[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:51, I just reread my question and I don't see where I'm "spazzing out." I asked a question of those who had experience with Wisdom about how understanding or not they were about the first trimester difficulties with a good diet. My diet is important to me, so yes, I do lament the fact that I can't eat the best way I want to eat. But specifically, I asked if the diet was a guideline or strict. So what, exactly is wrong with posting a question about it? Also, PP said "quit whining about being asked to put down the mcdonalds" and lectured about diet. Why unload that on me or give me the you are what you eat lecture as if I'm complaining about it? That criticism was misplaced, and I don't think I'm spazzing. But hey, whatever. It probably is getting spazzy to keep responding to nitpickers here, so carry on and I'll do the same. [/quote]

Uh, you said you were a little bit afraid of an appointment and were considering lying to your care providers and wondering if you'd be kicked out for, basically, having first trimester nausea.  Don't get me wrong, I think Wisdom brings some of the paranoia on themselves, but come on, do you really think that medical providers who work specifically with pregnant women would act that way? Can you imagine expecting that sort of treatment from any other medical provider???

Oy. I didn't say I was going to lie, I believe I said "I wouldn't want to have to lie." And [b]I"m not fretting that I'll get kicked out for having nausea, that's ridiculous[/b]. Their website presents the diet as "eat this, do not eat that" not, here's some advice to take or leave. So yes, I've seen some of the reports of women being scolded for their diets, and it was something I was thinking about leading up to my first appointment because my diet does not look like their recommended diet, at all, right now, although it does generally. Anyway, I called and asked someone there and am very satisfied with the response I got. And no, PP, I do not believe that medical providers working with pregnant women *should* act that way, but that's not the same thing as knowing if they would act that way. Anyway, the first few responses and the answer from Wisdom is just fine for me. I think people are reacting more to all the other posts about wisdom and getting all defensive on their behalf when there wasn't even any criticism of it by me. Sorry if it's annoying that people ask questions on a board for questions. :) [/quote]

This is a total dead horse and I don't really care as much as my replying woul dindicate...but hon, re the bolded, I do feel the need to point out that you DID IN FACT say:

Will I get kicked out because I can't keep the "good" food down?

If that's not fretting it's a pretty fine line. :)

What's ironic is I think it's Wisdom's fault for creating this dynamic at all and I don't fault you or anyone else for it--as I said I went through the exact same uncertainty about how to take them. It was actually all the DCUM threads saying "nah they just say that, it's a guideline" that put me at ease enough to go with them anyway.
