[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two healthy kids. I ate sushi, RARE steaks, steak tartare, wine and lots of other yummy forbidden things. [/quote] +1 I have 2 healthy teens. I did all of this--but then, I'm not American. :)[/quote] [b]Yes, not American either and had all the cheese you are not supposed to, sushi, runny eggs (and sauces made with runny eggs), rare steak, cold cut sandwiches and a ton of coffee. DD is now a healthy, happy toddler with zero issues. Oh, and I had a horrifying stomach bug at 28 weeks which had me go to the ER, get meds, etc - the baby was just fine. If the crazy restrictions doctors in this country try to place on pregnant women were truly necessary, everyone in France (runny cheese, rare steak, not fully cooked eggs) and Japan (sushi) would have long died out.[/b][/quote] This exactly. I'm American but take a much more European approach toward pregnancy (eat deli meat, soft cheese, coffee, sushi, occasional wine, etc). Anxiety in pregnancy is much worse than any of the things listed above. People have got to stay off the internet more, keep things in perspective to how things were done 30+ years ago and are still done in other countries now. What I find so interesting, on another note, is that we have many more cases of learning issues/autism/developmental delays now than ever before and particularly in this country. And yet, we are the most paranoid about pregnancy and avoid things more than most other countries and certainly more than decades ago. Just a side note thought. [/quote]
