not have a single food allergy--again, the lucnh meat is prob not to blame, but it does concern me to the point that I did not have anything with sodium nitrate this time just in case.....if my DS1 wants bacon, we buy the all natural organic bacon that is sodium nitrate free and even then I only have 1 slice, if that, because I'm so paranoid...

And I'm sure this is not helping either...lol, but I just wanted to share my experience with lunch meat with you.
