no herbal supplements unless approved

limit tuna and salmon intake, (i rarely have it anyway).

keep caffeine intake to 2 drinks per day only (soda or coffee) *i don't drink either anyway*

oh...with my last pregnancy i wanted to use an herbal 'quit smoking' method, but was not allowed to, instead i was advised to cut back and eventually quit gradually...but i actually just quit cold turkey. *two yrs smoke free this month, go me! lol*

no roller coaster riding

no horseback riding

no trips over 2hrs long after my 24 wk. preggers (I'm high-risk w/gestational diabetes)

limit hot bathes to 20-30mins.

watch my carb intake (gestational diabetes)...so no pasta, large amounts of ice cream, and potatoes *I'm crying about no ice cream! lol*

only Tylenol products for headaches or sinus problems...etc.

One of the things that surprised me that I never would have thought about was that I could no longer use my topical acne medication (I think I was using Differin (sp?) Gel at the time). It never occured to me that a product you use on your skin/face could affect your baby in any way. Live and learn. Best of luck to you.,

no ceasar dressing (its made w/ raw eggs)

if u like tuna limit it to 6 oz a week (due to the mercury)

no hot tubs or saunas

dont sleep on your back (there is an artery and the baby could press on it causing both of you a risk of death) try to only sleep on your left side (its best for circulation)

limit caffeine to 16 oz a day

only take tylenol for pains/aches (no ib prof or advil or aleve)

No sandwich meat because of listeria. Some fish (high in mercury). Soft cheeses. Certain medications. Lower caffine intake.

i dont think the doctor told me any no-no's other than no caffiene you're not supposed to take baths that are really hot either but other than that
