[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg 17:42....big difference between being told to avoid deli meat and avoid booze. Wow. Just wow.[/quote] Really? Because I think these are two of the biggest sources of stress for women. You're told to avoid deli meat just in case it has listeria. But you're way more likely to get listeria from veggies. So the risk is minimal, although pretty damn significant if it happens. With alcohol, there is a so much evidence that having a drink from time to time is not a big deal, but people flip out about it all the time. Our mothers were encouraged to have a glass of wine. Some OB's and midwives still encourage it now for irritable uterus. And yet, there continue to be people who act like having a glass of wine is this awful, selfish act and a sign of addiction. I microwaved my deli meat and only had 3 glasses of wine during my pregnancy. It's possible to take some precautions and be thoughtful about your choices. [/quote]
