[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check out Wisdom's website.  They ask that you stick to their diet and be in "excellent" health.  There are a ton of threads about it in this forum.  Their goal is for you to stay low risk and they believe their diet will reduce the likelihood of GD and other complications.  [/quote]

Yes, but they are also humane about the first trimester. In a past thread a poster mentioned that Whitney said to try Coke as well as [b]turkey on white bread[/b] to help with nausea. Another midwife told me that I should eat whatever I could get down when suffering from nausea and morning sickness. [/quote]

I cannot imagine anything grosser than that if you are nauseated.  And high in salt.  Ugh.  And with Coke?  I don't understand how a practice that is so extreme can then go to the other extreme for the first tri.  Bizarre.[/quote]

Not PP but I think it's pretty clear that wisdom wasn't RECOMMENDING these things specifically, they were telling PP it was OK to do whatever she needed to get through a rough first trimester.  If you're lucky enough to never have suffered with morning sickness, you wouldn't understand the weird cravings and how disgusting regular healthy food can sound. Personally I think the cravings are your body telling you what it needs. If someone is a generally healthy eater before and after the first tri, she could drink coke and eat turkey on white everyday for 3 months and her baby would be absolutely fine. [/quote]
