Is it safe to consume aerated drinks (with no caffeine) during pregnancy ?

Yes, it's safe.  However, pop can contain phosphoric acid, which can interfere with calcium absorption.  The fetus would be fine, but the mother might suffer weaker bones if she consumed a lot of pop.\n\nWhen I was pregnant, I liked cranberry or orange juice with club soda (aerated, no caffiene, very few chemicals).

if you "drink too much cola", with caffeine, you could be moderately dehydrated. That, plus eating poorly and the tiredness from caring for a new baby (by the way, congratulations!) ---to me, it adds up to a kidney infection.  Please get it checked out.

I'd only go on Easy mode with some of the slower songs that don't involve jumping.  Excercise is good if you're pregnant, it can make the labor easier, but I'd check with your doctor about which excercises are good.  DDR may or may not be good for it.  I knew a woman that jogged during pregnancy and she had a great labor.  So find out with a doctor.

Yes.  A little drink is perfectly harmless (unless it's during a red tide or it's polluted).\n\nIt's only a serious problem when you are unable to drink anything else (like in a liferaft without fresh water).  The high salt content wouldn't quench your thirst for long and would just increase the salt in your body (further dehydrating you) and make you sick.

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.

I wouldn't take a darn thing but some saltine crackers. Do not risk any harm to your baby. This will pass once you reach the 3 month mark.

As far as I know, no.\n\nHowever, it is necessary for a pregnant woman to keep her haemoglobin level ok, because if not, she will have anemia and she can't provide her baby with enough oxygen.\n\nCalcium is necessary too, so that bones of the baby form well.

They don't use x-rays on humans at the airport. The scanners are metal detectors, and yes, it's perfectly safe to travel when you're pregnant (as long as you're not on bed rest, etc...). Just make sure you drink enough water on the plane so you don't get dehydrated and walk around a little (to and from the bathroom) every hour or so to get the blood circulating to your legs.

get yourself some pennyroyal; but, be very careful not to allow a lactating or pregnant mother use the herb...for them it would be dangerous...for you it will dry up your lungs tremendously

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

Some types of sushi, such as California rolls (which contain steamed crab) and cooked eel, are fine to eat while you're pregnant. But it's best to avoid eating the kinds that contain raw seafood, such as tuna. Fresh, raw seafood is potentially risky because it can contain parasites such as tapeworm, which, if they grow large enough, could rob your body of nutrients needed for your growing baby. Freezing and cooking deep-sixes the parasites. For this reason, many Japanese restaurants that specialize in sushi use frozen rather than fresh fish. But restaurants in the United States aren't required to freeze fish before serving it raw.\nAs far as eatting canned tuna and the like at home- According to the latest recommendations, pregnant women can safely eat up to 12 ounces of a variety of fish a week. Canned tuna is one of the most commonly consumed types of fish with low mercury levels according to the FDA. Pregnant and nursing women can safely consume albacore as one of their fish choices. The new advisory tells pregnant women they can safely eat up to six ounces of albacore a week (an average sandwich contains 2 ounces).

Cyst on Ovary, Enlarged Uterus, Wanting a Baby, Frequent Trips to the Bathroom?\n\nSounds to me like acidity, which may prevent you from having a baby. Want to try modern and ancient alternatives?\n\nBecoming Alkaline\nYou may want to measure your pH urine and saliva. Both should be 7.5 at all times, as I see it. If not, you may want to add more and more alkaline-forming food to your diet, until the pH is alkaline. With acidity all kinds of disorders may occur. See www.biochakra.com, Hilite article of April 2006, Only Two Diseases Possible - on acidity and alkalinity.\n\nWhen Cleaning May be Too Fast\nYet, an alkaline diet is cleansing and may cleanse too fast, which may cause an acid reaction by stirring up too quickly the toxins stored in bones and tissues. In that case, the pH would again go down despite of an alkaline-forming diet. You may have to eat less alkaline-forming food for some time and add more beans or other grounding foods to your diet, or have some of the foods your body is craving at that time.\n\nMeasuring the pH with pH Paper\nYou can get a roll of pH paper from the health food store. You use a bit of it to dip in urine and another piece to dip in saliva. The pH paper will discolor according to your pH. The color scale of the pH paper box tells you what pH you are dealing with, when you compare the color of each used piece of pH paper with the color on the pH box.\n\nAcid- and Alkaline-forming Foods\nAlkaline-forming foods are mainly vegetables and fruit.\nAcid-forming foods are mainly meat, chicken, fish, dairy.\n\nAlkaline Boosters\nCarrot beet juice is alkaline-forming, as are yams, wild rice, blueberries, ginger, green or white tea, yeast, etc. See books on alkaline food. You may want to have several kinds every day according to your pH. You may want to keep a pH list with notes your pH, the time and date and what you have consumed and experienced (emotions, environment) to see what makes you acid and what makes you alkaline.\n\nDinshah Color MedicineTM - Healing with the Speed of LightTM\nFurthermore you may want to try Dinshah Color MedicineTM, using the Dinshah color Indigo daily and once a week the Dinshah color Orange, on your belly. All is energy and nothing may be faster than healing with the speed of light, literally.\n\nDinshah Color Filters\nAll you need for Dinshah Color MedicineTM is a set of Dinshah color filters (gels; via www.biochakra.com, contact us), which you place in a simple self-made filter holder, which is taped to a regular reading lamp.\n\nHow to Use Dinshah Color MedicineTM\nYou may want to shine the colored light on your belly for 1/2 hour or an hour, every day, or may be even twice.

Filters and How To Info (pamphlet) for $3 from www.biochakra.com.\n\nMuch alkaline success and your dream baby!\nCordially, India.Magica

I would recommend against it.  Animal studies should adverse fetal effects during pregnancy.  While nursing, it is unknown.\n\nRemember that a lot of ADHD drugs are Schedule II drugs, meaning they have the potential to be addictive. I wouldn't want a baby to take that.

Ive heard cranberry juice, then again i wouldnt know because im not a smoker. Other than that you could stick a baby in your purse, go into the bathroom and squeeze some out into the cup.

Absolutely. With a normal pregnancy, you can keep doing it right up until your water breaks. Do check with your doctor or midwife first if you've been treated for premature labor or if you're having any problems with your pregnancy, such as a shortened or dilated cervix, leaking amniotic fluid, placenta previa, or bleeding, or if you have a history of miscarriages. There are some instances when you should avoid having sex.\n\nBut as long as your pregnancy is normal, you won't hurt the baby by making love, even with your partner on top. The thick mucus plug that seals the cervix helps guard against infection. The amniotic sac and the strong muscles of the uterus also protect your baby. Though your baby may thrash around a bit after orgasm, it's because of your pounding heart, not because he knows what's happening or feels pain. \n\nWill it feel as good?\nEven better for some women, not as good for others. Increased blood flow to the pelvic area can cause engorgement of the genitals and heighten the sensation. But the same engorgement gives other women an uncomfortable feeling of fullness after intercourse ends. Also, some women may have abdominal cramps during or after intercourse. Your breasts may become enlarged and can be more tender, which can cause discomfort when they're fondled. You may have more vaginal discharge or moistness, which can make sex either more pleasurable or can result in some vaginal irritation. If you notice a sudden change in the amount of vaginal discharge or a foul or unusual odor, check with your practitioner. You could have a vaginal infection or your bag of waters may have broken. When your water breaks, you may feel a slow leak rather than a gush of fluid all at once.
