Mercury from pollution of waterways, which has entered the food chain. In Australia, they suggest not eating top-of-food-chain fish like tuna more than once a week. They said to substitute chicken instead. (yeah, I just found out that comes in a can next to the tuna in Wal-Mart!) And, cut back on salty foods. As everybody knows, or should know by now, too much salt in your diet durring pregnancy can result in Toxemia or Preclampsia. As mentioned by others, salt has nothing to do with pre-eclampsia. Toxaemia is the *old* name for the condition, btw.

this can't be true...
Hey everyone!
It seems like a while before I have been able to get on. Really it's only been 2 days! But thanks for keeping up with my conversations =) All the advice is greatly appreciated! Still no extra pounds on my little body, but I'm not as concerned now. Thanks =) I have a Dr appointment tomorrow, so I'll make sure to bring up some these things to him to see what he thinks. Maybe I'll get a new ultra-sound picture that I can post. Hopefully everything is fine... He wasn't very active yesterday. I only felt him kick in the morning, and the rest of the day he was pretty relaxed. I'll keep you all updated, as I hope you will with me too =) Happy Memorial Day! - enjoy your day off if you get it! Ash |

ipinchibite wrote: I just thought I would spread this little bit of information, but I'm not sure if I believe it or not... My husband was watching the news the other morning while we were getting ready for work. They usually have a topic for preg mom's and expecting daddy's, mostly about dieting, and nutrition, sleep patterns etc... This particular topic was about 'stress durring pregnancy' which, I have found out there is plenty to go around with all of these hormones and such. I don't pay much attention to the tv while getting ready, and I wish I would have this time. My husband stated to me while I was unloading the dishwasher, that the news said that pregnant women who stress more durring their pregnancy, have smarter babies. Could that really be true? I wish I would have been paying attention so I knew more about it, but I didn't. If it is, my baby will be a genius. I haven't been stressed about this pregnancy, but the last 8 months have been pretty much the most stressful of my life, including when I was writing my dissertation which I was convinced was the most stressed I would ever be. Between my work being insane and demanding, and trying to restore our 1890s Victorian so we have one room complete (and safe) before baby comes, and a million other demands, I've been incredibly stressed, despite my best efforts to relax. I don't think it's good for the baby, it's not good for *me*! |

I wish I would have been paying attention so I knew more about it, but I didn't. It's not about smartness, but I remember a documentary I watched that made a connection with pregnant stress and later development. It was a doc about the structural differences between men's and women's brains, and when they got to the topic of homosexual men, they stated that there seemed to be a statistical link between women who experienced *extreme* stress (women in London during the Blitz) during pregnancy whose sons grew up to be gay. Something about the dumping of massive adrenaline during the time when the fetus was developing from "might as well be a girl" to definitely male. (Please, let's not bring any "gay approval" issues up about this, I just immediately thought of it when this topic was mentioned.) -- Cheri Stryker mom to DS1 - 7 years, and DS2 - 3 months |

I didn't hear anything like that. That is quite interesting though! My stress level has gone up and down. It changes with different days and events. Today's a pretty stressful day. Me and the Hubby aren't getting along, and I have work today, after having the last 2 off. I'm sure things will blow over with me and Dustin, but work is something i'm not really modivated to do today. Dr Apt went very well. I have a lack of Iron, but he just put me on a slow desolving supplement. Found out what the weirdo pain was in my right side. Ribs are spreading, and pushing my stomach and liver up into my chest. All because the baby is sitting really high, and up close to the surface. (Thanks for hurting mommy Seth!!) Other than that, everything is fine. He's perfectly healthy, and where he's supposed to be for 23.5 weeks. Have a great day everyone. I'll be keeping in touch! Ash -- Cheri Stryker mom to DS1 - 7 years, and DS2 - 3 months |

Karen wrote: ah well my son might well turn out to be gay then. Whatever, there are far worse things he could turn out to be. karen Yeah, that's true that he could end up worse... But, I did a study in college about Homosexuality, deciding on if it was environmental, or in the brain. Although this study has never been proven by scientists, there are always theories, and opinions on the matter. After I took the initiative to research it, and write my report on it, I have come to believe that homosexuality does develop in the brain before the child is born, and it is environment/situations that trigger it. On top of that, I would have to say that I believe that every human is born with this same trait in their brain to become homosexual, and the environment and/or situations make it more evident. That could explain today's homosexuality boom. It is alot more publicly acceptable now-adays to be homosexual than it was 10-20 years ago. And because it is more acceptable, the environment and situations have changed, causing more people to accept homosexuality as their way of living. I would also like to express my thoughts on this, before a conflict comes out. I DO NOT have anything againts homosexuals, or their way of living. I don't want anybody to think that all of a sudden I am against it, and have judgements placed on me for it. Also with that, I do not want you to think that I support gay rights, or an activist in any manner. I am neutral with the debate, and can understand both sides. I feel, that it is not my way of living, and I prefer the opposite sex. On the other hand, I do have many gay friends whom I love to death. It's like having male-girlfriends, guys to go shopping with! And, my older brother just came out last year as of being homosexual. I love him just the same, and support him on what makes him happy. I just thought I would make that clear. Please don't start accusations towards me for this... Ash |
