Starting to get a little overwhelmed

So I picked up a copy of Fit Pregnancy yesterday-- and I cannot believe HOW MUCH crap we need to look out for. What we should and shouldn't do. What we put in/on/around our bodies and babies.

It's all so much!!

I consider myself a health and environment conscious person and I still feel overwhelmed by everything.

It's stressing me out.

Re: Starting to get a little overwhelmed

I just go by what my doctor tells me to stay away from.

Its wierd because years ago people drank, smoked and ate whatever and there was none of this " dont eat this and watch out for that, etc" My mom smoked with all 4 kids and we are all fine.

Re: Starting to get a little overwhelmed

I just try and use common sense when it comes to what I eat and do while pregnant. Sometimes I think all the information out there is a bad thing..........it tends to freak you out unnecessarily. People have been giving birth for hundreds of thousands of years and 99% of the time everything is fine from conception to birth. I can't stress every detail, I will make myself crazy. I am doing what I can to be safe and healthy and that's all I can do.

I went crazy at first too, then the MS set in and I was just trying to survive! No I just try to use common sense, though I think I flubbed up a couple of times.
