How old are u and why haven't u been to a doctor.  A doctor will tell ya what isn't safe.  Let's see, too much caffeine, Alcohol, smoking, and medication, lifting heavy things, stress, drugs, getting beat on by ur b/f, breathing in cleaners and I think I've covered everything.  I have three kids so I hope this helps  Also excessive will helps.  I jogged three miles a day and worked.  Just don't over do it.  But staying active is important and it will shorten the labor time.

I don't think so. It's awfully risky. I mean, a regular car is dangerous enough; an accident could cause a miscarriage. A motorcycle is even MORE dangerous. It's probably better than if it was done during the second or third trimesters, but I still wouldn't risk it.

it is not dangerous in any way except for that she can still get pregant from you while she is on her period. it wont harm you, and it wont harm her. just put down a towel, or better yet do it in a shower so that it does not get all over the place.

Most laxatives are safe to use when pregnant, but check with your doctor just to be sure.

Maybe it's a sign of pregnancy? It's known that that your immune system is lowered slightly during pregnancy in order to stop your body rejecting your unborn baby. This may mean that you are more vulnerable to infections, such as coughs, colds and flu.\n\nYou should never buy over-the-counter remedies without first checking with your GP or pharmacist that they are safe to take during pregnancy. Many aren't... but it's safe to take the recommended dose of paracetamol. However, you should avoid aspirin as it can affect your baby's development in the early weeks and, in late pregnancy, affect the onset and length of your labour. Ibuprofen, codeine and painkillers that contain a combination of drugs should be avoided, too.\n\nhttp://www.babycentre.co.uk/pregnancy/antenatalhealth/physicalhealth/coughdandcolds/

why would pregnant women have it any harder than non-pregnant or men?  Other than walking up and down the steps...

Just regular Tylenol (not Extra-Strength) is OK to take during pregnancy.  Advil is not good because it thins out your blood and can cause bleeding.  You might want to ask your doctor about using Oragel, as another answerer suggested, as sometimes topical agents pass through the placenta after it is absorbed by your body.

Do not take any homeopathic or over the counter meds or supplements except a basic vitamin pill without checking with your doctor first!\n\nTiny amounts of substances that are fine for us can create horrific birth defects or organ damage in a 2 week old fetus.\n\nYou'd never forgive yourself if your baby was born deformed or with a health problem.

1) more likely to have a miscarriage. \n\n2) the baby is more likely to die before birth. \n\n3) Smoking can cause placenta previa (Dangerous situation where the placenta covers the cervix.) \n\n4)It can cause a placental abruption (Where the placenta separates from the wall of the uterus denying all oxygen to your baby.) \n\n5)It increases the risk of a preterm birth.

Actually, the reason you aren't supposed to go in the hot tub when you are pregnant is because of the increase in body temperature that it causes.  It can be dangerous for a developing unborn baby.  It is safe to go swimming during pregnancy.

Not only is it safe, it is a necessity! While certain dental procedures may be postponed during pregnancy, a broken tooth is a dental emergency. Schedule a cleaning while you are there. Bacteria in your mouth can lead to infection, which can lead to preterm labor and heart disease!

While there is no evidence that a fetus is affected by its mothers' exposure to either the natural sun or indoor tanning equipment, a potential drawback to tanning during pregnancy may be the risk of the woman's body overheating. Pregnant women are cautioned to avoid prolonged sauna and whirlpool exposure due to the possible harm to the fetus from the rise in the woman's core body temperature. Core body temperature is the temperature of the blood as it is pumped from the heart, which normally ranges from 99 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Extended periods of sauna or whirlpool exposures or prolonged vigorous exercise may actually cause this temperature to rise. This rise in body temperature could result in developmental damage or possibly death to the fetus.

I asked a hairstylist this while my friend was pregnant.  She told me that the reason pregnant women are discouraged from coloring their hair has nothing to do with the baby, and the chemicals do not have an effect on your body.  It's because the hormones during pregnancy change the texture of your hair, and so dyes just don't tend to take as well.  So you'll spend a lot of money at the salon for a procedure that just won't be very successful.  It does not affect the safety of your baby.  Also, the dyes used today tend to be milder than the ones they probably used when your mother was pregnant!

Anything you take has the potential to affect your fetus. Some antacids are generally accepted as relatively safe to use while others are not. However, remember there has never be a study to determine if a given medicine is definitely safe or not during pregnancy in a thorough and rigorous manner. The best thing to do is to consult with your Obstetrician regarding which medications you can use if any, and even then, the less medication the better.
