I am not ashamed to say I ate EVERYTHING on this list , have 3 perfectly health kids. Literally, pregnancy might as well be a giant long list of things you CANT do. But this is a bit misleading. Even Drs will say you CAN eat lunch meat if you heat it to STEAMING. However, I don’t and ate it cold. My first one, lunch…

In Germany, at least in Bavaria, they used to recommend dark beer for pregnant women because of all the nutrients, and even gave out prescriptions so they could get it at practically no cost. Not that it wasn’t literally cheaper than water already. At the time 1 liter of bottled water cost more than 1 liter of bottled…
It’s a weird American hangup, which is funny because the U.S. has one of the highest maternal/neonatal fatality rates in the world. There are billions of people in the world who eat all of these things and more and manage to give birth to health kids. People in our society love to tell pregnant women what they should…
From a currently pregnant person: I highly recommend the book “Expecting Better” ( https://www.amazon.com/Expecting-Better-Conventional-Pregnancy-Wrong/dp/0143125702/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483296292&sr=8-1&keywords=expecting+better) . It’s written by an economist who got pregnant, heard all the shit she wasn’t…
What happens? Almost certainly nothing. I’m a huge proponent of judiciously filtering through the pregnancy food hysteria and doing as you damn well please. Be smart with your food sources, but if you want a deli meat sub, then by all means have one, and look the haters in the eye while you slowly bite and chew. Other…
Preach. After paying attention to reported listeria outbreaks for the past two years I feel 100% comfortable eating cheese and lunch meat whenever I want. Also coffee and, gasp, a half a glass of wine occasionally. Oh, and I also go in the hot tub sometimes.
Not really worth the risk albeit however low it may be.
My most sincere congratulations to you, Kelly! Also, thank you for reminding me that I shall never reproduce. No cheese for nine months? OUTTIE 5000.
What happens if you’re pregnant and decide to keep eating all of these things? (OK, not booze, not drugs of any kind, and light on the caffeine.) Using common sense, what happens if you decide to say fuck it, I’m eating whatever I want? I look at my pregnant friend and the way everyone around her seems to keep remind…
And entirely possible!
Luann finds Sonja blowing Tom on the eve of her (upcoming) wedding. That would be epic!
If I were a Real Housewife, I would want to have fights with the following:
This would be funny if it weren’t another extremely tired Bill Clinton slam. Conway wasn’t aiming for humor here.
“I don’t play golf and I don’t have a mistress.”
She’s a bleach-blonde shit-filled Slim Jim masquerading as a human being...but I LOL’d hard at that quasi-shady response.
Jesus fucking Christ. What the fuck is this shit? I stopped watching that “Designated Survivor” show because it was truly awful, but can we just nuke D.C. now? Please make sure they’re all there first.
WHAT do we tell our kids about this?????
Best Christmas card I’ve encountered was a friend with a bratty 4-year old daughter who melted down for all the Christmas pics, so the Christmas card was basically hilarious crying pictures. I don’t know, maybe I’m evil, but it fucking slayed me.
